More Information

My Vet recommended this item for our move and I'm impressed!     On: 2008-09-30

While getting ready for our move to our first new home, I noticed the cats becomming really uneasy and nervous. They seemed to pick up on our nerves over the move as well as the fact that we were packing everything in sight. So I called my Veterinarian, whom I find to be so knowledgeable and always willing to give advice, and she told me about this product called Feliway! She said that many of her pet owners had success with this item and that I should try putting one in the new home to aid in their adjustment, as well as one in my old home to help calm them for the troubling nudge into the pet caddy. They hate that caddy! Well, I have to say, this product worked like a dream. They have not soiled the new home and they are adjusting nicely to a strange environment. My Vet did say that this product did not work for everyone, and youll see the same thing here in the reviews, but it has worked for many and I count myself amongst the many.
Give er a try! What do you have to lose?
Once you start, better not run out!     On: 2008-09-21

Bought these for my sister -- she had been using them to keep her old male cat from spraying due to a new cat in the house and ran out and didnt think it would be necessary to buy more because he had stopped while using the first batch -- well, she was wrong!!! Within two days he was spraying again and she was desperate for more. Amazon seems to have the best price too! Great product!!!

Unfortunatly, this product did not stop my cat from urinating under stress. It seemed to mellow her out for a day or two but then her same behavior started within a few days.
Farnam Comfort Zone Feliway     On: 2008-09-21

This product is truly amazing. I bought this after my mothers cats had destroyed the carpeting in her house three times. After using this product for four months, her house has no cat odor, and she has found no evidence of spraying or going outside of the litter box. I would highly recommend it. We used it after she replaced her carpeting. I dont know how well it works if the carpet still has the odor of cat urine.
Undecided     On: 2008-09-16

After one month the cat with the panic attacks has finally come downstairs while adults (other than myself) were in the room; however, just the other day the little cat (who does not have anxiety issues) pooped for the first time off of the pads placed around the downstairs littler box. Cant decide if it is working well or not since the cat with anxiety is also on prozac. I think I need to take the cats medicine . . .
It's a Lifesaver!!     On: 2008-09-15

I am a believer!! After I took in my 8th cat, who was born without eyes, and found wandering on the streets, one of my male and female cats decided to start spraying on everything. I tried every cleaning spray, carpet shampoo, and air freshner. Nothing worked, so my vet told me to give the Feliway a try. Believe me, I was to the point that I actually considered giving cats away. I would clean a spot, and 2 seconds later it was sprayed again! It took a good 4 months to see the difference. I have 3 plug-ins to cover the bottom floor of my home. I also purchased another item that someone else wrote about to do the initial cleaning of the urine spray, called "Anti-Icky Poo". I thought it was a joke, but that stuff is awesome as well! Also, the fighting between the male and female stopped. Be patient, and give this product a chance to work, because it does!
Pretty good results     On: 2008-09-01

I have three cats, mama cat and her two boys. All of a sudden, after three years, the mama cat decided to act mean to one of her boys. Growling, hissing and once in a while attacking. (Fortunately no blood, just lots of hair all over!)
The vet recommended this product and despite some skepticism, Im impressed!
The "incidents", while not gone completely, have lessened considerably both in intensity and frequency.
And.....its much more affordable here than at the local PetSmart!
Ill be buying more.
Calms my cat     On: 2008-08-31

I have been using this product for some time now per a vet suggestion. One of my cats was very aggressive to my other cat. Since using this product he has calmed down significantly
Tense Tamer for Our Feline Friends     On: 2008-08-28

Starting at 5 months of age, our cat began urinating on our beds and in our laundry basket. We tried several things: a visit to the vet to check for an UTI, limiting his access to the soiled areas, thoroughly cleaning the soiled area, getting him fixed, and buying an extra litter box. After 3 months, the problem had progressed not decreased despite our efforts. Per our vets recommendation, we ordered Feliway. We limited his access to all marked areas in the house for 1 month and in combination with the diffuser, he has not urinated outside his litter box in over 6 months. He is now allowed access to all areas that he previously soiled but does not seem tempted to repeat the marking behavior. I do noticed that if his diffuser is running low, he looks frazzled and sniffs around alot. This sudden distress quickly fades when the diffuser is replaced. I truly believe that the diffuser has helped my cat overcome his anxiety in our home and has discouraged his marking behavior. But be understanding on the area that the diffuser can cover. If you have a large home, you may need more than one diffuser. I have had people say that it seems a bit pricey, but my reply is that a new mattress costs alot more and our pet is priceless. Now we are able to enjoy our pet, and he is able to enjoy us as well. I highly recommend this product, in conjunction with other initial checks/balances such as feline health, has the soiled areas been thoroughly cleaned, etc (see above or consult your vet). On one final note,cat spraying/marking is the number one reason cats are given away. It is very hard for a cat to get adopted if it displays this kind of behavior. With patience and knowledge on how to correct the problem, your pet can be a welcomed addition to your home.
Cat Scratch Fever, No More     On: 2008-08-22

This seems to be the only product that calms our dopey cat named Gus Gus from his anxiety which leads him to use our entry welcome mat as a piddle place. Since using Feliway he hasnt had an "accident". Although the price is a bit high its worth the cost in replacing mats as well as potential repair of our hardwood floors caused by his damaging urine. This also acts to calm our multiple cat household, helping to avoid conflicts and the always annoying scratching of the furniture.
save your money     On: 2008-08-20

I purchased this product, hoping it would curb my male cats desire to mark. His marking had intensified since the birth of my child. Marking had always been a part of life for my cat, but only occasionally. Following the birth of my baby, my male cat became an "angry middle child," marking up to 5 times a day! This product was to be my last hope for a pee free zone.

