The search was carried out between March and May 2025 using four databases: PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The keywords used were the combination of \u201cpregabalin,\u201d \u201cgabapentin,\u201d \u201canalgesia,\u201d \u201canxiety,\u201d \u201cstress\u201d, and \u201ccats\u201d. Narrative reviews, as well as experimental and observational studies, were included. Experimental studies were classified as randomized controlled trials, controlled clinical trials, and prospective clinical trials, using the GRADE Pro GDP software (FP7-HEALTH.2010.3.1-1-two stage) to assess the certainty and confidence of the evidence. The initial search identified 57 manuscripts, of which 40 met the inclusion criteria. These studies focused on the management of stress, fear, and anxiety, as well as the control of acute and chronic pain in cats. Of these, 21 mention the use of gabapentin as an anxiolytic, while five report similar therapeutic effects of pregabalin. Regarding pain treatment, 12 papers and 2 papers support the use of gabapentin and pregabalin, respectively. This study confirms the validity of both drugs as therapeutic options for the management of stress, fear, and anxiety that impact the emotional welfare of cats. Furthermore, these drugs have been included in therapeutic guidelines for the control and treatment of acute and chronic pain in domestic cats. In conclusion, this systematic review supports the use of both drugs. Still, it highlights the need for more in-depth research and additional clinical trials to complement the existing evidence on the use of gabapentin and pregabalin.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani15162346","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,11]],"date-time":"2025-08-11T09:04:53Z","timestamp":1754903093000},"page":"2346","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Comparison of the Anxiolytic and Analgesic Effects of Gabapentin and Pregabalin in Cats: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0052-861X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agatha Elisa","family":"Miranda-Cort\u00e9s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Program of Doctorado en Ciencias de la Producci\u00f3n y la Salud Animal, Pharmacology and Toxicology of Substances of Veterinary Interest, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM), Cuautitl\u00e1n 54714, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7796-2879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Guadalupe","family":"Prado-Ochoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Sciences Department, Facultad de Estudios Superiores Cuautitl\u00e1n, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM), Cuautitl\u00e1n 54714, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1746-806X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"D\u00edaz-Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Research Unit, Laboratory 9, Cellular Toxicology, Facultad de Estudios Superiores Cuautitl\u00e1n, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM), Cuautitl\u00e1n 54714, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2394-232X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alicia Pamela","family":"P\u00e9rez-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Teaching at the Veterinary Hospital for Dogs and Cats, Speciality in Medicine and Surgery for Dogs and Cats, Universidad Popular Aut\u00f3noma del Estado de Puebla, Puebla 72410, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7163-7178","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Del R\u00edo-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Sciences Department, Facultad de Estudios Superiores Cuautitl\u00e1n, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM), Cuautitl\u00e1n 54714, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0562-0367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Mota-Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurophysiology of Pain, Behavior and Animal Welfare Assessment, Department of Agricultural and Animal Production, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Metropolitana (UAM), Xochimilco Campus, Mexico City 04960, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4271-2906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ismael","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez-Avalos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Pharmacology and Veterinary Anesthesia, Biological Sciences Department, Facultad de Estudios Superiores Cuautitl\u00e1n, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM), Cuautitl\u00e1n 54714, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"577","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X15590867","article-title":"Stress in owned cats: Behavioural changes and welfare implications","volume":"18","author":"Amat","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
