Calming L-Tryptophan for Cats

I am glad that this is not something my stressy furball has to swallow but can be opened and sprinkled over his food. I wanted to test this as its a natural alternative to vet medications for calming. He is currently fast asleep after stuffing his little furry face. So far so good, but time will tell.

My loving tubby cat gets totally stressed when visitors come to stay and will Trimble and yowl when locked in with them. I give her one of these well mixed into the gravy of her food and it definitely helps to calm her.I have tried the branded stuff and the plug ins. This is an excellent alternative and better on the purse strings.

Can’t recommend these enough.Tried them on my cat twice now and it really calms him and relaxes him.Ideal for an anxious pet or if taking him to the vets.Also really easy to use, open the caplet and sprinkle on some food!

I saw this by chance and thought I’d try it for my 11 year old cat who keeps overgrooming she was making her skin sore. Just after a few days I noticed a difference in how calm she was. As you can see from the photo her fur has started to grow back she is less anxious all round. So pleased I found this it has worked wonders and I am so grateful it’s helped my cat so much.

Having tried previous other methods such as pheromones with little to no visible result, I discovered these. The reviews were very good and helpful, so decided to try some on our 16yr old boy who had started to become more vocal during the day, and especially during the night over the last month. He also suffers from night terrors (he’s a rescue and had this since we adopted him). We found they didn’t work straight away on our boy, as it took a couple of consecutive days of giving the powder mixed in with some of his favourite treat tube paste (I would recommend emptying the capsule into a ceramic cat bowl first, place the treat paste on the top, then slowly mix together with the end of a spoon handle making sure all the powder is properly mixed with the paste - we often then give our boy the chance to lick the spoon which he happily obliges).He’s certainly become less yowly, especially at night, and he seems much calmer in himself, but still wants to play, so it’s not like he’s majorly zonked out. After giving them for just over week now, we’ve discovered that we don’t necessarily have to give him a capsule every day. We just go by what kind of night he’s had the night before, and how he is the next day ie. How many times did he wake up during the night singing the song of his people. There’s no smell to them, and the capsules are large enough (and easy enough) to pull apart and empty. They may seem expensive, but they really do work, and I can highly recommend them.I will say excessive meowing in senior cats can be a sign of underlying health conditions, so we are getting him checked at the vet’s with tests just to make sure, but it also can just be an age thing. These are no substitute for getting your cat checked at the vets, but they really have calmed our boy down. Half his tests have come back perfectly fine so far, just waiting on the others as I type this review (I will update it accordingly once we have those), and hoping it’s just an age thing so will continue to purchase these.

Not sure they actually work. Not really don't much for my boys

My cat was over grooming and had several bald patches. I did take her to the vet to make sure there was no physical reasons for this before I started her on these capsules. I also showed them to the vet, just to be on the safe side.The treatment is working, it's a slow process but I can see definite positive changes and her hair is growing back

This is a pack of 40 gel capsules containing a calming powder. What I like about it is that you can pull open the capsule and sprinkle the powder into your cats good. I wouldn't be able to get my cat to invest a whole capsule, frankly, it's a case of don't try this at home! But stirred into food, it's much better. I have an elderly cat and I give him a dose when he is feeling a bit fraught, or if he has stiffness or pain. It doesn't ease that but makes it better to get other meds into him. Also, one of my other cats gets stressed by neighbouring toms, so this is a great help. Recommended.

was skeptical about these working on my cats but they did

We have a cat that is chased by our two siamese cats despite them growing up with him. I tried these but didn't see much of a difference in the main antagonists behaviour, but he shouted less and stopped slapping my husband so much. I should point out he adores my husband but likes to swipe his face if he's not talking directly to him when he's being carried. So the tablets helped help him with his insecurity just not his aggression.

40 capsules of 100mg L-Tryptophan in plastic resealable bag.Each capsule contains white powder. It can be mixed with food or water.This amino acid is known to be helpful with pets behaviour without the concern of side effects.So far I noticed very mild calming effects.Definitely worth to try

My cat, who was born feral, has been increasingly aggressive over the last year, since she was freaked out, by my friend's children. She's bit me, attacked me, and scratched me badly.She's also been incredibly affectionate, so only aggressive when she's been anxious, but that was a number of times, every single day. It was scary.Vets were not too helpful, just saying she's probably stressed.Having been on these for a month, she's so much calmer, happier, and the aggression has slowly calmed down.It's so good to see her happy again, rolling in the floor with joy, and no longer constantly uptight. Bless her.I will keep her on this dosage for a few more weeks, and all being well, will gently wean her onto another supplement, with a lower dose, which can be given permanently.I will keep this in stock, to give a boost, if/when she needs it.This supplement has literally saved us both. My cats life - and my sanity.