I have been using this product for 3 months now, with only mediocre results. The marking has gone down to 2 times a day. But now he marks in front of the outlet where the Comfort Zone is plugged into! Based on my results, I would not recommend this product to anyone.
Helped Greatly.......     On: 2008-08-18

This was an awesome improvement in my multiple cat household. Stress and illness caused much inappropriate urination and now I see an 80% difference in this. Very little clean ups and also stress levels have decreased, thusly the fighting has almost stopped. I would definately recommend this produst to anyone who has nervous, or, cats going out of the litterbox. I use the plug ins, one per large room. Seems to really do the trick.
Comfort Zone with Feliway     On: 2008-08-08

One of my kittens had an irrational fear of thunder and would shake uncontrollably, pant, and go into a frenzy whenever there was a storm. My veterinarian recommended Feliway, as it has been known to calm cats and solve all sorts of behavioral problems. I was skeptical, but purchased a 30-day plug-in. The results were remarkable! While the kitten is still not completely comfortable with storms, he is not panicked anymore. He may go into hiding under a bed or behind furniture, but there is no frenzy about it, no shaking, no panting and he comes out readily as soon as the storm has ended. This product is also said to be good for multiple cat households where the cats fight, or litterbox problems (ie. not using it). I cant speak for those problems as we dont have them, but for calming Feliway was superb and I recommend it to everyone who is in this situation!
My cat and my family are no longer stressed out     On: 2008-08-05

We recently adopted a stray who was determined to become impregnated. Well she succeeded in her attempts before they vet was able to spay her and 9 weeks later we have kittens! The only reason I knew when I came down that morning that we had new kitties was our kitchen was COVERED in urine and feces thanks to our male cat (approx 3 years old). So I cleaned it up and gave him the benefit of the doubt and hoped it wouldnt happen again. But it did over and over again. I was at wits end and knew it wasnt a medical problem. My vet and local rescue shelter recommended Comfort Zone Feliway!

This stuff is a lifesaver!!! The cat has been urintating and pooing in the house for 3 weeks now and he hasnt done it since we plugged in the feliway diffuser. It truly does work and is well worth the money spent.
farnam comfort zone feliway     On: 2008-07-28

I recently purchased Farnam Comfort zone Feliway plugin. It is a convenient way to cover a whole room with out having to remember to spray the room each day with a spray applicator. So far it has been effective, the cat has not sprayed in that part of the cellar where I put it or anywhere ele since I got it. The cat also seems calmer. I saw the same product in another store for a lot more money than what I paid when I ordered it. So far so good. Its definetly worth a try!
great     On: 2008-07-23

Ive been using CZ for my cats for a while now, our cats are stress free.
Feliway     On: 2008-07-22

This product has so far worked to significantly decrease my cats aggression towards the other cat.
Great Stuff!     On: 2008-07-16

This product really calms my cats down. I have a high-strung female cat who dislikes the males. She urinated on my bed whenever she got stressed out. Almost immediately upon using this product, she stopped. If it runs out, she returns to the behavior, so I havent been able to break her of it. However, it is worth the cost to not have to wash everything.
stress relief     On: 2008-07-08

Its not a magic cure for all cat problems, but over time it has made a difference at my house. Everyone says, neuter males and problems are solved... Well...My 3 males were all neutered by 3 months and they still needed to establish a heirarchy. Feliway wasnt an instant or total cure, but things are so much better.
Best cat calmer I've found     On: 2008-07-08

I have two male cats who were picked from the same litter 13 years ago. They have always been indoors-only cats. One of the cats is significantly larger and began spraying at 3 mos, leading to neutering for both at that age, which is a bit earlier than the average. The cat who sprayed goes a bit nuts about once a month and frequently attacks his smaller brother aggressively, simulating sexual activity. Using these Feliway diffusers made a significant difference in keeping the "bad" cat calmer. Ive been using it for at least three years and would never change. I dont use it in every room, just the areas in which he spends the most time.
There would be no peace in our household without this product     On: 2008-06-28

After having our two cats almost five years and recently adding a rescued kitty, there would be no peace in our household without the calming effect of Comfort Zone with Feliway. It really has helped our cats to adjust to one another. The refills last one month and are odorless to humans. If youre having problems with marking or scratching, give this a try.
"Night and Day"     On: 2008-06-22

Before trying this product I had to separate my two cats, but since using the diffusers they are buddies! Powerful difference!!! I am so grateful that there is healthy cat behavior in my home.
Unfortunately, this can be expensive to maintain.
No help at all     On: 2008-06-16

I tried this for 3 months to help "soothe" my female cat who, for whatever reason, has decided to hiss and stalk my alpha male. It hasnt helped at all. At the same time, I sent 3 months worth to a friend whose newest rescue was marking when hed see other cats outside and also was being aggressive toward an already-owned indoor female, to the point that she wont come out of the bedroom. Hasnt helped the situation at my friends house either. Both cats have been checked for physical ailments, found not to have any, no changes in litter, food, etc. My friend is at her wits end--I just keep a spray water bottle handy for my female cat and am finally to the point that I just have to reach for it and she stalks off in the other direction. But neither of us have any recourse for when we are not at home. This stuff didnt help one little bit.
Great Vet Recommended Product     On: 2008-05-22

Our cats veterinarian recommended this product after he was hospitalized for the second time for a urinary blockage. Our cat has FLUTD, a disease that that has no distinct cause (possibly food & stress related), where the cat builds crystals in his stomach that can eventually lead to blockage and death.

Feliway was recommended to offset the smells of other cats that would come to visit our house. Neighboring cats visit frequently, looking in windows and sometimes spraying on the exterior causing our cat to become stressed and spray indoors. With the exception of a few occasions, after installing Feliway, our cat has stopped spraying. There have only been a couple of occurrences since we started using the product and that was when the bottles were low.

We have also changed his diet completely, but it should be noted that he has no indication of new crystals building up in his intestines. This product may be a life saver -literally.
Excellent Product     On: 2008-05-21

This product definitely works on my cats. It calms my young male cat down enough that he doesnt drive my older female cat nuts. Hes still very playful and attentive, but not nearly as aggressive with her as he is when we dont use Feliway. It really has made a huge difference in our household.
Feliway     On: 2008-05-16

Great product. My cat is much more relaxed, and stopped urinating on the carpet (to my knowledge)!
Wonderful product     On: 2008-05-05

My cat used to urinate outside the litterbox. Our vet recommended Feliway, and it has been a godsend. He is mellower, more affectionate, and only has accidents when he has a urinary tract infection, or if I forget to change the feliway when it is empty. We saved so much money by buying this on Amazon instead of at the local pet supply store.

Thanks so much.

