Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have two cats: the neutered male is easy-go-lucky and laid back, the spayed female is beyond high-strung. I recently needed to take a lengthy trip by car, stay at my destination with the cats for two weeks, then return via car. I was extremely concerned that the female would be so distressed as to make the trip impossible. I used this product to spray the carriers for both trips, then also "treated" the car before loading everyone into the back seat. It was wonderful! The high-strung cat sometimes goes berserk just on the 5 mile drive to the vet, so driving over 500 miles was daunting, but she stayed calm the whole drive. She was also treated with a mild tranquilizer, but even after it had worn off (with two hours left on the drive) she was significantly more relaxed. Once at our destination, I sprayed the product around the rooms where she would be staying and within two days you would think she'd lived there her entire life! I no longer live in dread of putting my cats in the car. One tip, however... The product has an alcohol base. When first sprayed it smells as though you are spraying vodka or rubbing alcohol around. My cats really dislike that smell, so I make certain to let it evaporate some before introducing them to the treated area. At the vet's office, they sprayed some in the treatment room while the high-strung cat was there and just the smell of the alcohol got her agitated. Perhaps she just has a bad association with the smell, but if it's "aired out" a bit, she doesn't seem to notice.
