Feliway: Electronic Diffuser

Aromatherapy for cats. Restore your cats natural balance to help with urine marking.

The secret to happy cats. When a cat feels safe in its environment, it rubs its head against the furniture, the corners of walls or the bottom of the curtains leaving substances called facial pheromones. These pheromones convey a message of well-being, calm and absence of stress.

If your cat has undergone stress they may develop a change in behavior such as urine marking. Feliway can be used to restore the natural balance. Feliway diffuser mimics the cat’s facial pheromones, creating a state of well-being and calm. 1 vial lasts about 4 weeks.

What is Feliway?

Feliway is a natural treatment developed to help prevent your cat from engaging in urine spraying or destructive clawing behavior. When coping with a stressful situation, such as traveling to the vet, Feliway also helps to calm your cat.

In new environments or stress inducing situations, many cats resort to spraying urine on vertical surfaces, including doors, walls, and drapes, to show their "ownership" of the territory. A cat's clawing can wreak havoc on sofas, speakers and other home furnishings.

While spraying and marking are common emotional and instinctual cat behaviors, they are not appreciated by the humans of the household. Treatment of vertical surfaces with Feliway helps curb these troublesome cat behaviors.

How Does Feliway Work?

A cat has several pairs of scent glands each designed for a specific and different purpose. The scent glands release pheromones. Pheromones are chemical substances secreted by animals to communicate ownership of territory and mating availability to others.

Pheromones can be secreted from various locations on the body. Those on the back end of a cat are used in times of stress and anxiety for territory marking. Those on the front paws are also used to mark territory, but may also be used indicate a "dangerous" area, and clawing leaves a visible mark as well. The facial scent glands on the top of your cat's head and on his cheeks release calming, "friendly" pheromones that indicate and area is "safe".

Feliway is a chemical copy of the facial pheromones present in cats. When a cat detects the presence of these pheromones, the result is an emotional calming, reducing your cat's impulse to mark his or her territory with urine spraying or scratching behavior.

Scientific studies confirm Feliway's effectiveness in mimicking natural facial pheromone marking.

How Do Cats Use Facial Pheromones?

Cats use facial pheromones to familiarize themselves with their environment. The cat recognizes surfaces that have been marked with these pheromones as familiar, non-threatening, and comforting.

Facial pheromones are proven to have an emotionally calming effect on cats. Feliway is able to soothe cats and help prevent urine spraying and other stress-related behaviors. Visit Calm Your Cat for more information.