Wish I hadknownn about his product earlier!!!     On: 2008-04-20

I have rescued many cats. This product has made my life much calmer (not just the cats). The amount of cat urine on the floors and elsewhere has dramatically increased. The cats are friendlier to each other.
cat distress problem     On: 2008-04-19

these are somewhat helpful but my coon cat -when anxious-sprays-and sometimes even with 3 in the house -it may help-and sometimes -not.
Never Got It!     On: 2008-04-15

I never received this product so I cannot review. I will give the company that was supposed to send it to me a review: F!
Farnam Comfort Zone w/Feliway     On: 2008-04-06

I was skeptical when I first purchased the produce. Now I wouldnt do without it. My 3 cats behavior is so much better with the Feliway plug ins. I always buy it on Amazon and save a lot of money that way. I have 3 plug ins in the house and use the spray in the crates before transporting the cats to the vet. I highly recommend this product.
This stuff works great -no more medication needed-no side effects either     On: 2008-04-02

I had a cat that was a spayed female that started spraying 6 months after a new cat came into the home. We had tried two different medications from the veterinarian. One, made the cat listless and sleepy all the time. She was a different cat and the other, worked but gave her a twitch that she never had before. I tried the feliway product in the comfort zone plug in and I havent had any more spraying. They still will hiss every now and then but no spraying. All is well again.
Calming Effect Noticed     On: 2008-04-01

Our three cats have had a stressful month with one of them suffering from a respiratory illness. He had become so fearful of going to the vet that he hid from us on the weekends and spent most of his time upstairs. I bought the Comfort Zone bottle and plugged it in the living room where they usually spend most of the day. Since plugging it in hes now sleeping cuddled on the couch with the other two. He seems to be more calm which is also helping his breathing. Hes also picking on his sister less and the two of them will sleep together without the usual posturing and hissing. I cant think of anything else that has brought on this change.
Feliway Refill     On: 2008-03-27

We have many cats that come in the house. This is a good product, but with a number of cats, you still have to continually look for their marking their territory.
Peaceful coexistence     On: 2008-03-25

My vet recommended this product because I had introduced a new young cat to my home, and my old guy Max and she did not get along at all--hissing, batting, etc. In fact, Max started going outside the box because Lily ambushed him. After a couple weeks, things quieted down and they will even lay down on the bed at the same time--not together. I dont know if they will ever really like each other, but at least they tolerate each other now.

Feliway diffuser refull     On: 2008-03-15

This product brings our bitchy, grumpy, female cat into the living room again. It helps her get along with the 3 males we have and not torment them as much. It also helps our scaredy cat relax.
Comfort Zone Feliway Diffuser     On: 2008-02-26

I started using this product after my cat "sprayed" everything in my house-doors, curtains, couch, you name it! I had used the Feliway spray, but changed to the diffuser when it became available. Since I started using this product about 5 years ago, my cat has not "sprayed" once! I recommended this to a friend who was trying to integrate a feral cat into her household which included 2 other cats. She also felt that this diffuser was a miracle. I would highly recommend this to anyone trying to tackle difficult issues with an unhappy cat. Dont forget, if the "spraying" is a new behavior, get the cat checked by a vet to make sure there is not medical cause.
Cat Problems Have Stopped     On: 2008-02-23

We were having problems with one of our two 7-year old cats, Mack, urinating on plastic bags and/or clothes left lying on the floor/chairs/etc.

Of our two cats, he was more of a "cats cat", still acting like a kitten at this age and also maybe somewhat hyper.

At first wed just have an incident about once every six months, we werent even sure which cat it was but someone was going on our luggage, on clothese in a dresser drawer, etc. We travel a lot so we thought this was a "statement".

It recently became worse culminating in Mack going on something right in front of my husband.

As with some cats, he would only go on plastic and on clothes or loose cloth that he could "dig" in (clothes, blankets, etc.). He went on both my husbands and my clothes.

Everyone who has a cat they love who starts to do this knows how upsetting it is for everyone because you cant imagine how you can continue to live with it.

When this behavior started, we took him to the vet just to be sure he was fine physically, which he was. I told the vet he also seemed depressed, not like himself. She recommended Feliway, stating it seems to work for some cats, but not all.

I bought the diffuser kind and put it in the room Mack sleeps in all day and since weve purchased it, we have not had an incident. Weve been using it for about two months.

My only caveat is that since then, we also started making sure no cloth or plastic is available for the cat to go on and weve blocked him from the laundry and/or other possible attractive areas. Were also being sure to get him some quality attention each day.

Since depression and/or stress is part of what causes this, that is why it is also important not to yell at the cat who does this, put their nose in it, throw them in the litter box, etc.

I know this review isnt 100% for Feliway but I do believe in it and will continue to buy it. I just wanted to share my experience with my cat as I know I searched the web for answers when we were in the midst of this and I hope this info helps another cat-loving household.
Wonderful     On: 2008-02-13

Our 8 year old male cat started walking around the house crying all of the time unless someone was petting him. He then started waking up around 2 in the morning and would just wander around crying unless someone woke up to pet him. We took him to the vet who pronounced him healthy as can be. The crying behavior went on for almost two years until we tried this product. Literally the day we plugged in the diffuser he stopped the crying and sleeps through the night. It is unbelievable. He also sprays but really hasnt stopped that, though.
clean up from feline spay relief     On: 2008-01-24

This product appears to work. Ive used it for a year or so. The only thing is that it seems to have a range. I have it plugged into the outlet in my bathroom of the master bedroom and my neutered male cat doesnt spray there anymore, however he does still spray on a rare occasion at one spot in my bedroom. I will have to experiment with another plug in for that area. I was hoping one would do the trick.
Product has been a God send     On: 2008-01-20

Comfort Zone Feliway has worked wonders for our very shy and formerly abused cat! He has worked through his "bad habits" caused by anxiety and is much more sociable. I have recommended this product to all my cat owning friends and they report equally good results.

Feliway has helped 6 cats: & 4 humans!     On: 2007-11-27

Note the "with" in the label name is confusing for the hurried shopper. This is NOT a diffuser with product, its just a convoluted name for one bottle of product. Still, this product has stopped several cats from peeing on floors and furniture,in 2 different households. Amazing! One cat just sits there and stares at the diffuser ..... A big stress reliever for the humans, too! Its a relief not to have to go around sniffing the furniture every day.
Farnam Comfort Zone with Feliway, Refil Bottle 48ML     On: 2007-11-24

Since one of our three cats was ill for about a year, she simply refused to use the litter box. Now, at least she has stopped urinating on the carpet. It does not work for feces, however she is doing her business close to the box on a newspaper. Whew!
Product itself is great but was not the same as picture     On: 2007-11-15

When I ordered, the picture showed the Feliway plug in and one bottle. My order arrived quickly but it was only the refill. Now the picture on the review page is different than when I ordered. It appears that there is some confusion as to what product they really carry.
Dont waste your money     On: 2007-11-14

I read the previous reviews on the product which made it sound so good... before I committed to buy over $100 worth including the 2 refills from this order- Dont waste your money...I have not seen any change in my 2 most agressive cats they are still fighting and marking where ever they want- by the way they are two spayed females in a home with 11 other spayed or neutered cats, in fact they have now started to attack some of the other cats. it sounded so good I am very disappointed it didnt work and its been over a month.....
Amazon's picture was misleading     On: 2007-10-24

