  • Yeah, yeah, yeah Thundershirt
Gus-Gus is the end of a long line of farm cats. She's adorable but has some pretty significant behavioral quirks. Her family tree is a telephone pole, if you know what I'm saying. When she was a kitten we took her out of the farm my husband was raised on and gave her a life of unimaginable kitty luxury. We suffered her sweet dumbness and personal space issues gladly lo these many years, though sadly as she reaches her old age (14) she has developed kitty dementia and random bouts of extreme separation anxiety. And by separation anxiety I include scenarios such as this: Gus-Gus gets off of your lap and walks around the corner of the room and then, completely alarmed by your sudden and inexplicable total disappearance from this earth, delves into epic bouts of operatic screaming and howling. Nothing helped this increasingly bizarre and frustrating behavior. All night long, the screaming. We tried putting her in her own little room but she ended up rubbing all the fur off of half her face. Kitty Valium just made her stoned and screamy. We were at our wits end. So I got the Thundershirt and steeled myself for both the mockery of non-middle aged childless crazy cat lady people and the surely inevitable dissapointment of yet another failed attempt to calm Gus-Gus. I put the shirt on her. It was extremely easy to figure out how to get it on her. She took a few wobbly steps and the laid down on her side. She started purring, and then drooling, which is what she does when she is happy, because she's not weird enough. I left it on for an hour maybe and took it off. The next night, a few hours. Every bit of weird behavior stopped instantly with the shirt on. Ever since then we have a little routine.... Around dusk she starts getting twitchy and howly. I take out the shirt. She makes a half-hearted attempt to run away. I start by fastening it around the chest. I make sure it's not too loose or too snug. She gives in after that and I snug her up, at which point she becomes the most chill, happy, laid back cat of all time. No more anxiety, no more screaming, no more sitting on your head and licking your face with disturbingly intense affection. Just..... Gus-Gus, the Thunder Cat. I was caught Listening to my stupid cat (THUNDER) I looked round And I knew there was no turning back (THUNDER) My mind raced And I thought what could I do (THUNDER) And I knew There was help, in something new (THUNDER) Sound of the meows Beatin' in my heart The thunder of Gus Tore me apart You've been - THUNDER GUS Oh Thunder Gus, yeahhhhhhhh ... show more

  • It actually works for an anxiety ridden animal
Size: Medium (9 to 13 lbs)
I adopted a senior cat and he was scared of someone sighing loud. Literally any sound or movement sent him on a 1st class trip to Africa. Smh. But after getting him into the vest (which is almost impossible because it’s a cat), he’s been confident and laying belly up in the middle of the living room. I don’t know this guy anymore. He owns the place now. I have to address him by his first name Tom now instead of fat daddy. Smh ... show more

  • Thunder Shirt is Saving My Sanity and My Cat is so CALM and STOPPED YOWLING all the time
Size: Large ( > 13 lbs)
My large Siberian Wonder Fuffy-pants has always been a yowler. I have tried everything, including drugs. Working at home during the pandemic, he screams and screams and screams at me to take him for a walk, get him a snack, pay him attention, while I try to work. He rarely sleeps and does not eat much. He yowls several times per night until I wake up and yell at him to shut up. This is a photo of him sleeping happily in his Thundershirt at 2 pm - a time he would NEVER sleep and NEVER let me work unless I lock him in the bathroom downstairs. He has now slept through four nights in a row in his Thundershirt. So have I. I am at my computer working while he sleeps. I have not been able to do that since I used to go to coffee shops to get some work done in peace and quiet. I am ordering another so I can alternate and wash them. I have tried so many things and this is the only one that made an immediate and appreciable difference. Plus he is now eating regular meals and sometimes he is just quiet while he is awake, just looking around and not yowling. ... show more

  • Three teenage kitten/cat siblings — Thundershirt is the key to our cat-parenting (and my own sanity's) success!
Failed-foster parent to three feline siblings here. Our guys were barely four-weeks-old when we first brought them home and very sick. Fast forward two years: they're now enormous and highly active, Siberian-mix cats… and an oft-naughty trio! Over these past couple years, Thundershirts have helped (and continue to help) us with myriad, feline behavioral issues. The first Thundershirt, we bought in hopes of quelling our girl, Tawny's, extreme vocalization issue — which was SO loud and persistent, we honestly worried about disturbing our condo neighbors. Fortunately, Tawny took to the Thundershirt like a fish in water! Not only did it succeed in completely calming her down / shushing her up… she lovvvves that shirt so much, she actually *prances* around when it's on (no kidding). Our boy cat, Raymond, went through a very long period (1+ year) of self-suckling and suckling his sisters' fur. We tried every, possible recommended cure — including getting him a stuffed animal buddy with a mechanical heartbeat and internal warmer. Then, we bought a second Thundershirt for Raymond, fingers-crossed… and success again! It wasn't long before Raymond went from constant-suckle-mode to once/twice-per-day, then eventually stopped altogether. Our third cat, Polly, although gregarious and confident when at home, was *terrified* of unfamiliar people — not to mention being taken even two steps outside our door… say, to the vet. I'm talking: yowls so intense, one might wonder if the animal was being tortured. Needless to say, we felt as horrible subjecting Polly to such fright, as likely she did to enduring it! Two months ago, during a sibling-on-sibling Wrestlemania, Polly's retina was scratched. Waking up to find her eye swollen shut, we needed to get her to the vet… hopefully, with as little drama as possible, on the day before a long car trip. With Raymond's Thundershirt on, plus hope and a prayer, we loaded Polly into her carrier without a fight… in fact, during the entire trip to the vet, Polly only made but one small peep! So, we bought Polly her own Thundershirt, and now we have three (one for each cat). Also, the Thundershirts have helped to quash other, various misbehavior patterns: from bouts of jumping everywhere they aren't allowed and pawing like maniacs at the food/treats cabinet, to midnight racing sessions, and beyond. Certainly, there are animals who don't/won't respond to the Thundershirt with the same about of luck. But, for our three guys, they have been key to many a cat-parenting success. The only negative pieces of feedback I have, when taken in proportion to success rate, don't demerit a full star… but maybe a half a star: 1) The stitching which secures the velcro is spotty, especially in the two shirts we bought more recently. 2) The velcro itself is a little too grippy (again, the first vest we bought was closer to optimal) 3) It seems the fabric has gotten much thinner/flimsier than the first vest we bought… which paired with the new, extra-grippy velcro, makes for sometimes a difficult untangle to put the Thundershirt on (as well as a harder time taking it off). For reference, our cats weigh about the following amounts and have the following sized shirts: Tawny: ~13 pounds, hefty-build, long and very dense fur (size: Large) Raymond: ~12 pounds, masculine-build, long and dense fur (size: Large) Polly: ~11.5 pounds, skinny-but-long build, very long but thin fur (size: Medium) ... show more
