A residential study of the effects of CBD on an aggressive cat, Biggie, was conducted over an eight-week period to determine if CBD could calm the cat and eliminate its attack behavior toward Riley, the family dog. After taking approximately 16.6 mg of CBD Isolate every morning in Biggie’s dry cat food, she showed significantly reduced anxiety and fear as measured by the cat’s behavior and lack of aggression toward Riley the dog.

The experimental subject of this study was Biggie, a formally feral black cat, who was rescued after being attacked by a winged predator and severely injured as a kitten. Biggie was taken to the vet, patched up, brought inside the house and after three weeks of hiding from the other two cats and the dog that lived in the house, Biggie gradually started to come out of hiding and get a little closer to the other pets. . . At first, Biggie was afraid of Riley, a Golden Retriever, and would run away from her whenever he was near her.

Over the course of about three months, Biggie noticed that the dog didn’t bother the other two cats and they rubbed up against her and slept next to her. It was as if the dog was her protector. Little by little, Biggie moved closer to Riley, not even touching her. All the animals seemed to get along and there was peace in the home.

Suddenly one day, Biggie came face to face with Riley and went crazy. He stood up and arched his back violently. He growled menacingly and charged at Riley with both front claws outstretched, ready to attack the dog. My wife, who was standing nearby in the kitchen, stepped in, scolded the cat, and tried to separate the two animals. When she did this, Biggie slashed at her with her claws and injured one of her hands and arm. He then turned around and ran into another room to hide.

This became the new norm. If Biggie walked into the living room, where all the animals congregate during the day, and saw Riley, she would go into attack mode and charge Riley, resulting in more human intervention and more scratches on her arms.

This aggressive behavior continued for about a month. We tried to throw water at Biggie, but he just pissed him off and continued to attack Riley. We did not know what to do.

Finally, I decided to give Biggie some of our pet’s CBD tincture to see if it reduced his anxiety about the dog and calmed him down. I used the 500mg Isolate pet tincture that we developed for the CBD Health Club brand for our e-commerce site. I administered a full dropper, containing approximately 16.6 mg of CBD isolate, every morning in her dry cat food. At first, he smelled the cat food and walked away. I later noticed that he was back at the table eating his cat food, so I know he was ingesting some CBD.

I continued to administer the same amount of CBD isolate every morning for eight weeks and Biggie continued to eat it throughout the day.

After about a week, Biggie began to relax more and the violent attacks stopped. He’d still avoid Riley, but he’d just flop into another chair or the other end of the couch. It was noticeable that he was losing his fear of the dog and relaxing more around him.

While this was an anecdotal study, other environmental factors may have been at play and the amount of CBD ingested each day was not scientifically managed, observation of the cat’s daily behavior showed that something was improving his disposition and his aggressiveness towards the dog was significantly reduced .

The result is that I will continue to give Biggie a dropperful of CBD Isolate every morning and monitor his behavior regularly. Double-blind scientific studies with a placebo group should be conducted to determine CBD dosage levels and measure the behavior of cats after successive periods of administration.