It used to show the filled diffuser and a refill in the newer packaging. Yet many seem to have only received the refills. I called Amazon and they said they would get the correct product out to me free of charge. I got it, and it was two more refills! If I dont return the first ones to them within 30 days I will be charged again for these "correct" (yeah right)replacements... So that would be like $80 spent on 4 refills. I am returning them all needless to say.
What a headache. Amazon has messed up on this one. UGH!
Description does not match product recieved     On: 2007-10-22

From carefully reading the description, one would think that this includes both the diffuser and the Feliway. That is not true. You get a great product, but it is ONLY the refill. Two stars for misleading product description.
Product does NOT match picture     On: 2007-10-17

The picture shows a diffuser and a refill bottle. I have used Feliway before and the product itself is great, but, AblsolutelyPets sent me refill bottles only titled Comfort ZONE W/FELIWAY REFILL 48ML. If you were expecting the product to match the picture, it apparently does not. So, 2 stars because I would rate the product itself as 5 stars, and 1 or 0 for the deceptive lack of a product description past the title and the deceptive picture which implies both a diffuser and a refill bottle. Note: to use the product requires both the diffuser which plugs into the wall and the bottle, which can be purchased separately as a refill, that contains the Feliway product.
didn't work for us     On: 2007-09-28

We tried this and it seemed to work but then the other day our cat decided to mark the leather sofa. :(

Good Product for Problem Cats     On: 2007-09-27

Feliway really helped my situation with 3 male cats when 1 or 2 of them decided to start spraying. The only problem with using it all the time is the cost and the fact that I can only get 3-4 weeks out of a bottle. I tried to have 3 going at a time to control the problem in various parts of the house, but its too costly. Problem was solved when one cat went to live with my daughter. Now I only need to use Feliway when we are cat-sitting for her!
Comfort Zone - 48 ml refill - Feline Behavior Modification Plug-In with Feliway     On: 2007-09-27

This product has totally changed our cats behavior. For years we have had litter box & urine marking problems in addition to our cat pooping anywhere other than the litter box. We have taken her to the vet numerous times and this time the vet recommended Feliway. Ever since weve had Feliway in the house, our cat has become the "perfect" cat. Urine & poop in the box AND covered. She appears to be more relaxed and peaceful too.

If your cat has anxiety or behavior problems, I strongly recommend you try this product. I also recommend you purchase this product from Amazon rather than your local pet store...youll pay twice as much in the store.
Noticeable Change, especially when the refill ran out!     On: 2007-09-09

We initially bought this product about a month and a half ago in hopes of preventing one of our four cats from leaving "packages" on the carpet and other innapropriate non-litterbox places. Weve been engaged in this battle with her for months, and every time anyone in the house so much as looks at her crosswise, shed go find something to mark, including hopping on the counters and peeing on the toaster, or my purse etc. Wed already removed everything from floors she was previously using to register her protests but every time wed remove something, shed just find something new to target. Additionally our two half-oriental kitties were both showing signs of stress, such as overgrooming and one had asthma-like congestion. Apparently this sometimes happens to the oriental breeds when they are under stress.

We got three of these diffusers for our house, and though the change was somewhat gradual at first, the situation did really improve over the first 4 weeks. The last two weeks, when the diffuser was running low we noticed some backsliding with the one cat using the carpet again. As soon as we replaced the refills again, the issues stopped once more. Additionally, there have been many fewer conflicts between all four of the houses feline occupants, and the cat having the breathing problems has really improved. This product is fantastic!
not a panacea, but . . .     On: 2007-09-05

ive been using the product and have noticed calming (we have 6 cats and it seems the last sent the alpha under the bed. hes improving but its obviously going to be slow.
i just ordered the 6 pack refill package from entirely pets as i refuse to buy anything from amazon as long as they are still exploiting the suffering of animals via animal fighting books, dvds, and whatnot, and the sale of foie gras .....
it was $4 more, but while i dont have a halo by any means, there are things more important than a couple of bucks.
It works like a charm!!!     On: 2007-08-18

I used Comfort Zone when I moved and my 7 cats (2 feral!) were able to handle being kept indoors for 3 weeks so that they would get use to the new surroundings. Usually they could not stand to be next to each other. During this time a friend was visiting me (a half way mark) on her way from Seattle to Los Angeles! Her cat was very distressed after being in her carrier for hours (with a few stops). My friend did not want to let her out because she hissed and growled most of the trip. I told her to set the carrier next to the Comfort Zone and within 15 minutes her cat walked out of the carrier to eat and use the litter box. She was in shock! Later that afternoon we visited the local pet store and bought the spray and defuser for the rest of her trip. Great stuff!
Seems to Help     On: 2007-08-16

The Feliaway plug-in has seemed to help with my problem cat. I plug it in and leave her in the basement at night because I cant watch her 24/7. The product is just right for the size of my basement. I have purchased refills several times. It is much more convenient to use than the spray container.
Cat Joins the Family Again     On: 2007-08-10

Product was minimally effective in a general location (living room), but became miraculous when put in the bedroom where the senior empress cat (of four)had decided to spend the rest of her life under the bed. She had been examined and was not sick. She just didnt like her other cat housemates, especially since a foundling feral kitten joined the family. She still doesnt like them, but she is joining the family more again and coming downstairs for her favorite breakfast treat (licking cereal bowls). I am hopeful that it wont be necessary to keep the Comfort Zone unit plugged in full time after a month or two.
I was skeptical - but this stuff is amazing.     On: 2007-08-07

I have a three-year old male cat who has never gone outside his box, so I never investigated Feliway for that. He is, however, somewhat aggressive. He will stalk your legs and feet and seemingly do a 360-degree turn from sweet kitty into homicidal maniac.

I bought the Feliway diffuser on the advice of my aunt, a veterinarian who has several clinic cats. I cant believe I waited so long! This stuff is phenomenal and worth every penny.

Within 30 minutes of starting to diffuse it, he stopped lurking in his usual "stalking" spots and was very relaxed. I thought maybe this would wear off after awhile - not so! It has been working well for over a month.

Recently, the first refill ran out, and I immediately noticed a change in his behavior. He started stalking peoples legs again, tore up rolls of toilet paper, and was generally aggressive again. As soon as I replaced the Feliway, his behavior mellowed out again.

