Yes, those are herbal ingredients to help keep kitty calm. Most of us have gone that route and even tried other medications such as valium, buspar and amitryptilene. The last one worked for me for a while, thanx to Jen's suggestion, but only for a while. And my Specs became very fearful while on it, so I stopped it. When my vet told me about Clomicalm, it was one happy day in this household. You might try the herbal solution first and, if it works, great. But, if not, Clomicalm has been a godsend to me.
