My anxious cat bites. Are there anxiety meds in treat form?

Question

My 6 year old cat bites me on my arm. He lives with me and his litter sister, who he bites on back of neck. I hear there is a new medication that is in a treat and the cat chews and swallows it. The medication is for his apparent anxiety. My vet tried Prozac pill but he spit it out . I'm desperate and am afraid I'll have to have him put to sleep. I'm 78 years old and I'm afraid of him. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 years and 11 months old | 18 lbs

I don't know of a specific medication for anxiety in treat form, but there are treats with supplements for anxiety, the one I used most of is called Compoaure. However your vet can use a compounding pharmacy to get Prozac in treat form as well as that is likely going to be more effective than a supplement.