This product is great for calming down a wild cat! I use a single diffuser in my ~700 sq feet apartment, and I do notice in some areas further away from the diffuser, he can tend to get a little more aggressive. I would recommend putting the diffuser near the area where you have the most problems (a hallway for me). I was really skeptical about how well this product would work, but I am a believer now! I regret waiting so long to purchase it because I thought it was expensive for what it is - it is worth every penny.
Great for reducing cat scratching furniture     On: 2007-08-04

While it looks, from the other reviews, as though feliway may not work all that well for spraying, its done wonders to help my cat from clawing and scratching my upholstered furniture. I can always tell when I need to replace the refill, because hell start scratching again.
Wish it had worked as it did for others     On: 2007-08-03

When I first started to use the diffusers...I have 2 in my home...I thought it seemed to be helping with cats anxiety and spraying. After four months I have replaced them 3 times and dont see any improvement in my two cats. I wish it had worked as we have been in this house for a year and I fear it may smell when we have visitors. I use alot of candles!!
Feliway Diffuser     On: 2007-07-26

Im not so sure about this product. I had the diffuser plugged in my living room and my cat still sprayed within 10 feet of where I had it plugged in at. That kind of discouraged me.
Enables Us to Sleep At Night!     On: 2007-07-21

Our 7 year old cat has a terrible habit of howling for attention. Not something you want to hear at 3am. It was to the point where we had to close our bedroom door, run a fan and wear earplugs in order to get any sleep. The feliway has helped her relax. Although she still howls, it is much better since we introduced the feliway. In fact, whenever she has a particularly bad night Ill go over to the feliway and sure enough its empty. She always lets me know when its time for a refill! Id say its worth the $ to be able to sleep at night.
help for "crazy" cats     On: 2007-07-19

I have a rescue cat (13 years old) who apparently was abused as a tiny kitten. She has had serious problems with nervousness, restlessness, and inappropriate toilet habits ever since we rescued her when she was four months old. The difference in her demeanor since I started using this product three years ago is almost miraculous. She is so much calmer and seems peaceful. If I forget to change the diffuser about every four weeks, I can see changes in her behavior, especially in her elevated frantic attempts to get away from anyone attempting to pet her. She is 13 years old now and is usually a very contented cat.
Miracle!     On: 2007-07-06

I have never been compelled to write a product review before... After 8 months of vet appointments and tests that tuned up nothing, I started looking on the web for alternative treatments for my cats inappropriate elimination. I read all these reviews and decided to give Feliway a try. Since 2 days after installing the diffuser in the room where my cats litter box is, he has not gone outside his box a single time. I still cannot believe it and am back to order the refills. I am still glad I ruled out all medical issues, but am so thrilled he is responding to this. I would recommend it to anyone!
Kitty Calmer     On: 2007-07-03

Feliway is a great product for anxious, hyper cats. It seems to calm and soothe them. Recommended by my vet, I have been using Feliway for my cats fo years now. I keep it near their feeding area, litter area, and sleeping areas. I hope it works as well for your cats as it does for mine.
For our cats, this was key!     On: 2007-06-27

We have seen more mellow behavior, and no Pee issues, so we are keeping up the use of Comfort Zone!
Feliway works     On: 2007-06-27

This product really works. I have 4 cats and without Feliway, my furniture would be in shreds.
VERY HELPFUL     On: 2007-05-14

These plugins have help to prevent my kitties from having outbreaks of the herpes virus as well as aids in de-stressing them. I highly recommend these plugins.
Works as advertised!!     On: 2007-04-11

We have been using the product for several months now, and see a noticable differance in the behavior of our cats. Definately more affectionate towards us, and the stress level is less. The one male had been urinating in a couple areas since a new cat had been introduced, and is no longer doing that. The cost of the product is FAR less than what we paid a professional to get the odor out of the carpet. In case you wondered, we tried several of the advertised odor removal products out there, and none worked well. We will continue to keep 2 Feliway plug-ins going from now on!!
Great product for multi-cat home     On: 2007-04-07

Recently added a rescued female cat to our home (home to three other male cats). Previously, the male cats had been very friendly to other cats, so we didnt anticipate any problems on their end. Unfortunately the female was less than friendly to them. Bought a Feliway, plugged it in, and within several days the hissing and growling had mostly ceased. Thank goodness!!! It doesnt work for all cats, but has definately helped in this case.
Keep that feline feelin' happy!     On: 2007-04-02

I have been very pleased with this product and use it on a regular basis considering I have 2 cats who can get a little "quirky" at times. If you want to keep your kitties happy and not have them harming your furniture and each other than you need Comfort Zone!
Feliway works     On: 2007-03-21

I have 8 cats of various breeds and temperments and had a serious spraying problem for years. About 3 years ago I tried Feliway. It takes a few weeks but it really cut down on the problem. For best results put one in every room your cats can access. Yes, it is expensive (personally I think it is overpriced) but, if you truly love you cats it is worth it to not have to make the decision between them and your carpets or furniture. If the Feliway makers/marketers read this, "Hey, youll sell more of a good product that works if you make it less expensive."
comfort zone     On: 2007-03-11

I thought this stuff would be such a farce.....But it works almost like magic and you dont even know its there. I keep it on hand It last for a month or more but I dont want be without...
Has made a difference     On: 2007-02-20

This seems to be working; have two cats & one has gone berserk! When they are both in the same room where this is plugged in, it is apparent that the product influences them in a positive way. I think its kinda like catnip, works on some cats & maybe not others. And it does not leak or drip, but you do need to read the directions & plug it in right side up.
Truly a Miracle Drug for Cats! (Not really a drug, it's a synthetic cat pheromone)     On: 2007-01-31

Like many of the other reviewers, my cat and I were in desperate times. I had recently bought a new home and moved, so my kitty responded by spraying, scratching, crying, and eventually even pooping. Yuck! So I tried Feliway even though I was very skeptical. I had tried several other things and nothing worked. But let me tell you, this stuff worked. Within hours she started to calm down, stopped spraying and using my house as a litter box, and stopped having her little anxiety attacks. I also changed her litter to Dr. Elseys Cat Attract. The combo worked marvelously. So if you are thinking,"I guess Im going to have to find a new home for my cat," please try Feliway and/or Cat Attract before you decide.
Feliway Diffuser Refill     On: 2007-01-12

I was told to try the Feliway diffuser by my veterinarian b/c my cat has always suffered from an anti-social, grumpy personality. He is one of 4 INDOOR cats in our house and had started to urinate on the rug in my entryway. I put the diffuser in the basement where the litter boxes are to make it a soothing, positive environment for him. Combining the diffuser with a low dose of Prozac has worked wonders. We have an office in the basement too and that is where it is plugged in and he spends pretty much most of his time in the office, sleeping, purring and scrounging love off me when I am down there. He NEVER did that before. We had only heard him purr maybe 4 times in all his 11 years and only when we practically had our ear near his throat! I definitely recommend the Feliway diffuser for anyone with a stressed, ornery or over-excited cat. Keep in mind, not all cats react to the pheromones but the only way to find out is to try the diffuser! Good luck to anyone needing this review - it is really tough to deal with a problematic cat.
My cat is less skittish     On: 2007-01-11

