A friend of mine adopted a cat about a year or so ago. This poor kitty looked to have come from a pretty dire situation. It was a purebred cat that had obviously been used as part of a breeding mill. She was extremely frightened of nearly everyone and everything. She didn’t even know how to play with toys and would only chase her tail, a sign that she spent much of her time cooped up in a cage. (She now knows how to play with toys!) My friend, who has had a lot of experience with various cats, wasn’t even initially able to pet her. Over time she’s opened up and can be pet, but even now you have to be careful with how you pet her or she will freak out. Picking her up isn’t even an option, which makes any sort of medical or preventative care truly difficult.
Now while my friend has been helping this beautiful cat adapt to a normal, loving household, the cat still has issues with stress and anxiety. She will often over-groom, leading to scabs and bald patches in her coat. Fleas have contributed to this some, but the main issue with her has been and still is anxiety and stress. We have some calming diffusers and those have helped, but more was needed.
I got these just under a week ago and they’ve made a marked difference, particularly when paired with the Bayer II flea treatment. There’s a marked improvement in her coat and demeanor, plus she’s easier to approach. She doesn’t really even react as much when you pass by her, something that’s really nice as cats should be able to fully relax in their homes.
I can’t vouch for the taste myself, obviously, but I can say that the cat absolutely loves them. My friend has another cat that doesn’t need these, but also loves how they taste so he has to be kept away or he’ll try to figure out ways to steal her morning treat – not that she gives up these treats willingly! It’s already become a daily morning ritual that she looks forward to. I’m absolutely buying more of these, particularly since they’re so reasonably priced! I purchased some pricier ones at PetSmart that neither cat would even touch (CatMX), so it’s nice that I can get good, helpful treats at a reasonable price!

Our young adult cat sometimes has an excess of kitten energy, to the point of being a problem. These chews take a bit of the edge off her behavior, without making her seem drugged. She’s just a tad calmer, but with her alertness and playfulness intact. Unfortunately, she will not eat them (she just never eats treats of any kind), but we grind them to powder in a mortar and pestle and mix it into her wet food.
UPDATE: When we first adopted our cat, she had gone through stress at the shelter and before, and they were giving her prescription calming aids. We didn’t want to drug her, but started giving her these chews, which seemed to take the edge off, so we continued. Recently she started acting more anxious, a bit aggressive, restless, and perhaps even hallucinating. We gave her a double dose of the chew and it seemed worse, so we stopped it completely. Now she is so much calmer, getting on our laps again, just generally back to the sweet cat she had been. I don’t know why, but it’s pretty clear she started having a paradoxical reaction to the chews. After looking into it, people can react that way to l-theanine, with anxiety rather than being calmer, so it may be the l-theanine. It doesn’t seem like colostrum or thiamine would do that. We dealt with a paradoxical reaction in another cat, but it was to Xanax, which literally (and I’m using “literally” in the correct way) had her climbing the walls all night.

Update – July 27, 2023
Until recently, my cat has eagerly eaten 1 of these treats before bedtime for an entire year. I don’t know if they changed the recipe or made a bad batch, but he will not eat from the most recent package I bought – and I bought 2 bags in June. I thought about trying the treats from the other bag, but they both have the same lot number. My current plan is to see if Petco has these with a different lot #. Will buy a package to try if they do. Might try contacting Pet Naturals as well. I called these my cat’s chill pill, because he would not be as annoying to me or his sister after taking. The lot number on the package he won’t eat is – 541202001 0325
Original review – about June 2022
You will need to figure out how this best works for your situation. We have 2 sibling cats, age 5. The boy annoys the girl frequently. She growls when he gets near. When he goes after her and they run and tussle, she screams. There is never blood, but we’d prefer not to deal with this. I originally gave both cats a calming treat around 5 p.m. with dinner. The treats are kinda large so I just break them in half. They both really liked them and I could tell they made both cats pretty mellow fairly quickly. We went through one whole bag and then I was feeling like the effects were not lasting very long. We were having some blow-ups — lots of screaming — around midnight. I decided to skip giving our female a calming treat, because if her brother wouldn’t annoy her she’d be fine. AND I switched the timing on the treat. I’m now giving him the calming treat right before I get in bed (and I give her a regular cat treat so she doesn’t feel cheated). For us, that seems to be very helpful. There are occasional blow-ups here and there but no more at night. (Except the one night I forgot to give the treat. Ay yi y!!!) I don’t know if our girl cat is more sensitive because she’s a calico. For now, I plan to continue with these treats for our boy cat at our bedtime.

