Cats spraying and Valerian?

[Guest guest]

Hey guys and gals.

 

 

I have a friend who has a lot of cats. I mean a lot of cats. And one of

them is spraying. We've got it boiled down to changes in habit, anxiety and

territorial spraying.

 

We had the changes of habit nipped and the anxiety nipped too. I was

wondering if anyone knew if it would be okay to give the cat some Valerian

tea.

 

(a very tiny bit.) in it's water because he is a very anxious cat and is

still nervous about being abandoned and part of it is that this cat was

rescued and he is emotionally " scarred " from the experience. One day his

humans were there, and then they weren't and he did not go ferral (which I

find completely odd) because most cats that I've seen after being left like

that are perfectly happy on their own. They're like Whoooo hooo.. No

humans let's go partay..

 

This guy is super skittish.

 

So anyone have any Ideas?

 

Jennifer (I've had my share of cats and they usually let you know who's

boss) this guy is not like that.

We often see cat " happy pillows " stuffed with a blend of catnip and valerian. I

don't know about dosage for internal use or use as a tea, but letting them have

at the stuff and roll in and nip at it like catnip doesn't seem to hurt them at

all.

Best thing to do is neuter the cat, usually that stops spraying. If it is

already neutered then one of the other cats is challenging its authority in the

pecking order.

Not much you can do to fix that other than make one of them an outside cat. Cats

don't have the ability to filter herbs and oils out of their systems like dogs

or humans do. You really should talk to an herbal animal specialist before any

thing like that is tried.