We have 2 cats, one is older and very shy. The older cat was marking, but when I installed this (and cleaned up the problem spots and sprayed the Feliway pheromone in the problem spots) it stopped. When the diffuser ran out, the cat got even more skittish than before, so I put in a refill, and that seemed to help again. So, were hooked.
Geriatric Cat Owner     On: 2007-01-10

After moving to an apartment and adopting a thirteen year old Shih Tsu my seventeen year old cat just quit using the litterbox at all. I treated the carpet with everything imaginable but it wouldnt even dry before she would start using it again. She was also howling during the night for no reason. I was at my wits end. I love my cat but what could I do? I read about Feliway and as a last resort tried it. It has been two months and she hasnt used the carpet once since. I never thought I would be so excited to clean the litterbox. This product has been a miracle for me and my cat. As an unexpected bonus she has completely stopped the night time howling. I have my old sweet kitty back!
Feliway worked for a while     On: 2007-01-10

I bought this in an effort to get my cats (too many) to quit marking and fighting in the house. It seemed to work well for the first couple of months. Then, the cats apparently became habituated to it. I stopped using it after some cat sprayed all over the Feliway diffuser.

I do have to say, however, that my most neurotic cat does visibly relax when hes near the Feliway . . . even somewhat after it got sprayed.

I would recommend this for short term use . . . like when a new cat is introduced to a household with other animals.
It really works     On: 2007-01-09

We used this product to calm an older rescued, timid, newly introduced cat to the household (which contained a rowdy kitten rescued at the same time). The timid cat relaxed, and the 2 cats interactions improved magically- they started grooming each other and sleeping near each other. Our neighbors had an issue with 1 cat bullying another. They used Feliway and it resolved the behavior within several days.

One note on product design: the plug-in is neatly designed so that the prongs swivel to fit your electrical outlets whether theyre vertical or horizontal.
Comfort zone     On: 2007-01-04

It really works in this 3 cat house. The older female has been marking since new younger female arrived. Comfort zone has reduced this behavior to zero. If we are not diligent and applicator runs out it starts over again. Thus we have automatic alarm indicator.
Drawbacks = price and 1 only month applicator.
JIM
OK     On: 2007-01-03

This stuff is really expensive and didnt seem to make much of a difference for my cat. I know its gotten a lot of great reviews, which is why Im a little disappointed and only giving it a 3.
If this can keep MY cat calm, it will work for yours     On: 2007-01-03

Our cat has redirected aggression when he sees or smells another cat on his territory, he gets very upset with US. Since using the Comfort Zone plug-ins with Feliway, he has been calmer and only has had 1 mild episode.
Great for nervous cats     On: 2007-01-03

Our fat calico is a nervous nellie. She needs some assistance calming down & these plug-ins help do just that. We have 3 plug-in units throughout the house & need to refill each one about once a month.
Feliway diffuser does work     On: 2006-12-28

I only gave it 4 stars because, well, I never give anything 5 stars. I have three cats and didnt believe the hype either, but after being indoors with these cats all winter (all male, all feral, all strangers to each other), I can tell you it works! I deliberately did not refill the first one and after two weeks, they were hissing, spitting, and trying to get into brawls. I installed a refill and in a couple days, they were lying around snoozing and purring, no spats.

Thats good enough for me!
Oil Leak     On: 2006-12-01

I purchased the Feliway Comfort Zone plug-in, because my 6 month old kitten has not stopped biting since we adopted her 2 months ago. She is biting my husband, my dog and myself. It has been so bad that my husband had to go to emergency from an infection he received from one of her "pit bull-like" bites. This was recommended by someone at the SPCA and, having tried everything else, we decided to give it a try. It was very disappointing. After a week of having it plugged in, there was no change in our kittens behavior and the unit leaked oil all around the electrical outlet! Fearing that this may cause a fire, we discarded it immediately. That was almost $40 thrown away and we still have a mean little kitty in the house.

Im never sure these things actually work, but with five cats every bit helps.
Soothing cat pheromones     On: 2006-11-04

The product was being used in my vets practice and recommended to me. It was very helpful in comforting my two cats during a prolonged absence (one of them ate so little that the cat-sitter became alarmed, but after realizing the plug-in needed a refill happily reported that her appetite quickly returned). Now my daughter will use it for her cats during her move into a new home.
Feliway is an excellent product     On: 2006-10-29

I have used Feliway products for three years now. They keep both my cats calm. I use the Comfott Zone plug-ins to dispense the synthetic face and neck pheromones into the air continuously. And I put Feliway spray on my clothing so that my male oriental cat does not want to "play bite" or "play claw" me.

It also keeps my nervous little black-coated domestic shorthair peaceful when strangers to her come to the house.

Feliway spray will stop cats from clawing or scratching in inappropriate pkaces, such as furniture or doorframes. They tell in their literature that it will train cats not to spray, also. However I have never had a spraying problem with a cat, so I cant testify to that.

Cats that smell the pheromones from Feliway think that all is well. Its the same as if they had rubbed their neck or head against you.

To my nose, the Comfort Zone is odorless. AFter the alcohol in which the spray vesion is dissolved evaporates, I cannot smell the pheromones from the spray version either.
Great while you're travelling     On: 2006-09-03

My Bengal cat has always been very close to me. Although neutered, hes very energetic and playful. Every time I have to travel, even for a few days, he would become stressed and jealous of any cat or person when I came back. During an 11-day trip, I left Feliway on the whole time. Even though there was somebody to take care of him during this period, when I came back he was very relaxed and at ease. There was a lot of caress requests, but in a very calm way.
does felliway work?     On: 2006-08-22

NOT REALLY SURE. THE CATS SEEM TO LIKE HANGING AROUND THE PLUG-IN, BUT ARE STILL SPRAYING AT THE BOTTOM OF MY STAIRS EVEN WHEN I FATHFULLY USE THE SPRAY ONCE A DAY.
Comfort Zone for Cats     On: 2006-08-10

This product has helped my cat calm down when she was upset with us for being away for a few days. She also heals faster when sick if we use the Comfort Zone. I have recommended this product to others who have cats with strange behaviors or are just upset over a change in their environment.
So far so good, and my house smells much better     On: 2006-07-20

Clem is a mild mannered (lets say wimpy) 3 yr. old neutered male cat, one of five of my rescued kitties. But it was he who was spraying, in the worst of places, mostly on my kitchen counters, stove top, appliances, etc. I had only caught him marking once, but I knew he was the guilty one. He is such a sweet loving boy otherwise, gets along fine with the others, but I was at my wits end, having gone through gallons of Natures Miracle and still finding urine.

