Edited-Should I remove a star due to cat harassment?
Update--the formula for this treat has been changed and it's simply awful in every way now. My cats have been eating this every night for literally a decade, but they outright refuse the new formula. I don't blame them. It smells disgusting, looks like turds, and is a completely unspreadable texture, which kinda eliminates the whole purpose of being a gel treat. Whoever approved this new formula should be fired. It's completely garbage and now I have to find or make a new nighttime treat for my senior cats. The new packaging looks nice, but that's all it has going for it. Changing my review from 5 stars to 1. I'm so sad.
Original review for the good formula-I give this to my cats every single evening before bed. Apparently my cats have learned to tell time, seeing as they begin the harassment for the Pet-Ease promptly at 10pm without fail. I give it to them every night partly because it helps keep them calm and quiet during the evening (instead of playing the "how many different walls can I ricochet off of?" and the "how many times can I run in circles on the bed before I'm squirted with the water gun?" games all night), and partly because otherwise I think they might murder me in my sleep.
It is also helpful for other stressful situations, lately including scary thunderstorms, a strange puppy in the house, moving, parties full of loud drunk people, an overly-boisterous child neighbor visting, and being professionally photographed by a scary stranger. Only one time (strange puppy) was one of the cats unwilling to eat the paw gel, and every time they take it they are much more relaxed. They may remain freaked out, but they don't stay at the "go in that hiding spot where no one can find me for three days" level anymore.
