Thundershirt for cats?

I'm wondering if anyone has used a thundershirt for a cat, and what the success (or failure) has been. I have a socially agressive cat (she loves me, just hates everyone else, lol), who we have resigned ourselves to keeping seperated from the rest of our fur family most of the time. She has her own space and seems ok there. However, when my in-laws come to visit they share 'her space' and sometimes she lashes out if she thinks they are getting too close to her. Fortunately, I have the most amazing in-laws who love our beautiful, but problematic, fur baby, and are very tolerant of her.

Most of what I have read on line about these shirts are that they are used for very short term anxiety - car rides or stormy weather. Any experience using this to curb social anxiety or aggression? Any opinions on if it could work in this situation?

Any info or experiences much appreciated!

Thanks!