Nine days ago, I saw a Feliway plug-in on sale at the feed store. Id heard about it on animal shows, so decided to give it a try. So far so good! I havent found any urine outside of the litter box. As for Clems behavior, he seems LESS wimpy, and more assertive. He even chased off a grey fox the other day! Maybe he was just really neurotic and insecure before, having been through several homes, and rescued from the pound at the last minute. My other cats are all fine also. One female used to pick on another very shy female, but I havent noticed any of that either the past week. Im definitely going to buy refills. Hope it keeps working so well! If only we humans had such an easy solution for our behavior problems!
Feliway For Cats     On: 2006-07-10

Feliway For Cats works great in our multi-cat household. It helps all the cats get along.
Amazing Product!!!     On: 2006-07-02

I have a 3 year old neutered male orange tabby. He was a sweet boy until I let him near the parakeet cage. He pulled the cage over and I screamed (I was visualizing the cat and keet getting killed). Both parakeet and cat survived, but Pumpkin was scared out of his mind. After that trauma, he was very aggressive towards me. I could not go to the bathroom or kitchen without being cornered. He made angry cat sounds from under the bed at night and I had to lock him out of the room. Feliway Plug In and Spray was recommended by my vet and turned him back into my sweet heart in less than an hour. I wish I had found this product before he bit me and I lost two weeks of work. In his defense, I knew he was having a temper fit and I should have not tried to touch him, and as a result I got bit hard. But we have forgiven each other. Besides the Feliway product, my vet told me to isolate Pumpkin if he becomes aggressive for 24 hours with only his litter box, water, and food. That will teach him to not abuse me. Also in the cat world, if a cat bites or man handles another cat there are physical consequences. Not to abuse the cat, but treat him like another cat would treat him and hell get the message not to bite you. But the Feliway saved my baby because I really thought I would have to euthanize him due to his aggressiveness. So I am a satisfied customer.
Happy cat factory     On: 2006-05-19

In a household with 24 cats, (thats not a typo, there ARE 24) we are the perfect test ground for cat products. We bought the feliway spray, and a plug in to try to calm a couple of our more high strung cats. Most of them were feral at one time, a couple of them abandon and abused. I really had my doubts, but I admit Ive seen a huge change in some of them. Our poor big Ghost has lived in the rafters for the two years hes lived here. The only time he would come down from the hutch would be to run to his box...and he would always be chased by two or three of the other cats. The stress caused I.B.S. problems, every two to three months he was on antibiotics. The day after putting the plug in in the kitchen, he ventured down to floor level, and went into the bathroom to nap. That was the first time he ever slept at floor level. That was two weeks ago, and each day he tries something new. He sleeps with my husband every night now, just loves the bed. Today I found him sleeping on the bed with 4 or 5 of the other cats...some of them his old enemies! He is our best sucess, several of the others are less aggressive, especially towards Ghost. There are still some small problems, but I am really thrilled with this product. Im going to order my refill today.
I Wish I'd Bought Feliway A Long Time Ago...     On: 2006-05-17

To the Feliway product description information above, I would also add, "Aids in calming cats...who manage stressful chronic health conditions."

My 4yr. old neutered male cat manages several chronic health conditions, which at times create seemingly unrelated behavioral issues, when flare ups occur that jangle his nerves. When his IBD is not well controlled, my otherwise angelic cat becomes stressed out & does deadly things - chewing through power cords, consuming inedible objects, eating plants untouched for years, climbing to & jumping/falling from extremely high places aggravating his arthritis, & more. When hes not feeling well, acting-out is his way of externalizing his bad nerves & telling me, "I dont feel well, help me".

So I bought a Feliway Diffuser for him for his birthday a few weeks ago, & the change in my cats behavior was noticeable within the first few hours after plugging it in. Initially, I noticed a personality change - sort of a mellowing effect, reflecting a more leveled out & increased general sense of well-being. I see less lethargy, & more interest in social interaction, his environment, & play. Its a subtle overall field effect, but his happiness & joy somehow seem happier. Ive noticed Ive had an easier time with giving him his regular medications & brushing his teeth. Its a synthetic feline facial pheromone, but I call it "the airborne feline prozac"... And without putting more chemicals into his system that dont belong in the body, & their problematic side effects. My cat seems to appreciate the general change in the overall atmosphere of his home, & occasionally, he even sleeps underneath the diffuser.

The benefits my cat experiences also pass on to me - because if he is less stressed & upset, & doing fewer life threatening things in reaction to his nerves - then Im less stressed out as well. Id rather buy him Feliway, than spend money on veterinary visits & additional medication to deal with new problems he creates when hes stressed. And there have been a lot of them.

Feliway contains an odorless oil by human standards, & it does not upset my cats severe asthma or allergies, nor my own more moderate conditions. In fact, I am wondering that if hes less stressed out psychologically - & in turn physiologically - if there might even be less asthma & less digestive upset due to a reduction in the cycle of internalized stress. And if it improves his overall quality of life, Id much rather buy him peace instead of more doctors...

I live in a small 1 person unit, & 1 diffuser does seem to cover the entire place. I unplug ours when the window is open, & plug it back in when its closed, while I sleep or am away, & any time I think he might benefit from it. The plastic bottle can be unscrewed from the plug-in unit & recapped to preserve it until your next use. This may help to extend the 6 week life span recommended in the packaging information, well find out. I would also add that the diffuser gets warm, but not hot to the touch, & certaintly not hot enough to burn a hand or singe a whisker or fur. I have handled the diffuser many times during use, & I have no fear of allowing my cat to be directly near it.

The only negative aspect of this product so far as I can determine is how much youll want to kick yourself for waiting to buy it for long as you did... As a pet store employee recently told me, "It is one of the few behavior mod products for cats on the market that actually does work." While there is no substitute for building & maintaining a solid, trusting relationship with your pet - or for seeking competent veterinary care - Feliway does seem like it could be a great adjunct to it.

Feliway gets 2 Thumbs & Paws Up from kitty & me. =^..^=
excellent results     On: 2006-05-17

Had 2 very standoffish rescue cats and brought in a 3rd stray.
After plugging these in, my two rescue cats dramatically improved in being responsive and affectionate and accepted the 3rd cat much easier, hissing and growling ceased.
Love it!
Seems to work, temporarily     On: 2006-05-12

Feliway seems to work temporarily. By the second day my aggressive cats seemed to be somewhat conked out, and slept more. That was not a bad thing. But the effect seems to wear off after a few weeks of use, I think the cats acclimate to it. That may account for the diversity of opinion as to its effectiveness.

