If you have evaluated your situation and you have determined that the cause of your cat’s stress and anxiety is not medically induced you may want to try an OTC stress remedy. Once a cat has worked themselves into a lather it can be difficult to calm them down, and sometimes even with our best efforts we may need help alleviating our cat’s stress. Fortunately, there are many products available to help us calm our stressed out kitty.

Rescue Remedy is probably the most popular product used for relieving stress and anxiety in cats. This product is a Bach Flower Essence, which is a mixture of flowers in alcohol or another base. Rescue Remedy is made up of five different flowers and can actually be calming for humans and animals. You can put a few drops of Rescue Remedy right in your cat’s water dish when they need stress and anxiety relief.

Feliway Comfort Zone is another popular stress and anxiety product for cats. This product uses a feline friendly pheromone that imitates the facial pheromone cats use when they mark their territory. This product was originally made to prevent cats from spraying a home to mark their territory, but for some reason it also helps calm your cat. This product works through a plug in device that diffuses the pheromone in the room in which it is used.

There are many other stress and anxiety products made for cats and it is important that you find what works for your kitty. The important thing is to make sure whatever you are using is safe for cats. If you are ever in doubt consult your veterinarian before using a new product on your cat or in your home.
