What is a Feliway Diffuser?
Feliway Diffuser is an electrical device which has a calming effect on your cat and reduces the impulse to urinate, mark or scratch. Feliway is an innovative product that possesses many of the properties of a cats own facial pheromone. Pheromones are natural substances which play an important part in feline communication.
Cat urine contains pheromones that the cat uses to mark his territory to demonstrate dominance or to attract members of the opposite sex. But not all marking is done with urine.
Pheromones produced in the tail and anal sacs provide information about sexual status for mating purposes. And there are pheromones that make the cat feel calm and secure within his environment. These are facial pheromones. You've probably seen a cat rub his face on objects around the house - or even you.
Treatment
It's important to continue treatment for 30 days, marking should cease within that time. In extreme cases, however, 'reminder' maintenance sprays may be necessary every 2 to 3 days. If the cat is over 10 years old, spray areas once daily for 45 days or use the Feliway Diffuser for constant coverage. Repeat every 2-3 days for as long as marking continues.
To prevent sexually oriented marking, it's only necessary to spray the soiled areas - which are normally near exits. If you believe a change in the home may initiate marking, you can prevent it by spraying Feliway on furniture, doors and in the corners of rooms as you would if the cat were marking.
To prevent scratching, Feliway should be sprayed once per day on areas of surfaces that could be attractive to the cat (typically surfaces that are fully visible and vertical.)
Feliway can also be used to calm cats in stressful situations. Depending on the problem you want to solve you can use the Feliway Diffuser or Feliway Spray or both. In the board below, you will find the most appropriate formulation according to your situation:
