FELIWAY Classic Cat Pheromone Calming Diffuser Kit

I heard of this product from a new vet I just started taking my cats to. My cat usually is very tense and nervous when riding in the car or going to the vet, and this most recent visit seemed no different. Riding in the car and sitting in the waiting room, she was meowing desperately, frightened of her surroundings. However, a few minutes after bringing her to the exam room (which had a Feliway diffuser going), it all melted away. She acted so calm and sedate, she acted as if she were home. The effects lingered for the drive back, where she didn’t make a peep and just cruised along with me like a champ. Of course I was sold. I got one for our apartment in the hopes that it would calm some territory related tension between both of my cats in my small apartment. I put it in a central location- in between important resources for the cats (like food or litter) but not next to. I didn’t notice as huge a difference at home as I did in the exam room, but that is probably because of the fact it was covering more sq footage and being diffused in my apartment, which is probably a good thing because you wouldn’t want them zonked all the time. It does get quite warm so make sure it has plenty of room and won’t regularly come in contact with anything. I just got the multi cat version now in the hopes it more successfully tackles my specific problem with my cats, but all in all it seemed like a useful purchase! The only other thing I might find worth mentioning is that I think once it ran out, the cats got riled up and acted kind of agitated because of a mild withdrawal from having soothing hormones in the air 24/7. That again could just be me drawing lines between things that aren’t connected but there you have it.Tldr: It’s no panacea for every cat behavioral issue, but it is worth it. Get multiple and spread them throughout the home for best results

It creates a comforting environment that helps cats feel secure without any sedating effects or behavioral changes - just natural relaxation.The plug-in format is incredibly convenient and covers up to 700 square feet effectively. The diffuser works continuously and silently, providing consistent calming benefits without any maintenance or daily administration.The 48ml refill provides excellent value for a full month of continuous calming support.

Outstanding product that delivers real behavioral benefits through natural methods. Highly recommend for any cat owner dealing with feline stress or anxiety!

For a week after a recent move my cat just WOULD NOT stop screaming at me when I tried to sleep. The first night after I plugged this in, he was calmer, and since the second night after he's been very chilled out. It could just be chance, and since I can't know I'd give it 5 stars... BUT... I bought this years before to calm down the same cat and it had no effect (I was just really desperate this time), so it gets 4 stars.

I really wanted this to work because it has so many good reviews. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any change in my cat’s behavior. He still seemed stressed and continued marking around the house. Not saying it won’t work for other cats, but it wasn’t worth the price for us.

I was extremely skeptical that this would work. My cat has been bullied by another cat and he wouldn't go to the litter box. So he would fall asleep and relax and pee in my bed! So I tried this as a last resort and within 30 seconds of plugging it in my cat went to the litter box! I couldn't believe it worked. Been using them ever since and have had no accidents! I recommend this product! The tension is not as bad between the cats anymore either. No fights.

First a little background, we have five cats. One (Pete) has been blind since birth. His sibling Benjamin started getting a little to aggressive when they all played. Based on Feliways claim that it’s supposed to calm and reduce stress we bought a plug in.After a few days we noticed Pete started spraying everywhere. We immediately took him to the vet to make sure there was nothing medically wrong and they were 100% confident it was behavioral. We racked our brain for a few days and tried everything. Added more litter boxes, created more safe spaces, nothing worked.After exhausting all efforts we started thinking it may be the feliway, so we unplugged it. We put it in a bag and placed it outside far away from the house. We aired out the house and that was the last day Pete sprayed. A leather chair, a table, curtains and hundreds of dollars in vet expenses all wasted because of this product that did the exact opposite of what it’s supposed to do.We did more research into feliway and found that all of the studies they reference are paid by feliway. Even worse there was also no control group in the studies. So it is basically just “take our word for it”.The independent studies that have been done saw absolutely NO positive impact. Basically what this product has done is taken a cats natural pheromone and amplified, heated it up and sent it into the air. It is basically creating an imaginary cat with a super strong scent to basically dominate everyone else. This cannot be good for a cat’s natural hierarchy.In Pete’s case he smelled another cat and since he could not see one he felt threatened and started trying to reclaim his space. Blind cats naturally have a heightened sense of smell so this must have been super stressful for him.I feel the marketing of this product is highly deceptive and is cruel. If your cat is stressed or misbehaving, take the time to find out why they are behaving the way they are and find a more natural way to resolve the situation. There are other options. This I don’t think is one of them. If you do decide to try it, use with caution. In the cases where it has changed the behavior of the cat I worry it is out of fear not out of relief.

