Your cat's sudden lethargy might be a reaction to the calming collar, as some cats can be sensitive to the pheromones or ingredients used. While calming collars can be helpful for anxiety, they may cause adverse reactions in some pets. It's important to monitor your cat for any improvement after the collar is removed. If lethargy or other concerning symptoms persist, consulting a veterinarian is a prudent step to ensure there are no underlying health issues at play.
