What do cat lovers say?
Lyubov: My ginger cat Stepan started to get very nervous a few weeks ago. As soon as my husband and I go to bed, he immediately begins his performance. Then he will start running and scratching the walls, then he will just scream at the bowl. Moreover, the meow was so loud that it was heard not only in ours, but also in the neighboring apartment. As a result, we could not bear it, and after 3 nights I went to the clinic. The doctor prescribed us Kot Bayun tablets. I was amazed at the result, because 2 hours after taking it the cat went to sleep. We just slept like logs all night. The remedy is proven, I can recommend it, I will give the pills for another week, and then we’ll see. I hope that Styopka will understand that she needs to sleep at night, and not run along the walls.
Ekaterina: We started giving my Siamese cat Kot Bayun during her heat. Moreover, she was not the only one suffering from unpleasant symptoms of estrus. She also caused me and my son a lot of trouble, as the continuous meowing continued even at night. Sometimes even neighbors complained about us. As a result, I decided to stop by the veterinary pharmacy after work. The seller suggested this effective remedy to me. Seraphima did not particularly resist taking the tincture; within an hour the effect appeared, as it became less active. I bought it for 150 rubles.
Igor: For the summer, my family and I decided to go to the dacha for a whole month. We couldn’t leave our cat Sima alone in the apartment, so we took her with us. But she did not like such a move at all, since in the evenings she ran around the house and chewed the wallpaper. The veterinarian advised us to use Kot Bayun infusion. After just 3 days of taking the medicine, the cat stopped being aggressive, and now even allows herself to be petted.

Why is a cat nervous and how does it manifest itself?
When a person is nervous, he can scream, cry, get angry, stomp his feet and generally show his emotions in every possible way. How does Murka express his excited state?
- Aggressive towards owners and other animals;
- marks the environment;
- stops going to the litter box;
- makes heart-rending screams;
- has an obsessive desire to constantly lick himself;
- shows unreasonable fear;
- shows nervousness;
- becomes overly active;
- damages walls, furniture, etc.
There are many reasons for a nervous condition:
- a “competitor” (another living creature) appeared in the apartment;
- the period of estrus has come;
- events occur that the animal categorically does not like (moving, being in a carrier for a long time, crowded transport);
- new place of residence and other stressful situations.
Cat Bayun is not a medicine, it is a sedative that will gently help your pet get through “difficult” times.

Review
Polina Maksakova, a well-known veterinarian in Omsk, talks about the drug:
“Our clinic in the city is very popular, visitors come in a stream, and the cat tribe makes up barely half of all patients. Many people sterilize their animals; many are found to have cysts and tumors. In the first case, the owners simply get tired of the problem animal when the mating season begins, in the second - the sad consequences of hormonal drugs that were used to suppress the nervous system of the unfortunate animals. I always advise giving domestic cats Kot Bayun. A wonderful plant-based product, safe and inexpensive. Everyone who has used it couldn’t be happier with the animals; they are quiet, affectionate, with a good appetite and calm disposition. I always say, and will continue to say, if you have problems with your pets, don’t be lazy, come to us. We will solve everything, we will help you in any way. So many modern medicines have appeared, safe and affordable. The same Cat Bayun, for example. Don’t poison your animal with heavy medications, especially hormonal ones; the issue can be resolved much easier and cheaper.”