These are great for calming my anxious little dogs on days that I may be gone longer or if storms are in the area. I always keep them on hand.

I gave these 4 stars because they REALLY WORK, I took a star off because they are deceiving… BEWARE: READ MY STORY: I gave ONE of these to my 55 pound doberman mix who is TOTALLY CRAZY in the afternoon the day they arrived with no expectations because nothing calms her down, ever. Nothing happened. The next day, again in the afternoon, I gave her ONE again. An hour later she was drooling uncontrollably, knocking her head into walls and furniture while walking in the house, walking like she was drunk, her tongue was hanging out of the side of her mouth, she would not eat or drink water and was visibly disoriented and confused and distressed. My husband and I spent the entire rest of the day taking turns sitting with her on a blanket outside trying to put water in her mouth and just watching her breathe and sleep to make sure she was “ok”. And yes, we considered taking her to an emergency vet. We didn’t do that because we know our dog really well, we’ve seen her on the verge of death sick, injured, terrified, we know her whole spectrum from great to terrible. And we watched her every second until after midnight when she started to come out of the outrageously intense “drugged” state she was in. The next morning she was back to normal. So… how should I end this review? These things worked on a dog who has been given A LOT of natural remedies for fear, anxiety, aggression, reactivity, etc. and showed absolutely no sign of change from any of them. That means that there is an ingredient or combination of ingredients in these things that is REALLY EFFECTIVE. And she is totally fine, it was apparently just too much for her system. It could be that they become more effective if given daily seeing as there was no effect the first day and the second day with just TWO treats in her system she acted like she was on heroin for about 7 hours. I don’t think there is anything bad about these, in fact, to be honest, I’m relieved we actually found something that works on her and no, I didn’t throw them out, but no, I haven’t given her any since that day. They are sitting in her treat drawer, wrapped up tight in a ziplock bag, way in the back, ha! I will keep them on hand for emergency situations. I have also considered breaking off a TINY piece and giving it to her and then watching her closely as an experiment. Anyway that’s my story, sorry it was so long, but I know there are a lot of dog moms (and dads) out there who might not have to go through the scary situation I did if they read this first. I’m not saying don’t get these, but I am saying be careful with the dosage!! Also I checked out the company and they seem great. Good luck!

This busy butter works wonders an calmed both my furbabies and helped them when traveling and vet visits . My micro puppy had 6 licks an sleeped for 3 hours after it . Only annoying thing is when i bought it in 31st January it was £41.50 just checked today an its 59.50 why the huge price hike is beyond me. Worth looking else where to see if u can get it cheaper , cause lets face it amazon is rippin the piss with there prices noo adays

I think this treat does help calm my cat but I can’t use them. They are large and hard as rocks. I tried crumbling and even cutting with a knife but the chunks are still too hard for one of my cats who has sensative gums. I tried soaking the treat in warm water and my other cat will eat part of it. I do think it calmed him a little but it makes a mess. Too much trouble.

packaging and quality is very good and used by my pet they loved it so much.

It work reasonably well to calm my dog during thunderstorms, but you have to spend about 30 to 45 mins initially with your dog to reinforce his confidence

OUR JEKYLL AND HYDE PETITE RESCUE CAT
A while back, we rescued a poor little kitten who showed up on our doorstep. She was completely feral, and our daughter worked with her for a couple weeks to make her tame. Now she is one of the sweetest of cats… except that she has this Jekyll and Hyde thing going on.
BULLY
You see, we also have a gentle giant male cat that is about twice her size. Unfortunately, she sometimes bullies him mercilessly. Not always, but sometimes she gets into a mood where she stalks him, shrieks at him, and then chases him with a vengeance. She also flips out when she is startled by him.
I’m sure all of this behavior is related to her feral days when she had to protect herself and she had to forage for food.
IT REALLY WORKS! — REACTION SIMILAR TO AFTER A KITTEN NURSES
So, in desperation, we decided to give this product a try. IT REALLY WORKS! Our little alley cat starts to knead blankets and then gradually falls asleep. It’s almost like she had just nursed from her mama. I’m sure the colostrum plays a major role in this aspect.
BOTTOM LINE — YOUR RESULT MAY BE DIFFERENT, BUT EVEN SO, THESE MAKE A GREAT TREAT
Bottom line: Every cat is different, so you might not experience a similar result. However, given the low price point, it’s worth a shot. I will say that both our cats gobble up these treats… evidently, they taste great. So, even if you get a different result, your cat will probably enjoy this product as an occasional special treat.
