Just like people, cats can experience stress and anxiety, but they communicate it differently. Signs such as scratching furniture, spraying urine, or excessive meowing indicate your cat is struggling. Stress sources can include unavoidable changes like a new pet, family member, moving house, or acute events like fireworks. Recognising these behaviours early helps you choose the right calming product to improve your cat's wellbeing.
Beaphar CatComfort® uses pheromone technology that mimics naturally reassuring scents cats produce, helping reduce anxiety and promote calm behaviour. These products are safe for kittens and adult cats alike and are excellent for managing stress in various situations, including moving, vet visits, and social challenges.
Cats may hide or show anxious behaviour during events such as fireworks or thunderstorms. The Beaphar CatComfort® Calming Diffuser offers a continuous release of calming pheromones, creating a reassuring environment. For optimal effect, keep the diffuser plugged in continuously and replace refills regularly with the 30 Day Refill.
Multi-cat homes can be particularly stressful as cats prefer solitary living. The Calming Spot-On contains maternal appeasing pheromones, supporting bonding between cats and other pets, and reducing aggressive behaviours. This targeted approach promotes harmony and peaceful coexistence.
Travel and trips to unfamiliar places can be stressful for cats. The pocket-sized Calming Spray is ideal for short-term use, effective up to five hours. Spray it inside empty carriers and on blankets 15 minutes before travel to help your cat feel more secure. Avoid spraying directly on your cat or while inside the carrier. For longer outings like vet visits or boarding, the Calming Spot-On provides up to a week of continuous calming effect.
Stress from moving can trigger unwanted behaviours like furniture scratching. Combining Beaphar CatComfort® calming products can be particularly effective. Before moving, spray the carrier with the calming spray and apply the calming spot-on to your cat for reassurance throughout the journey and settling in days. Once you arrive, place a calming diffuser in your chosen room to help your cat feel safe as they explore their new environment. Provide familiar toys and bedding sprayed lightly with the calming spray for additional comfort.
Choosing calming products is a compassionate way to support your cat’s mental health during stressful events. Always acquire products from reputable sources and use them as directed to maintain your cat’s safety and wellbeing. Encouraging a stress-free environment aligns with responsible pet ownership, ensuring your cat enjoys a happy, healthy life.
Every cat experiences stress differently, so selecting the right calming product based on the situation will help your feline friend feel reassured and reduce problem behaviours. Whether managing fireworks, multi-pet tensions, travel anxieties, or moving house, Beaphar CatComfort® offers effective solutions tailored to your cat’s needs. Combined with attentive care and environmental enrichment, you can help your cat lead a calm and contented life.
