Thundershirt for Cats, Small

We bought one thundershirt to try for both of our cats. We have two rescue cats who both suffer from anxiety. In particular one of our cats really suffers from any loud noise, the postman scares him and even answering the front door can be a problem. Our other cat suffers from anxiety sepertion and so after trying lots of different techniques, medications and lots of feliway we decide to buy one and see how things went. I must say that I'm absolutely amazed at the results! We have put the shirt on both of our cats twice now and I can't believe the difference. Neither of them attempted to remove the shirts and they became calm instantly. They did walk around strangely for a little while, almost as if they were a bit drunk but this soon resolved. I think it will make a difference to both of them and we will certainly be buying a 2nd!

This did wonders for our stressy cat. Within an hour of having it on, he was a different boy. Completely relaxed. Nothing short of a miracle after trying plug ins and meds with no luck. We're very lucky this suited him and did the trick. Recommended.

I bought this for my rescue with PTSD who paces a lot and often can't settle. It works really well. She doesn't particularly mind wearing it and it is definitely making a big difference. The only thing letting it down is the thinnish fabric on the neck straps which has already ripped because sometimes my cat tries to get those straps off with her fangs. I wish the fabric on those parts was thicker and more durable. Despite this I really recommend it. My cat has been more settled since I started using the Thundershirt on her. 4.5 stars.Update 4 Months later: I had to replace the Velcro on the neck strap with heavy duty Velcro as it kept on coming off. The entire Thundershirt is also bobbly. It still works really well, though, so I will bite the bullet and probably end up buying two new ones per year.

I desperately bought these because I have two cats that fool around like a teenage punk rock concert each night making it impossible for me to sleep and ruining my life.. I was hoping that I could finally get some sleep by putting these thundershirts on the cats, but they simply take off the neck thing and they don't calm down at all!!!I have desperately bought all three sizes to try and find the correct size. The small size is super tiny and will probably only fit kittens, the medium and large one I can fit on each of my two cats, but it's no problem for them to get the neck thing off and they don't calm down!I've been patient and gradually tried to make them used to wearing them for short durations over a couple of days and I have wasted money on buying different sizes of thundershirts to find the correct sizings.. No luck, I must continue to daydream about getting a proper night's sleep.. or get rid of the cats

Used to be good, but newer designs don't last long. Much thinner material, so cat scratches through it and the velcro starts to come undo too. The xs small dog version works better and is cheaper

Absolutely love this for my fur baby, she has major separation anxiety because I am usually at home, so when I leave she frets, chews her fur and get a strange odor.Ordered this after coming home to get in the worst state I’ve seen her and when it arrived the next day put it straight on her for, she was not happy at first but she got used to the feel of it quite fast, after a couple of hours there was a noticeable difference. The next time I went out for a couple of hours I put it on her and when I got home she was much better than usual, no odor and pottering round the house. I have not tried this for longer than a few hours yet but so far so good and I will carry on using it. She likes to be held tight when she is anxious which is why I tried this, we have tried everything else going, feliway, medication, you name it and this is by far the best thing we’ve tried!

As a Vet Nurse I've seen & been aware of the success of Thundershirt for a long time. But first time I used on my own animals. My sister purchased 1 for her terrier for fireworks & car journeys & success was amazing. I bought a cat shirt for my cat with over-grooming behaviour. Cat has often had "jumpers" on at Halloween & Xmas that last about 10seconds. This shirt, I gradually put on her with treats. She tolerates. It calms her down completely & she usually just falls asleep wearing. They still are cats so will act like their legs are affected, which they're not!! and she'll walk in a crouched position. But never cries/meows wearing it. And it def stops her grooming behaviour. As a vet nurse I'll continue to recommend.

Didn't fit cat . I thought cat had put weight on since being measured ,but turns out the shirt is just smaller than expected .Had literally had the item in my possession for 5 minutes and wasn't able to return it for a refund ?No idea why but that's an expensive mistake or size error .I'd suggest getting a bigger size anyways though just incase your pet puts on weight .Update-Ordered a bigger size - it was too big 🙄But that made no difference as with either size on ,cat just fell over and lay there looking at me like I was pure evil .We tried it on the other cat and he did manage to walk around after a few times of falling on his side ,but he was still very off balance . The cat it's actually for has serious anxiety issues ,so this would of been great if it worked instead of medicating the poor guy every day ,but unfortunately it doesn't work . Unless just laying there unable to move is what I wanted .Other reviews say it's great ,so I guess it just depends on your cat . Beware though as you can't return it once purchased !
