Calming Pheromone Collar
You know those cats—the ones who freak out and destroy the house when left alone. Or dart frantically from room to room, for no apparent reason, as if they see and hear something we humans are clearly missing. Even better—the cat who meows non-stop day and night. Thankfully, there’s help! The feline calming collar—there are several good brands to choose from—replicates the calming pheromones produced by mother cats, a scent your upset kitty will remember. These collars are proven effective at reducing separation anxiety, excessive meowing, marking, and destructive behaviors.

It offers various gentle streams of filtered water at the perfect height for kitty, hydrating him and entertaining him at the same time.