Does work with nervous cats

Have as yet to use it, reputable looking company and am sure it will work.

Although the supplement comes in capsule form, it is easy to apply by pulling apart the capsule and sprinkling it on his food. There was no issue with him eating the food, and this is a nice easy way to apply it, and also to measure out our exact quantity. I have been using it now for a while and I do notice it has had a subtle calming effect on him. For just over £10 with the current product Page voucher it does represent very good value for money. Certainly want to consider.

I give my cat one of these if he is having a mad day and it does calm him, he usually doses off for a couple of hours. If you twist the capsule you can shake the powder out to mix with his food otherwise I don't think a cat would swallow it.

I have used many many calming supplements over the years and this is the only one I can say definitely works. It's a flavourless powder that you mix in to food. There's quite a lot of the powder but I mix it in well with "dreamy creamy". It's turned my cat in to a friendly chilled friendly cat. For some reason it's now saying "unavailable" when I try to purchase more here in Ireland. The company who sell this in the UK are perplexed by this and have contacted Amazon. I hope this problem is sorted soon! So does my cat!!!

As an owner of a very neurotic cat, this has been a game changer. One capsule a day either morning or evening and she’s calmer and slightly more chilled than I’ve ever seen her. She used to terrorise my other cat, as long as she takes this she can stay in the same room, accept the odd sniff and doesn’t yowl the house down. Will continue to purchase as not sure I can cope without now! Have previously used feliway (even the extra strong versions) and they made no difference. Easy to hide in food if you have wet food, just mix powder in and they don’t even notice.

Had to write a review for this, my cat has had me up the wall with worry, a new large male cat moved in a couple of doors away about a month ago and picked on my cat, you could hear the fights at night suddenly my cat started over grooming and was getting no sleep and was very distressed... Needed to do something, I opened one of these caps and put it in her food... About an hour later she jumped on my lap stopped grooming and fell into a deep blissfull sleep she hasn't done that for weeks...so It could ONLY be this that helped her nerves.. Very pleased with it

I got these for my 10 year old female cat. We have a boisterous 2 year old dog who is going through abit of a teenager stage, and the stress was really putting the cat out of sorts. She was starting to self isolate in one bedroom of the house, over grooming her belly, would no longer come downstairs and when she did, would be running as fast as she could in and out. Which did not help the dogs response, causing him to chase her (stuck in a cycle of behaviours that weren't helping either of them). I brought these on an off chance they would work, and after a month of her having them progress is being made! The overgrooming has stopped, her affectionate side is coming back, she's actually starting to come back downstairs and being in the same room as him too which is a huge improvement! It took a little while to see any progress but I'm glad I've stuck with it as it truly has helped the situation. But it's almost like it's calmed her down enough that she doesn't get scared and bolt, and because she's no longer doing that, the dog isn't interested in chasing her anymore. So overall I recommend, I'd also say to give these a while to take effect too (alot of reviews said they noticed a difference instantly, I personally didn't straight away and I'm glad I stuck with them so don't give up instantly if you find it doesn't help right away).

Really happy with results so far. My girl is alot more relaxed, definitely has had a calming effect but also seeing a more playful side to her. She seems alot more happy overall.

I only used half of content and it made my cat drowsy which is what I wanted to stop him harming himself. Wouldn't use normally.

I have 3 male cats who fight despite being neutered. One is a little sensitive and he had a urinary blockage so he’s been on Cystophan since then which works like a dream, never had another urinary health problem with him (still peeing outside his box occasionally but as long as he’s healthy) - fingers crossed. One of the ingredients in Cystophan is l-tryptophan so I did my research and found how helpful it is for stress and anxiety in cats. So I bought this one which pretty much works, I mix it in the other two cats’ wet food and they don’t seem bothered by it, eating their food as usual. They do look a lot calmer, one of them is slowly getting his confidence back which is so good to see, and the other became a little more affectionate which feels weird as he’s one of those grumpy ones but I’m still glad to see. The grumpy one is still a little aggressive as in he’s chasing the others, blocking them and not allowing them to use the litter boxes but without this he’d be worse so maybe in time it’ll get even better. It takes time, I’ve been using it for months now but it’s definitely better since using this so will continue using it.
