Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Feliway 48-Milliliter Plug-In Refills, 6 Refills
Customer Review: Feliway is great for Sress in cats and social anxiety
Summary: 5 Stars
We rescued 3 cats and had a stray adopt us. Then we heard about a momma cat with 4 kittens suffering in a shelter so we rescued her. We were able to get two kittens adopted, but momma had a nervous breakdown. Also, our first cats were not happy about the new cats. We were not sure how to handle things when we heard about Feliway and decided to try it. It took a few days for the results to be seen clearly, but it really did save the momma cat from her own nerves! The cats all settled down, and after two months of running this item in a diffuser non stop, we were able to stop using it all together. It helped the cats to sort of re-evaluate their feelings about each other. We have not used the product for about a year and suddenly, one of the older cats is attacking our newest rescue. Again, we are buying the feliway! We have never had a urinating problem, only a stress problem and social problem with our cats. This product has been a huge help. We have reached our limit for cats in this house.. (about time, right?) but I am sure that now we will all live happily with our large extended family thanks to Feliway. I have also heard that Bach rescue remedy is excellent, but have not been able to try it yet. The other foster parents from the rescue group we worked with swear by it!Customer Review: Peace among the cats!
Summary: 5 Stars
Our vet recommended Feliway when we moved to our house a few months ago. Our oldest cat was prone to spraying in our old house, and we wanted to create a spray-free zone from the start. We set up six units between the three floors of the house. The saturated Feliway environment meant a blissful transition, the three cats seemed mellow and immediately happy in their new space.
Fast forward a few months, the Feliway now only on one third dose (2 diffusers only), and our three-year old female started fighting the youngest arrival for top cat status. Fur flying, hissing and stealth attacks several times a day. Our vet recommended Prozac, which is a hard medicine to take (it is extremely bitter and causes extensive frothing at the mouth, hiding it in soft food worked only for a very short time).
We decided to give Feliway another try and set up four units on the first two floors. Within a day, peace and quiet, and the aggressive cat has returned to her sweet mien. We stopped the Prozac altogether.
Lesson learned: respect the concentration stated on the container, and order it so there is no interruption in the diffusing. This product works remarkably well, has no smell to us humans, and our cats are visibly so much more relaxed and content (as are we!).
Customer Review: I'm impressed!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product worked spectacularly well in my house with 6 cats in 2400 sq feet. With two males (neutered) and four females (not spaded) we have had constant problems over the past three years with cats spraying areas to establish territoriality.
We have 10 litter boxes scattered about with 3 or 4 different types of litter (more than the n+1 rule), but this hasn't eliminated the problem. I've tried isolating cats with their own litter box, and although this helps it also didn't solve the problem.
About three weeks ago we installed 6 diffusers throughout the house -- particularly in areas where the cats constantly soiled. The result was almost immediate. They stopped urinating outside of the litter boxes. In only one instance has a cat urinated, and that was in a room we normally have as a cat free zone.
The problems caused by having the second male cat hasn't disappeared. He is socially immature and tends to attack the other cats, but the stress levels for the cats have gone down.
I wish we had known about this product sooner. Other than its cost, which is a problem, Felliway does what it claims and I will be using it from now on and am an enthusiastic endorser.
Customer Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a bit skeptical when researching this product, but I figured it was worth a shot. Our 6 month old kitten Toby seemed constantly stressed out and nervous. We tried everything to comfort him but it just seemed to be part of his personality. He only seemed content when he was being held or cuddling with the other cat, and went through a phase of marking on the living room carpet. Every tiny noise would scare him, and he would spend most nights crying incessantly. Within 24 hours of plugging in the Feliway he was like a new cat. He's relaxed, doesn't pace around any longer, hasn't marked at all, and rarely cries. We often find him on the living room floor, flat on his back with all four paws in the air and calm as can be. I'm so glad that we found a product that works so well because his neurotic state did not seem like a happy way for any animal to live. We accidentally let the diffuser run out one month and noticed right away that his nervous tendencies were back. Within a few hours of plugging in the refill in, Toby was back to his normal chilled out self. Definitely give this a try. At the very worst you are out a few dollars but it might be just what you are looking for.Customer Review: Feliway - helped with merging households
Summary: 5 Stars
We merged cat households when we got married. He had three and I had one. After a year, they were still fighting and I got bitten (badly) by my own cat - wrong place, wrong time, she was panicked. I was ready to get rid of all the cats but calmed down after two days (and antibiotics, tetanus shot) and called the vet who recommended Feliway.
It made a difference right away. My 7 year old, spayed female had always been high strung but is now a lap kitty who enjoys attention. His stressed, nearly hairless black cat calmed down, his hair started growing back the first month of use and is now affectionate, selectively. I wish we'd known about this sooner.
To be clear, it is not entirely peaceful here and the cats still hiss and fight off and on but no one's bleeding anymore (including me!). I strongly recommend this product for anyone with stressed cats.
We use two diffusers, in the two main areas the cats spend time. They tend to run out for us around the 30 day mark and we notice significantly increased aggression if we are late changing refills.
Note: 3 of our 4 cats gained a noticeable amount of weight.
