How my anxious cat Mao helped me help yours ❤️

I need to tell you about ‘Mao’, my own cat, because her story might sound eerily similar to yours.
Mao has always been what I'd politely call "a worrier." When guests came over, she'd vanish under the bed. If someone walked into the same room, she'd bolt. But things got worse when a neighbourhood cat started terrorising her through the window and she started toileting on the rug and withdrawing from us completely.
As a cat vet with 25 years of experience, I knew these were classic signs of feline anxiety. The hiding, inappropriate urination, social withdrawal - I see these behaviours daily. Many cat parents don't realise that changes in toileting habits, excessive grooming, or becoming clingier (or distant) can all be signs their cat is struggling with stress.
Here's what frustrated me most: I tried everything I'd typically recommend. Feline pheromone diffusers? Nope. Various supplements? Nothing worked because they were all just rebranded dog or human supplements - not formulated for cats' unique physiology.
Most "cat" supplements are simply dog supplements in different packaging. But cats process nutrients completely differently. Their liver metabolism, digestive system, even stress response pathways are unique. I was watching my own cat suffer because there genuinely wasn't a science-backed, cat-specific option available.
This is the exact conversation I was having with countless cat parents. "What else can we try before medication?" they'd ask. Honestly? I didn't have a good answer because nothing on the market was actually designed for cats.
That's when I decided to dig deep into research specifically conducted with cats. I spent months reviewing clinical trials, examining ingredients that work with feline physiology, and understanding how cats uniquely process stress.
The breakthrough came when I discovered how Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) works in cats' brains to block stress signals, combined with L-theanine and L-tryptophan to support healthy serotonin production. Add in cat-specific prebiotics for the gut-brain connection and brain-health-supporting omega-3s, and I had something entirely new.
Mao became my first patient! Within days, I noticed something remarkable. She didn't disappear when visitors dropped by. She actually stayed in the living room - not hiding, not stressed, just herself, but calmer.
The toileting issues stopped completely. She started seeking out family time again. And she wasn't sedated or "zonked out" - she was still Mao, just without the overwhelming anxiety.
That was my "aha" moment. This wasn't just another supplement - this was a game-changer.
Since then, I've watched this same transformation happen with many of my patients. Cats who've tried everything else, just like Mao had.
If you're reading this thinking "this sounds like my cat," you're not alone, and you haven't run out of options.
Anxiety+ contains those same science-backed ingredients that helped Mao, formulated at precise doses that clinical trials show actually work in cats. It's fast-acting, delicious, and supports your cat's natural ability to cope with stress.
Most importantly? It's created specifically for cats, by someone who understands both the science and the heartbreak of watching your beloved cat struggle.
