My cat is grieving the loss of my husband and her best friend. She is pulling her hair out in chunks. Any suggestions.

I would try a dual approach. Use these Vetri-science Composure treats. In addition I would suggest getting a Feliway diffuser and plugging it in to help calm your grieving kitty.

We are very pleased with Vetri-Science Composure Feline. We give it to our cat now on an as needed basis, though in the beginning we would give it to her twice a day. She was at first very hyper and grooming herself excessively. This calmed her down, and she has stopped the excessive grooming completely. I would always want to have it on hand now.

These did seem to help my cat with his over grooming. He definitely cut down. Ultimately, it was not enough for him to stop and he had to be on anxiety medications to completely get over it. You may also want try those pheromone collars or sprays. They seemed to help too.

My cat lost hair around her neck and down her chest. She had a chemical burn. Luckily, she has fully recovered. The vet recommended I use Dr. Bachs Rescue Remedy for storm anxiety. Please speak to your vet before using any product...it's a lesson I learned the hard way!

Be very careful with this one.....My cat got too close and was sucked up into the vacuum....I can hear him purring but we can't get him out

Around twice a week, my cat sheds a lot and I have bad allergies that I need to keep under control.

Many thanks for this post - I'll be very curious to see how your cat reacts to the pet potty. My cat is old, hates all the other cats, and doesn't share anything - we have, it seems, much the same situation. Good luck!

All my plugins are down low. I have one in the dining room / living room. I do have another plugin but that one seems to serve the purpose. I feel it really helps keep the cats calm, wouldn't be without it.

I had the same problem with my 2 cats. It helped my male cat to calm down and stopped the biting after wearing the collar for one day. So I ordered more collars so my female cat can wear it to help her with stress. Unfortunately my female cat had a severe allergic reaction to the collar, she ended up with a swollen mouth and her hair around the neck fell off. We had to rush her to the vet and they had to wash her with Dawn to get rid of the chemicals. I decided to take off the collar on the male cat and ordered the Feliway diffuser. So far the diffuser seems to work well, both cats are calm and the male cat does not chase nor bite the female cat. I had the same problem with my 2 cats.

I don't think this would be the best choice to for your cat, although I imagine you could use it. There are tools better adapted for deshedding cats, I think. Furminator or Furblaster might do better. They're both available at Amazon. I did a quick search for furminator cats and got a variety of tools that would work for you. Good luck.

It should help but in my case, my cat kept trying to scratch around his neck with his rear legs and his claws eventually (a couple of days) punctured the bladder.

I would suggest the long haired FURminator. I have two cats, one short haired and another more medium with a really thick undercoat, and I sometimes feel like I should have gotten the long to use on both.

I have a cat that is presently shedding. Its very difficult to remove the car hair from the sheets by just brushing. Washing in a washing machine with warm water removes all/any excess hair.

I found that the cat(s) experience is so disturbing, they avoid the area it was on. You may initially need to re-train by putting it back on now & then...but not often.

get some lense cleaner and a soft cloth, spray the cloth lightly, rub softly. Get a mask for the cat, available at Amazon.com:-)

Stop in at a Petsmart. They usually have a Vet at Banfield and would probably advise you about the product for cats, or you could call Proden directly.

Glad you asked. This has been mentioned with other products. My cat used to cry when I just got the rice cooker off the shelf.

I now it is gross to deal with, but when my cat coughs up a hairball, before I clean it with the machine, I use a paint/scraper spatula and scrape it up onto a paper plate to discard. Less cumbersome and yucky as paper towels and gets up more stuff. Try it.
