She and the other cats kinda-sort get along, but I&#8217;m sensing a lot of stress.   Griz makes &#8216;Mo very nervous.  All she does is try to stand near him and he trembles, growls and then runs off.  Then, she follows him. <\/p>\n<p>She doesn&#8217;t attack him, but I think poor &#8216;Mo could use some calming.  <\/p>\n<p>I read cat pheromones can help remedy this, but I haven&#8217;t tried them. Have any of you cat lovers given them a try?   (I&#8217;m not sure I trust online reviews. Who knows who posted them?)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if anyone can give me a very strong endorsement, I&#8217;m going to buy a whole three pack so I can use them in the kitchen, family room and the upstairs bedroom.  I sort of figure that calming for 2 months is probably long enough to get the cats over this period. <\/p>\n<p>If no-one knows if this works, I&#8217;m just going to try a one pack and see if the cats get calm in the kitchen where we feed them.  It seems worth a try.   (There are also assorted collars, various other sprays etc. But all products are sufficiently pricey that I hesitate to buy everything.  If anyone has good experiences with the collars, I might put on on Grizelda. She&#8217;s the new cat and having her emit calming pheromones everywhere she goes might not be a bad thing.  BTW: As usual, when the sample link is an affiliate link. So&#8230; yes, if someone buys, I make money.  That said: I have no idea if this stuff works.  I do plan to buy at least one product and I&#8217;ll let people know.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;Contentious kitties.
