INPUT ARTICLE: Article: After the emergency is over, you need to reassess the situation. What in particular set your cat off? If it was a one-time occurrence, such as workers in the house, you can anticipate for next time and put your cat in a quiet room until they leave. If it was a stray cat outside, you can use techniques to rid yourself of stray cats, such as water sprinklers or chemical sprays that deter cats from your yard. If it is a problem that is likely to recur (such as trips in the car, company, thunderstorms) you can take some steps to help your cat better cope with the situation. Pheromones are chemicals released from glands on the cat's bodyface, feet, back and tailthat cats release to communicate with other cats. Certain pheromones, such as those released from the cats face when they rub on objects or their humans, have a calming effect on stressed cats. Scientists have managed to synthesize these chemicals which come in various forms such as collars, sprays, wipes, and plug-in diffusers. There are a few other non-medicated options available to calm an anxious or stressed cat. Essential oils or herbal blends can mimic pheromones and can be tried in place of the synthetic pheromones. Food supplements have also proved helpful to relieve anxiety and stress in cats. The ingredients in these supplements help to support the cat's natural chemical balance to aid in relaxation. They come in liquid, chew and tablet forms. Body wraps (thunder shirts or anxiety wraps) are another non-medication calming aids. These cloth and Velcro wraps wrap around the cat's body and exert gentle pressure on pressure points which aid in calming cats. The principle is similar to swaddling an infant or wrapping the cat into a towel. Not every cat will respond positively to having to wear a wrap or to the pheromones or blends. You may have a period of trial and error to see what response your kitty has to these products. Some cats have a certain chemical makeup that necessitates the use of medications to help them cope with anxiety or stress producing situations. There are short-term options to use for the occasional trip in the car or visits from certain people your cat has taken a disliking too. Various medications are available to sedate a cat for a short term, temporary situation. These medications require an examination and a prescription from a veterinarian make certain the cat is healthy enough to take them. Not all cats react the same to the same medication, so most veterinarians will suggest an initial trial with a medication while at home to gauge your cat's reaction to the sedative. Keep in mind, some sedatives need to be given an hour or so prior to travel or anticipated stressful event so the cat doesn't override the medication effects due to a buildup of anticipation anxiety. There are a broad range of sedatives used in cats. They all have side effects and precautions for use especially in cats with health conditions like kidney failure, heart disease, and diabetes. Only your veterinarian can advise you on the right one for your cat. Sedatives used in cats include: Benzodiazepines. Examples are alprazolam, midazolam, and lorazepam. These are the most widely used sedatives in cats. They work almost immediately to reduce fear and anxiety in cats working on the same part of the brain as alcohol does in humans. Note: NEVER give alcohol to a cat. SARI's. Trazodone is an example of this type of sedative. It works quickly to relieve anxiety. Clonidine and gabapentin. These have sedative and antianxiety effects in animals including cats. Chlorpheniramine and Benadryl are allergy and cold medications which have been used for cat sedation. Phenobarbital is another sedative used in cats. There are long-term solutions for those few cats that are suffering from constant anxiety. In cats with severe, crippling anxiety long-term medication (given daily for months to years) is the best solution to make life more pleasant for them and their humans. Luckily, there are now fairly safe medications which can temper down the chemical imbalances which make life miserable. These medications include: Amitriptyline (an antidepressant that helps animals with anxiety), Buspirone Hydrochloride (helpful with phobias, such as a fear of people in uniform or a fear of thunderstorms), Clomipramine (Clomicalm), and Fluoxetine (Reconcile, Prozac). In order for these drugs to work effectively, they need to "build up" in the cat's body, so it may take up to 6 weeks to find out if they work on the cat. Also, they should not be stopped abruptly or adverse effects might occur. The best remedy is to slowly taper down the medication to give the body a chance to adjust to the medication decrease.

SUMMARY: Figure out what is making your cat agitated. Use pheromones to calm your cat. Use other non-medication calming aids. Consider using short-term medication. Discuss with your vet the possible sedatives that could help your cat. Explore options for long-term medication.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your feet in line with another, stick your butt out backwards. Hold a weight in each hand, letting your arms stay to your sides. Moving slowly, squat downwards while keeping the weight square to your chest. Move downwards until at a 90 degree angle. Hold briefly, and using your butt muscles, clench and push back upwards. Try 3 reps of 15. When squatting, keep your weight on your heels, rather than tilted forward on the balls of your foot. Always keep good form when squatting. It's important to keep your back straight and chest open, rather than slumping over into poor posture. Keeping your back straight keeps your legs engaged and your butt working hard. If you feel good about squats, try amping up your reps or the amounts of exercises. Another options is to hold at the sitting-stance of the squat. Pausing at the most difficult part will aid in strengthening, and in turn, enlarging, your butt muscles. Don't have a set of dumbbells? Don't find an excuse to skip this exercise. Use things in your home to keep you in tip top shape. For example, a milk jug filled with water and tightly closed can act as a decent sized weight. To amp it up, try filling your jug with loose change.

SUMMARY:
Drop it low with a weighted squat.
