Calming L-Tryptophan for Cats

Does work with nervous cats

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.

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.

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

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.
