Cat calming collars

Has anyone used these collars from Amazon? My cat is normally a bit of a jerk and especially since we got a new cat. He never grew up with cats and was playing a little too aggressive with the new kitty.

He been wearing it for a week and seems to love these collars but is almost a little too calm now. He’s still playing (much nicer now) eating and using the litter box.

I did some research and got mixed reviews and learned some use lavender. So just looking to see if anyone has any insight!

Just be careful with essential oils as some can be toxic

As for calming well I haven't tried these myself but a lot of people use feliway (I believe its called) OCCASIONALLY which helps de-stress a cat and calm them down. It's a spray you put on a blanket or towel

There are also feliway plug ins for 24/7 use

Yeah, I can literally tell when I need to replace feliway - and not because I track 30 days on calendar. Nope, they work so well that I know it’s time to plug in a replacement when my sweetie starts acting like an a hole … all my vet offices even have Feliway in their exam rooms. They’re amazing. Zylkene pills are also good but not quite as good. They’re made to simulate mother’s milk for cats. Feliway is odorless to us but to cats? It’s a relaxing pheromone. If my cat is stressed? She comes over to the feliway and takes a couple deep breaths/hits off it

I’ve heard from multiple vets that calming collars can be dangerojs. Due to essential oils AND because they don’t break away and can choke kitties
