Our neutered male older cat has bitten 2 of our other cats, usually on body, has cost us $2000.00 for both the bites, will this stop him from biting?

It might help, I would get a collar for each one of the cats. This helped my 2 that would fight with each other. Good luck!

Hi, I`m sorry I Took so long to answer , but I've been travelling.I am really not a veterinarian, only a cat owner. They tell you to talk to yours first , and it was what I did. But, in my not specialized opinion, I suppose it would help, since my aunt's cat had a very similar situation to yours (but it was a female cat), and it helped her a lot.

I've seen it calm even super-stressed out wildcats so I think it should be moderately helpful.

I had the same problem with my 2 cats. It helped my male cat to calm down and stopped the biting after wearing the collar for one day. So I ordered more collars so my female cat can wear it to help her with stress. Unfortunately my female cat had a severe allergic reaction to the collar, she ended up with a swollen mouth and her hair around the neck fell off. We had to rush her to the vet and they had to wash her with Dawn to get rid of the chemicals. I decided to take off the collar on the male cat and ordered the Feliway diffuser. So far the diffuser seems to work well, both cats are calm and the male cat does not chase nor bite the female cat. I had the same problem with my 2 cats.

Some say it helps with their cat's aggressiveness, but my cat acted a little drowsy the first couple of days of wearing it and then went back to his unruly behavior once the collar lost the straight out of the package effectiveness.

My kitties still play and roughhouse but the aggressive attacks stopped. It's important to use the collar on all of them so each are calmed and don't act aggressive or submissive. I hope this helps.

Many vets do use it for cats. If you google it, you'll find dosage and so on. We use it for those of our cats who will eat food with medicine in it, and it has taken care of the problem without ill-effect. For our two holdouts we use profender, which you can get from petbucket via amazon at an affordable price (our vet uses it and charges $24.00. Here it costs $7.00-8.00 depending on the cat's size.).

One of my cats bit most of them off. I think these are great for cats purely on a case by case basis. I think some cats are neurotic and won't allow their precious nails to be suffocated. . Others don't notice. But who knows? Maybe after a while of using the caps your cat will adjust to them and they will stop caring.

The fine! The coarse has teeth much too wide for thin cat skin. It will definitely cut the cats skin. Fine is very safe.

These did seem to help my cat with his over grooming. He definitely cut down. Ultimately, it was not enough for him to stop and he had to be on anxiety medications to completely get over it. You may also want try those pheromone collars or sprays. They seemed to help too.

It helps to have a second person to help, either holding your cat or prepping the claw covers. My cats don't mind the process, but wrapping them in a blanket to protect you might help.

As long as your cat is at least 10 pounds, it'll be fine. My cat weighs 12 lbs, and it works great on him. The collar was gigantic, but you can make it fit and cut off the excess. He wears this thing for 2 weeks at a time and only gets it taken off for bathtime, and it doesn't bother him at all. I'm not exactly sure why you aren't supposed to leave it on them for more than 16 hours I think it is- maybe so it doesn't rub a raw spot or cause a callus to develop, but it hasn't done anything to him. The shock is so mild that all it makes him do is hunker down for a second then he runs away. He doesn't cry or hiss or anything; his little ears just go back and you can tell he doesn't like it. I tested it on myself before I put it on the cat, and it feels a lot like putting a 9 volt battery on your tongue (if you've ever done that). I hope that helps!

There s a black line near the top of the plastic vial. I use scissors to cut straight across and then squeeze the solution between the cat s shoulder blades behind the neck. That s where they are least likely to lick it off. Separate the fur and get it on as much skin as possible.

The nails stay on about a month. You'll see a couple come off and that's maybe cuz your cat chews on them. I stopped using soft claws because my cat didn't like them and I felt bad. Invest on a large cat scratching post. My cat loves it. Sits on it all day long. And it's the only thing she goes after to scratch.

Yes but it did not work on my cat. She was still jumping quickly and biting and scratching. How very frustrating for us and her! The only thing I liked about it was the smell and the safer aspect of it. Glad that I got it at the add on price that didn't cost a lot, but its still wasted money that is hard to come by, if it doesn't work for me.. I'm so tired of buying things that don't work. Sigh.

My cat has chewed on the collar but it doesn't break off. He got it caught once on a door stopper and it broke off.

Yes, without a doubt. This is what your cat's biology was made for. 100% guarantee or your money back.

Pure Bites makes a smaller package for cats (per oz it costs twice as much) so yes it is fine for cats. I buy the large dog size bag because it is cheaper that way. It has a long shelf life and is the most cost effective way to purchase this expensive but very worthwhile product. Then I just break the pieces into cat size chunks. It seems unfair that the smaller cat packages sold in the cat section should cost twice as much per oz.

I think it depends on the pet. Our cats avoid an area only when they know the barrier is not there or if we have the collars on. The second the collars are off or they know the battery is dead they are exactly where they're not supposed to be. If you are buying for a cat I would suggest you don't. The electrodes are too far apart from either to fit a cat's neck. Both electrodes need to make contact but they rarely do because of the width between and the small neck on a cat.

Maybe, but at 9 weeks, keeping them from jumping and climbing is hard. It's how they learn to hunt, their reason for being. It won't hurt and it might mellow him out a bit. Just don't expect him to act like an older cat that knows the rules. If it's leather furniture, there are repair kits that are miraculous. Keep his nails trimmed with an cat nail trimmer (start with removing small 1/4" amounts or he won't want to let you do it). Never hit him, and get him fixed. Enjoy your kitten--they are a non-stop entertainment machine.

It depends on the weight if your cat! But I have found that this doesn't even help my cats over 9 lbs. Good luck . I was a Vet. Tech back n the day before all this stuff. DO NOT put on KITTENS!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I bought this for the same reason...actually my cat chewed the other one. This works great
