Jackson Galaxy: Scaredy Cat (2 oz.) - Pet Solution - Promotes Sense of Self-Confidence and Reassurance - Perfect for Cats Who Hide and Run from Touch - All-Natural Formula - Reiki Energy

I added a new 7 yr old male cat to my household 3 years ago. I already had a 4 yr old female. I followed all the recommended steps of introduction over 3 months. The new addition had been surrendered to rescue by family who had him since he was a kitten. He was adopted out by rescue a couple of times but was returned for bullying other cats. So once I became aware of these additives I added the bullying solution to his food while giving the female the stress relief mixture.After observing his behavior over time I considered that his aggression towards other cats was more of a fear response - I’ll get you before you get me. Once I realized that I added the stress relief to his food as well, discontinuing the bullying drops. The female cat kept him at bay by hissing. There were just a few fights weeks apart with the female always getting away unhurt.Recently there were lots of changes in the household due to my having surgery and being confined to a wheelchair and a full time care giver joining the household. This resulted in my female cat withdrawing and living full time in the bedroom closet and under my bed. This was a drastic change for a cat who spent most of her days on my lap. Now that things are back to normal, she is getting a bit more confident venturing out in the hallway loudly demanding her food or affection. I am encouraging her to follow me into the rest of the house but giving her time to come out on her own. I also give her the scarity cat solution while spraying the safe space solution within the house. I see quite a bit of progress in the behavior in both. He lays down near by while she eats or gets my affection and she is not spooked by his presence. This week, their noses touched twice for extended periods of time with no hissing or aggression by either cats. I am convinced that these Jackson Galaxy products are very effective if properly used for identified behaviors.

Day one - I had to sneak over to my scaredy cat to get near her with this stuff - she loves fish oil and drinks it from a dropper. When I whipped this dropper out she ran over, thinking it was fish oil, then got a whiff of it and ran away.Later on, I was able to put 3-4 drops on the back of her neck on day one, getting in two doses since it arrived late afternoon. Next day - cat was not happy about the smell but if I put the drops on my hand and rubbed them together she allowed me to give her a back massage and get this rubbed in. I had to reach into her closet hidey hole to dose her during the day but she got 4 doses on her back. She's had 3-4 doses a day since then, with varying degrees of cooperation on her part but I never had to hunt her down and cause more stress.It is now day 8. She'll wander over and present me with her back when I wave the bottle. She stays still and purrs loudly as I drop 4 drops on the back of her neck, directly out of the dropper, then rub it in.She's out and about more, doesn't bolt immediately (which she did, even for me, her favorite person, if I just walked by). She shows up several times a day for social time with her humans. She never had a problem with our other cat, just people, so this is a MAJOR improvement. We have 5 ceiling fans in our house and she had become afraid of them and would run and hide under a bed when they were turned on LOW - now she just looks up and then continues about her business, not running away.It seems that she's learning new behavior. In situations where she might have bolted in the past, if she starts to now and I stay still for a second, she stops in mid-bolt, thinks about it for a second, then sits back down allowing me to approach or she actually comes over to me. We have a much happier cat in one week and I can't wait to see what happens in 6-8 weeks, which is how long the product says it can take to see improvements.We had tried a LOT of different products over the years for her, with varying results. The only product that worked this well in the past was the Sentry calming collar, but that thing is very dangerous (it is NOT breakaway) so we won't use it. This is the first product in a couple of years that has worked for our kitty so it may not be for everyone, but when it works, IT'S GREAT!

We own a Bengal Tiger cat who is 6 years old. He's a love with my husband and I but lacks social skills for anyone else who comes to our house. Loves to hiss and is quite vocal when company tries to be-friend him. We made a decision to move and my biggest concern was with my cat, Mycroft, and whether he would survive the 15 hour road trip and then being in an unfamiliar place. So, I decided to purchase Scaredy Cat. It's been a life changer. He started to take it twice a day in his food about 2 months before the trip. We noticed a big difference when company came over. He made the trip without issue. Understandably, the vacant house was frightening. But once our furniture was delivered, he knew he was "home". I still give him the drops twice daily and will not stop this routine. He's much better around people. Even my family who haven't seen him in a year, noticed a tremendous difference. He might hiss on occasion but only when given more attention that he wants. I love this product and would recommend it to anyone who has a cat who lacks social skills and who doesn't welcome strangers! Thank you Jackson Galaxy and Amazon...

Does not work. Which is not surprising, given that one of the "ingredients" is "full spectrum light." And another is "reiki energy." So, presumably, the mechanism for how this works is magic. This is woo, pure and simple. I figured it couldn't hurt to try, with my very shy cat. Well, it didn't hurt, I suppose, although he didn't like the smell of it, but it didn't do anything either. (What has ACTUALLY had an effect: Feliway, catnip, Xanax, and good old-fashioned gradual desensitization. But not this.)
