Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! An anti-anxiety medication can be considered. Something else that can be considered is a product that can help decrease any stress a cat may have and may help correct behaviors. This is called Feliway which you may obtain online or at your local pet store. Good luck and have a good night!
