Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

These collars REALLY do help. Our two male cats have been best friends since we've had them. In December, one of them got outside and encountered a stray cat. When he came back in, he took out his aggression on his brother. It was a violent attack that traumatized us all. We kept them separated and slowly introduced them back to one another over about two weeks. Using these calming collars helped the process. Additionally, our orange tabby has always been timid and scared. This collar changed his personality - he is much more relaxed and very loving now! Both of them are more affectionate now. A couple of notes - I think you get a good 3 weeks max out of the collar - not a month. Also - there is a noticeable smell (lavendar) but it didn't bother me. Finally - there are a lot of reviews warning about the danger of the collars getting caught. I was worried about this, so here is what I did. I made a scrunchie type collar with elastic on the inside that I can slip on and that can easily slip off if the cat gets it caught on something. On the inside I cut a small slit and where I inserted two smaller cut sections of the calming collar. The collar comes in a longer length that must be cut to size anyway. This way allows you to use just part of the collar, so I was able to use the rest on the 2nd cat. Two for one, and it eliminates the safety concern. It also might eliminate any rash or skin sensitivety issues the cat might have, since the calming collar is not touching their skin directly this way. I've attached a picture to give you an idea. Bottom line - These collars are definitely worth it if you have stressed or aggressive cats.
