Hello to all who've stopped by!
I've been a cat lover my whole life – my mom's always had them at home, and I think I've inherited that love.
My husband and I have our own pair of mischievous cats, and let me tell you, there's a moment when the female cat starts meowing like a demon, rolling around like a ragdoll, and demanding the male cat.
We've been trying to regulate their mating behavior for years now, and I'm excited to share our experience with you.

The drops come in a cardboard box with a cute cat design.
I got the Universal drops for cats and females, which had different images on the packaging.
There's plenty of information on the packaging, but I won't include the photos since mine arrived with some damage and stickers.
Inside, you'll find a small plastic tube.
It has all the application information duplicated on it.
There's a protective cap and a convenient nozzle for dosing.
The liquid drops have a water-like consistency, no scent, and a light yellowish tint.Safety Composition
water, lucerne seed, flaxseed, melissa, hop cones, passionflower, nutmeg, valerian, kelp, sorbic acid
We had three cats, two kittens, and a cat, but this summer my Bagera went to the rainbow, and now we have Fila and Shkoda.
Our cats aren't spayed, and they consistently start roaming around New Year's and May.
They're home cats, and we once took them to the village for a while, but that was a last resort – they don't usually go outside.
Our cat isn't neutered either, I'm not sure why, but Fila can't mark her territory, which is why her fluffy balls are still with her.
Five years ago, we decided to try special drops to reduce their mating behavior.
We consulted with a vet, and they told us that there are mainly two types of drops: hormonal and non-hormonal.
The former are more effective but can have side effects, while the latter are safer but less effective – we chose the latter.
I read a lot of information online to find affordable and effective drops.
My cats would start roaming around with a one-week gap, except for one who would calm down, and the other would start a concert.
It was really stressful, especially since I was working remotely at the time, on phone calls, and in conversations with clients – I'd be on calls, and then these meows would start, you know?
Given our long-term experience with the drops and two cats, I'll start by describing how our older Bagera behaved after taking the drops.
When I first bought the medication, I wondered how to give it to my pet.
The manufacturer says it's okay to mix it with food, so I decided to try adding it to Felix's packet.
I knew Bageri's weight, so I measured out the right amount with a teaspoon and mixed it with her food on a plate.
She ate it all up without noticing a thing, I guess the drops really don't have any taste.
I started giving her the drops as soon as I noticed the first signs of 'heat', and I kept going for 16 days.
To be honest, I think that's way too long, and one bottle definitely wouldn't last that long.
I end up buying two bottles at a time, one for each cat, and just give them to her until the drops run out - that's usually around a week.
The non-hormonal drops are based on calming herbs, and they don't work for all cats, unfortunately that was the case with Bageri.
I wouldn't say there was no effect at all, but it wasn't what I was expecting either.
She didn't ask to go outside as much, and she'd just lounge around on the floor and calm down.
No side effects to speak of, her behavior was the same, and her health was fine too.
Now, let me tell you about Shkoda (I'm not kidding, that's her name, and she was the devil in my childhood)
This is my younger cat, Bageri's daughter, and it looks like she's inherited her mother's gullibility - they both start going into heat at the same time.
Shkoda won't eat wet food, so I have to mix the medication with milk to give it to her - they drink it up happily, but I have to keep an eye out so my other cat doesn't get any.
When my cat gets into the heat, the whole house goes crazy - it's like a wild animal making a racket, running around on the floor, and lifting its tail.
It's usually at night when I'm trying to sleep, and I often think, 'What if humans behaved like this too...'
I started to notice the effects on the second day, after giving her two doses a day - half a dose in the morning and half before bed.
By the evening of the second day, she wasn't as desperate for attention, and by the fourth day, she was completely calm and didn't need the cat anymore.
I wouldn't recommend stopping the treatment mid-course, because the attraction could come back - we've experienced it before.
My cats always go into heat at the same time every year, and I always buy the spray in advance, but one time I forgot and the cat started acting up again after just three days.
I didn't notice any side effects or changes in her health either.
For myself, I've identified some pros
• Affordable price
• Easy-to-use dispenser, easy to apply
• Can be mixed with food
• No taste or smell
• Acts quickly, but not on all cats
• Effect occurs quickly
• No side effects, non-hormonal
There are also a couple of cons
• One bottle won't be enough for a full course
• Doesn't work on all cats
I'm currently only left with one cat, and the spray is working on her, so I'll continue to use it.
I like the quick results, because we don't want to put up with these performances.
I've used this brand's spray for cats before, but I didn't understand it - the cats start wanting the other cat when they're in heat, not just when they feel like it, so you need to give it to both animals at the same time.
I've also tried the Universal Drops, and I really liked them.
I don't always have time in the morning to make sure my cat doesn't drink the milk with her medication, but with these drops, I don't have to worry.
The drops are definitely my preference, as long as they don't harm her, which they haven't.
However, they don't work for every cat, so it's worth checking.