After six months without it, Im going to try again, Im assuming it will work for a few more weeks before they accommodate to it again.
The Last Resort..... and it Worked!     On: 2006-03-01

The problem: my roommate brought three young male cats (all neutered, but after puberty) into the home with my two 6.5 y/o twins (spayed young), which Id had since they were 3.5 weeks old. At first they seemed to be adjusting just fine, but suddenly both my cats retreated to my bedroom and refused to come out.
In the past, my cats had spent 5 years with another cat, seven months with another, a few more with another, about a month with 2 miniature pinschers and many weekends with my sisters 80 lb. Weimaraner. So they had been around a large variety of other animals. It was baffling at first, but in watching the behaviors of the male cats, they were attempting to go through the motions of mating. The youngest was just incessant with chasing my cats and finally, one developed a stress-related UTI and I had to give her an antibiotic for 37 days. And there was talk about putting my cats on Prozac... an idea I didnt much like.
I tried several other herbal remedies that were suggested, but they were useless. Well, catnip helped a little, but wore off too fast. Feliway was suggested by a friend with cats. I had been reluctant to try it because of the price but I ended up getting a great deal. I bought one for the boys area and one for the girls room.
I began to see subtle changes in all of the cats within the first 3 days. After a month, I am definitely purchasing the refills. One of my cats has started venturing out of my room on her own and the other enjoys coming out if I carry her to her "safe chair" by my computer and lock out everyone but her sister. A month ago, I couldnt get her out from under the bed.
I had been quite skeptical and feared that I was wasting a lot of money, but it made a tremendous difference. The problem isnt 100% solved, but it is so much better, I cant imagine living without Feliway!
Seems to be working...     On: 2006-02-27

So far so good. My littermate adults were leaving me "gifts" when any environmental changes distressed them (my vacations, new furniture or bedding, etc.) Its possible there were other issues involved but I dont think this product hurt. Id lost 2 duvets (feather bed and down comforter) to marking, as well as having to launder countless items depending on stress levels. I use the diffuser in the largest room of the house, near to where they each like to snooze. I use the feliway spray to mark new items I buy, and sometimes just when changing bedding. Theyre curious about the smell and then settle in fine. Id recommend using the diffuser as well as the spray when needed. For highstrung felines (as one of mine is) it appears to be a good product line.
Works for us!     On: 2006-02-07

We recently bought a house that was previously inhabited by a cat who urinated all over the basement. Unfortunately for us, this brought out the worst in my normally litter trained cat. We found her urinating outside of the litter box on many occasions. After taking her to the vet and finding out that there was no medical reason for this, our vet recommended feliway. We have been using it for 3 months now and there are no problems, just a happy kitty!
Works Great     On: 2005-11-08

I have six cats and the oldest isnt really happy with all the new additions. Using Feliway has been a big help. It has stopped him from spraying when he got mad at us for bringing in others. I have two units in my house, at one time I had three plug-ins and tried to only have one, but that didnt work. Wish it wasnt so costly, but it works. Dont buy in a local pet store, they charge almost double. Buy on-line.
Diffuser works, but now I'll try the Feliway Spray     On: 2005-07-24

I found the diffuser in a store and thought it was quite expensive, but with two male cats (both neutered!) marking territory in my little house I was desperate to try anything. Its really hard to judge how well the product works, but I believe it helped calm down my more anxious cat and it seemed to me that spraying occurred much less. I only gave it four stars because spraying didnt stop altogether. My cats seem to mark the same places over and over, so Im going to purchase the spray to use in those locations - fingers crossed!
I don't think it works.     On: 2005-07-03

I used it for almost three months, combined with the sprays, I didnt see one iota of change in any of my five cats. The one who started spraying still sprays and the nervous one is still nervous.

my cat has had problems for almost a year now, and the vet was at the end of her recommendations other than an expensive trip to a university for a complete workup. in desperation, i tried feliway (i was pretty skeptical). within hours, i noticed that he had stopped pacing the house, and now (two weeks later) he has returned to very much like his old self. hes laying in the bed with me and my husband again, and is content to lay around the house, as any normal cat should do, instead of pacing back and forth from litterbox to litterbox.

additionally, chase has addisons disease, and the calming effect has reduced his need for long-term steroids. ive been able to wean him off of them completely over the past two weeks. so now here i am, shopping for a refill! i paid $50 in the pet store for a plug-in and one bottle, and they sold the refills for $20, just to give you an idea of what this stuff costs in the "real world." i think ill stick to buying it online. :)

good luck with your kitties!

miracles do happen...

The scenario: my 6 months old kitten adopted from a garbage pit 4 months ago, for many unpreventable medical and physiological reasons reverted back to her feral state; fearful, crying, and creating all-night insanity, making sleep impossible for me, the other cats, and perhaps the neighbors as well.
Most alarming was that the stressful condition she was in altered her appetite, and the most she would consume was some warm milk.
I didnt want to add to the medications she was already taking, with a prescription of something like Diazepam (Valium), so decided to give "Comfort Zone" a try.

I noticed an improvement within 8 hours, and by 36 hours, all her feral symptoms had vanished, and she was calm, slept through the night, ate, and was her charming, cuddly self again. During the first 36-72 hour period, there were some "extras", like her rubbing against my legs while I was standing in the kitchen, but now things are back to normal, and she is behaving the way one would expect a healthy 6 month old to act.
The last month has been quite an ordeal, but with the help of "Comfort Zone," I feel as though a miracle has taken place, with harmony and peace back in our humble but cozy abode.

This 48 oz. bottle lasts approximately 4 weeks, covers about 650 sq. ft. and is recommended for all situations that cause stress in a cat, from new environments to the addition of a new pet in the family. It will also treat "urine marking," another symptom my kitty was exhibiting, as she would spray against the wall instead of urinating into the litter, a nasty habit that required a lot of cleaning up and that "Comfort Zone" has cured.
Completely odorless, the feline facial pheromone that is the active ingredient does not affect humans, except to improve their lives by making their fur friends happier.
I will be buying refills every month, making sure I never run out of this amazing product.

LOVE this product!     On: 2005-02-20

I have three cats: 2, 10 year olds and a 10 month old. The older male was urinating outside of his box and the older female was not very sociable when children were around. Both problems started long before the kitten came. I started using Feliway after a vet visit confirmed nothing was medically wrong with the male. Within a month, after the carpets were also throughly cleaned, the male was using his box again! The female started to visit more often and has even sat on the kids laps! The older male cat also plays a lot with the kitten. Everyone is getting along really well! I know its the Feliway and I wont stop using it EVER!