I'm a rescuer but after a Trap, Neuter Release left me with two unadopted kittens (for three cats in the home), I decided that was the end for a bit for me. One of the new kittens (now a year old) has remained feral, but he's not a fighter, so it was okay.A month ago, a full-grown cat showed up on my deck and decided he lives with me. He's 7 years old (estimated), was un-neutered, but had obviously been in and out of someone's home. I had him neutered immediately, but he made the FOURTH male cat in the house. And he is a big boy and seems like a true Tom. I had to keep him apart from the others as he healed, and the bathroom I housed him in smelled like a Tom cat spray. This is new for me.I couldn't have that with the others, especially given two are fairly feral. The first trip out of the bathroom for the new Tom (Mr. Bojangles, Bo for short) and he walked over and sprayed something. Ugh....I was scared. Friends paid the vet bills with the idea that I would then care for Bo for his life. I was petrified he would set the feral kitties wild spraying up my little home.When he got out and about, he would wake up at 3 am howling, running through the house. I am convinced he lived with someone who worked in a bar or strip club.The vet suggested Feliway diffusers, and I was totally skeptical but desparate. So I loaded up on them.WOW!!!!!I read up on them after the vet told me about them, and people had reported that they seemed to mellow the cats out in addition to controlling the urge to spray. Again...I was wildly skeptical.These boys circled one another for a day or so and one of the kittens threw a few kitty punches, but this stuff did the trick. I would have loved it just for the spraying aspect, but it really has mellowed them in a way that isn't drugged.It's a bit pricey. I found I had to have four through my small house. I don't think it will cover the area it reports to cover...perhaps in a more open environment. So, I added extras. I figured one dedicated to my bedroom was a good idea. I bought another round of refills that will carry me another month. Then I may see what happens without them.Another odd thing is I have found they are not wearing at the same rate. The one in the bedroom is still 3/4 full, while the one in the hall is nearly empty, so you'll have to gauge what you need. If you are going to try it, however, I'd recommend that you go all out for one round. To under buy is to not give it a fair shot. Don't buy one to cover your entire downstairs, for example, because you won't know if it just didn't work for you or you didn't buy the right amount.Good luck!

About a month ago, my 4-year old male Maine Coon and 3 1/2 year old female Tuxedo cat (scaredy-cat non-socialized brother & sister shelter rescues) and I moved in with my 77-year old Dad when Mom passed away. Cedric, (the Maine Coon) had been driving us both insane adding to our stress by leaving us both horribly sleep-deprived and frustrated. He was meowing incessantly all night, pawing maniacally on doors that are off-limits to him right now while I'm still not fully moved in, running up and down the hallway upstairs where we're living (Dad is downstairs), etc. I had heard about Feliway but it was almost twice as much at Petco and that was too much to risk that it wouldn't work. A friend told me to check Amazon and I bought two, which I received on Monday this week. Today is the third day in a row that we've gotten a full night's uninterrupted sleep in an entire month.Even more amazing is that I had to bring Cedric to the vet on Tuesday and after only one night of using the Feliway, I was able to capture him and put him in the carrier with no resistance, and absolutely NO meowing or clawing or banging around the case to get out during the car trip to, from or during the time at the vet's. When we moved to Dad's, this cat went berserk in his case until he was able to see his sister--he is scared to death unless he sees her. Yet after less than 24 hours with Feliway, he was completely calm and quiet.I'm so impressed and happy with my purchase, I'm buying 4 more diffusers to put in additional rooms in Dad's 2-story house so they will also be comfortable coming downstairs and hanging out with him eventually. My vet said although he's found that Feliway doesn't work for ALL cats, he uses it to calm one of his own scaredy cats. I can't tell you how relieved I am to have found such an amazing solution. I feel much better about using this than a prescription tranquilizer or Benadryl. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

Mi gato orinaba por todos lados a pesar de que ya está esterilizado y mi otra gata se la pasa molestandolo, lo cual le derivó estrés, decidi darle una oportunidad a este producto porque llegué al punto de lavar sus orines diario en sabanas, sillas, etc.Y increíblemente dejó de orinar en lugares donde no debe y mi gata ha dejado de molestarlo tanto, el único punto malo es que no dura 1 mes como dice, a mi me duró 3 semanas, pero ya compré recambio porque si mejoró mucho la convivencia de mis gatos, si vale la pena a pesar del precio algo elevado

Please i'm only writing this so other customers are safe... its the worst product I have ever bòught on amazon. It melted with stings of plastic all the way to the ground with in 15 mins of me plugging it in and the liqiud container went flying across the floor like a bomb due to which my lights flused ...if I wasn't in the room to switch it of my room would have caught fire and to think of it my cats were in the same room still horrified by this event. So i complained to the company and all they said was can't refund the product as the date expired. ....like I wanted another of thier product. ...not even for free...

calms the kittens

I bought 3 of these, and every time I plugged one in, the diffuser worked for a short time and then stopped completely. Very disappointing, especially for such an expensive product.

Produto muito bom!! Recomendo para acalmar e ajudar na adaptação entre gatos.
