Highlighted Reviews

— PomMom/ 5 found helpful

"I brought this product about a week or two ago to see if it would help make the moving transition easier on my 13 year old cat. I have the sentry calming spray and that seemed to work so I figured why not."

— Donna

"Didn’t calm anything. Not worth the money and will not buy again."

Bottom Line

Consider this diffuser if you’re open to trying calming aids for your cat, but be prepared for potentially mixed results. The smell is pleasant, but the actual calming effect and durability vary significantly among users.
