Feline Soothing & Calming — Relax, Reset, Cope

Help your cat feel safe during fireworks, storms, visitors, travel or routine changes. Curated by Canine & Co for South African homes, this collection brings together pheromone aids, calming chews/gels, sprays & diffusers, and low-arousal enrichment so you can build a simple, effective calm routine.

What you’ll find

• Pheromone diffusers, sprays & collars: Create a reassuring “safe scent” at home or on the move.
• Calming chews, gels & liquids: Feline-friendly blends (e.g., L-theanine, L-tryptophan, magnesium, chamomile) for everyday stressors.
• Travel calm: Carrier covers, spray minis and absorbent pads for vet days and road trips.
• Enrichment for relaxation: Lick mats, puzzle feeders and foraging toys that promote settled focus.
• Comfort dens & beds: Snug hideaways and blankets to create predictable rest spots.

Pick by situation

• Noise (thunder, fireworks): Start diffuser 24–48 hrs ahead; use calming gel 30–60 min before; provide a covered den.
• Visitors or routine changes: Pheromone spray on beds/entry points; lick mat in a quiet room.
• Travel & vet days: Spray carrier 15–30 min before loading; add a soft cover and a lightweight harness for transfers.
• Multi-cat tension: Diffuser in shared spaces; duplicate bowls, beds and trays; add vertical perches.
• New home/introductions: Set up a safe room first; open access gradually with scent-swaps.

Build a calm routine

• Pre-load calm: Offer a calming chew/gel 30–60 min before known triggers.
• Make a safe zone: Quiet room, hideaway bed, water and litter nearby; dim lights and play soft sound.
• Low-arousal enrichment: Short wand play → puzzle feeder or lick mat → rest.
• Consistency: Keep feeding, play and sleep times predictable during stressful periods.

Use safely

• One change at a time: Introduce a single product and monitor for 1–2 weeks.
• Dose by weight & label: Follow product guidelines; store tightly closed and out of sunlight.
• Vet advice: If anxiety is severe or persistent (hiding, not eating, aggression), consult your vet or a qualified behaviourist.
