    Kalm Aid - anyone used it?

    hi y'all!

    has anyone used Kalm Aid for their MCs?
    Amazon.co.uk: kalm aid: Kitchen & Home

    I'm thinking in tablets - does it work well? is there any danger whatsoever that you know of?

    Young pirate is going to the cattery for the first time, so I'm worried about repercussions if she's all anxious and high strung...

    thanks
    Alekto

    That is one I haven't ever heard of,what I have used for Shimba when he was travel sick going to shows & stressing was a product calle Zylkene & that worked really well,can go anywhere now no problem,it is also herbal.
    You will most probaly be surprised how well your girl copes with the cattery though,the people who run them are normally as cat mad as the owners & give the individual cats the time they need,mine luv going to ours,we open their baskets & they go look for their pens & that is it.....

    thanks a million! I'll try Zylkene I think - oh that's quite reassuring! Hopefully she'll surprise me in a good way.

    See, MCs are supposed to be very social and easygoing with strangers, mine isn't- she gets into hissy fits when someone she doesn't know comes into her territory - but I noticed she's surprisingly calm when going to the vet's - sometimes dogs come to say hello at the door of her box and she doesn't really react. So, I'm ready for a surprise, good or bad!

    I feel very guilty (already) and anxious myself because we're going to have to leave her for 3 weeks! So if it's bad, it's bad for 3 weeks!
    And she's still behaving a bit peculiar since her op... She's had all the symptoms of giving birth, and her hormones are still out of whack...

    Chose the cattery very carefully though - quite happy with the one we found, that leaves cats play outside of their pens (but inside the building) when humanz are around - and you're quite right, the guy there seems to be cat-mad! Even dresses up as Santa for them and distributes presents at Christmas - Although dressing up as Santa for the cats is not a requirement, I find it oddly reassuring. ;-)

    anyway, thanks for that!

    Please no tablets: stress is a normal element in his life, he has to learn to live with it.Stress allows animals to survive in difficult situations.Don't pamper nor humanize them , they deserve a natural education.
    Don"t project your fears on them, they feel it

    I think if the person who runs the cattery dresses up as santa you don't have many problems there Alekto,two of mine have special games with the husband when they go to the cattery,luckily they are in different pens {with six they are grouped in threes}or he reckons he wouldn't know which one to give the attention too first as they both have completely different things they want to play,one is quite physical & the other includes an awful lot of headbutts.....
    Having worked at a vets for an awful lot of years can't wholly agree with "no tablets",yes I agree that we can transfer stress levels to our animals but I have seen stress at such levels that the animal,especially cats,self harm,if by giving a bit of help be it herbal {I also don't agree in giving drugs just for the sake of giving them}then that is the way to go,if it allays the fears of that problem many times the animal overcomes it & has a lot easier life,we have humanised them,we have domesticated them to be our pets....wouldn't entertain a wild cat or dog in my house.......
