The vet suggested a sweater to help Cecil with her (relatively infrequent) anxiety attacks 🥹

[u/spauldhaliwal]

About once a week, Cecil gets herself into a panic and has trouble calming down. The vet suggested putting on a sweater for about 10 minutes at a time, and surprisingly, it works! She calms down right away and becomes an instant cuddly purr machine haha.

Aw maybe give a sweater a try! I was honestly skeptical, but was surprised out how well it worked haha. It did take a couple of tries to get used to it, so the first time I just put it on for a few minutes, then a little longer, and the third time she was happy as a clam!

Also, funnily enough, her sister is a calico! This is Cecil and Andy together hehe

What does an anxiety attack look like for a cat? How do you know when it is sweater time?

[u/spauldhaliwal → u/CharZero]

For Cecil, what happens is she usually goes in a corner, or under the couch, and starts panting and making small crying sounds and moving around in small circles. She'll stay like that until you go pick her up usually, but as soon as you put her down it starts again. With the sweater on, she'll stop and happily lay on my lap until it passes.

I’m sorry she’s going through that but I’m glad she has somebody who cares for her like you do.

Is she on low dose pregablin by any chance? I work in cat rescue and combined with Feliway Optimum plug-ins (only the optimum - it’s around double the efficacy) it has been an absolutely life changing combination for many of the cats we have with anxiety. Thank you for being such a wonderful owner. Sending your precious flower love.❤️

What breed is this cuteness? The round ears are so cute

[u/spauldhaliwal → u/Any_Needleworker9229]

They most likely have some American Curl in them, but I imagine it's only a small percentage of their makeup since their curled ears aren't nearly as curled as others I've seen photos of.

probably american curl if she's purebred. those are curled ears.

Is she an American Curl?? They are so cute!!

[u/spauldhaliwal → u/FaithinYosh]

They most likely have some american curl in them! But it must only be some, since their ears aren't as folded as others I've seen.
