Can this be used with cats? My cat was recently diagnosed and I'm new to all of this. Thanks.

Ah, it is totally different for pets and you would have to consult your vet.

My vet said he doesn't know why human blood sugar monitors can't be used on pets, but they don't work properly. He said they tested some, and the readings were 50 - 70 points off from where the pet-calibrated monitors were.

I had a diabetic cat and I used a "human" blood glucose meter. I can't imagine why you couldn't use this one or any other, though getting one that uses the smallest blood drop possible will help. You take the blood from their ears. Just make sure you understand what is high sugar for a cat; the numbers are different than for humans as I recall. I'm sure the numbers are online somewhere or your vet could tell you. There are a bunch of YouTube videos on how to take a cat's blood sugar reading: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=blood+glucose+meter+cat&oq=blood+glucose+meter+cat&gs_l=youtube.12..0l5j0i5l5.66.14454.0.20015.8.2.0.0.0.0.15480.15480.9-1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.WYxeeEWjtEo Also see http://www.sugarcats.net/sites/harry/bgtest.htm

I've never heard of someone using it on a cat but I don't see how it could hurt. The name of the product is even listed as PET shampoo on my page. There is no medication in the shampoo. If it was a flea shampoo I would say absolutely no. Hope it works out for you. This is the best shampoo I've found.

Hi--I've been using this for years, and I think it works much better as a preventative than as a "cure," which sounds like what you are looking for. If your cat has dental problems, then a veterinary cleaning is probably necessary. If there is infection involved, then the vet should be involved.

YOU could certainly give it a try, but it only works for a limited time after you spray it. For more consistent distribution of the fermones to calm them, get Comfort Zone plug in with Feliway, also at Amazon; it disburses the calming chemicals 24/7. There is still no guarantee - I have an older, larger cat that totally intimidated a younger one that I brought into the house, & even though the old one stopped her actions, the younger one still acts as though he is persecuted by her. My vet says sometimes this just never changes, & there is always an alpha . Sorry you're having this problem.

Depends on cat's druthers. Do what you think would work and see if kitty approves. Sounds like a good idea. You wouldn't believe the never-ending things I do trying to make my cat comfortable.

I would imagine so, it's formulated for smaller animals with extremely sensitive skin, so it should be fine for a cat, especially if your kitty has sensitive skin.

I just looked at my label and it doesn't say anything about using it on cats. Cats lick themselves much more than dogs do. If you're going to use it on a cat, it might be best to get as much of the product off the cat as you can. I'd wipe the cat down with a damp cloth after spraying and detangling.

Interesting question... We have a cat but I've never had issue to use it. I can only say that I will try it for that situation should it happen.

Yes. The dilution of the oils in this is perfectly safe for your cats. You never want to use straight up essential oils on any pet (or yourself), but when mixed properly, as this product is, it is safe. I have used it on all our cats, repeatedly, with no ill effects. They hate it, but it smells nice and our flea problem is virtually non existent after about 3 applications to the cats and house.

I have only ever given this to our dogs. Cats are a whole different story. I would assume a syringe would be your best bet. It's supposed to be 'flavored', but that doesn't mean anything to cats. :)

It says it can be used on cats, but due to other reviews I was hesitant to use it on my three cats. What I ended up doing was putting the liquid in a bowl and dipping a flea comb in it and then combing their fur. This seemed to work and I had no problems with my cats. I hope this helps.

I don't know if it works with cats, I have a cat also and never try to use it with her. (she seems to listen only to my oldest Sheltie). I don't see why it wouldn't its just a loud pssting sound there's no contract with the animal. I use the spray because it's the only thing I found to help with the barking. I have 3 Shelties and their herders and Bark at the drop of a hat. This is the only thing I've found that helps control the barking. Hope I help answer your question.

To be honest with you I never saw any difference in my cats behavior. However all cats do not react the same to stimulants. My opinion would be to give it a try as a treat for positive reinforcement when the dog is in the room.

It doesn't say anything about cats on the bottle, but I have seen a few websites and reviews that mention it being safe for cats. Personally, I have found this to be a very gentle product and I would feel safe trying it on a cat. Maybe use it on one area to make sure there's no reaction first?

Bites are very serious for cats, I wish I could say yes to vibactra. I don't think it is potent enough. We have had problems with a cat who was previously I'll, we ended up at the vets . However if you think the cat you are helping is healthy , vibactra may help in your case. If you can handle the cat , the best thing we have done in the past was to clean the wound with peroxide daily ,until you see improvement. It is very effective. I hope this helps you.

I think it could work for a cat because it works based off of the vibration of their vocal chords; for instance, my husband tested it on himself before putting it on our dog. If you were in doubt and want your cat to be able to yowl at his leisure while you're not around, they do make collars that respond instead to a remote control on which you press a button to correct a behavior.

Hi Patricia, thank you for your question. We are truly sorry we could not respond to it earlier. The product is not harmful to cats over time and we recommend to use it on a daily basis as directed. Some animals can however react differently to different products, therefore if any problems occur, consult your veterinarian.
