My cat has biting and aggression problems. (She was declawed very young before I adopted her.) Anyone know if these treats can help?

The biting comes from a lack of claws. My cat bites when he plays, and it's not a nipping bite. It does seem to calm him down, but I give him his treat at night before bed. I was told it's safe to give the cat 2 if one doesn't work. I haven't needed to. Yet. :-)

Since my kitty has anxiety related issues and not as severe as yours, it would be hard to say. Sounds like you might need some other remedies. For biting, it has always worked for me to put something they should chew on immediately near their mouth and consistently training with a firm No. Good luck!

Honestly, my cats didn't even like the taste of these. I have a Feliway plugged into the wall, though - it seems to help some.

I don't have a cat but it did not stop my Dachshund from chewing his feet, he just curled around it. Since cats are also very flexible I think you might have better success with the cone. There is a soft cone that is not really uncomfortable, just pathetic looking and very effective at stopping that kind of chronic behavior.

No! I had a leayher couth and my cat was so excited..he couldn't help but scratch the couch with his claws. It puts them in a better mood but does not stop yhem from clawing!

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.

My cats are declawed in the front but have the rear claws. We never had an issue. Unless your cats' claws are long, it shouldn't be an issue.

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.

My cat didn't like them either. I think they are too big and too hard. No help here! I switched to the VETOQUINOL Enisyl-F Lysine Treats Foil Pouch, 180gm. They are still hard, but smaller and must taste better. She gobbles them right up.

For my cats I used both. They work wonders. All the same. I look for bargains and buy the 6 pack. It stopped aggression in my cats and from speaking on my floor. I'll always use this product.

I'm sure it varies by cat. Ours will hunt for treats for about 5 minutes, leave, and come back later; she has developed the ability to do a "bear-claw scoop" action -- but it still takes some time. And some I think are hidden in there to the point where she does not get them easily.

Are you aware of how awfully painful is for cats to be declawed? Besides that if they go outside, they are defendless. It is more humane to trim their nails as needed

It might be worth a try. I'm not sure it has that much power. I used it to help my cats be less agressive with one aother and I think it worked; they are getting along better. You might call your vet for suggestions.

Every feline is different. This product did not work at all for my cat...so I am not sure if it would work. I work with feral cats who are sometimes unable to even touch...I use a safe trap with tuna...also, your vet may be able to recommend something to calm her for her grooming. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I think this may help calm your cat down. It seems to have made our cats much more tolerant and well-behaved.

It might be a huge help, but the best way to tell is to try it. I found it worked wonders for a very anti-social kitty that had been abused. VERY calming.We'd worked with him for almost a year with little success. We'd done everything to make him feel loved and secure but he was still quite aggressive with my other cats. He wasn't spraying, just being aggressive or hiding. Spraying can be due to so many other factors that its harder to eliminate, but this does have a calming effect on kitty and might make it easier to give him the meds. Is there other animals outside that he can see or smell that are making him anxious and protecting his territory? Its the most common reason for spraying if there is no illness present to cause it. These supplements are a great place to start, but you will need to investigate what is making him insecure so he feels the need to mark territory. Jackson Galaxy has some great cat advice videos on utube, his TV show, "My Cat From Hell" has some good techniques that will help you. Pam Hohnson-Bennett has some great cat advice books that you can find used on Amazon that are game changers. Solving your fur child's problem will require some thought and effort on your part, but every moment you spend will be worth it, repaid in unconditional love for the rest of his life. Please do not give up on your baby and dump him in a shelter, this can be fixed. The love you will get (not to mention good karma:) is more than worth the effort and expense. Much good luck and love, hugs and purrs from the Crazy Catlady!

Both of my cats love treats (Temptations) they get a couple every night. I included one in those, but the cat that needs the supplement the most will eat the Temptation treats and leave the L-Lysine treat. The other cat would eat both of the L-Lysine treats. I wish I could get them to eat the treats instead of having to give them the paste but I can see that's not going to happen, so I probably will not be ordering the L-Lysine treats again.

Since your cats get along, I think one would work fine. In fact it should be quite comical to watch the two of them try to get the treats at the same time! enjoy

Yes, they are hard, but then they are dental treats and are to clean the teeth. My cats haven't had any troubles. Maybe like your cat is used to something softer, or like another person said, you might have a stale bag.
