 Really works!Dec 03, 2007
By Happy Shopper
I wrote a review for the feliway plug in, which I have been extremely pleased with. I ordered the feliway spray as a 'reinforcement' to keep my hallway poop and pee free. I have a purebred female persian cat who is 10 years old who can be a little moody when something bugs her. She has peed in my upstairs hallway in the past and nothing will stop a cat once they decide they want to mark. I tore up the carpet and pad, used every enzime product there is on the market (they did not work), used vinegar and water (got rid of the smell but not the problem), treated the subfloor of the upstairs and used kilz oil based primer spray to lock in any remnants of the kitty pee. I finally had a pee free house, so I put in a berber like carpet with stainmaster and a waterproof carpet pad. Everything was fine but one day I thought I smelled something nasty upstairs, and lo and behold I caught my cat peeing again out of the box. She was examined by the vet and no health problems were present-the vet chalked it up to 'surface preference', which I did not believe because I have carpet in my family foom which is pee-free. I chalked it up to a fussy cat with some emotional problems....she also began to poop in the hallway as well (not a nice thing to wake up to)....I found the feliway plug in on amazon after a google search and decided to give it a try....I used the plug-in in the middle of the hallway and miraculously the cat has not peed or pooped anywhere except her litter box! I am in total shock! I read up some more on the feliway and decided to try the spray when I made my next order of the plug in refills. I spritz the three spots DAILY where she peed/pooped before and now she won't even think of getting near the corner where she did her bad deeds. I don't know how it works but it does, even on an emotional 10 year old kitty. I noticed she is calmer and more loving as well. Amazon has the best price when it comes to the spray and the plug in and refills. Oh yeah, I also had family in over Thanksgiving stay with me for 5 days, which would normally cause a poop or pee outburst after day three or four. I did not have one incident during or after the visit! I wish I had discovered feliway years ago-it would have saved me a lot of hassle and cleaning and $$$$. It is definitely worth the money!

Life saver and aromatherapy for cats.Mar 13, 2007
By C. Scagliola
Hi Everyone,
Last Friday Tazz (our male cat) was attacked in our yard by a loose dog, needless to say I rushed him to the hospital Friday afternoon and upon the initial examination, the vet did not find any external damage. The next day I gave Tazz a bath because he was covered in urine from the attack and that is when I noticed a lump on his right rear hip. I took him to another emergency hospital at which they did an ultra sound of his hip and found he has a hematoma / fluid in his hip.
The vet gave me some anti-inflammatory liquid to give him but he is still in pain and you can see it when he tries to jump or climb. In addition, his whole demeanor has changed to being scared of the slightest noise or movement. He hides frequently and does not talk / meow anymore.
My Veterinarian recommended Feliaway Spray, which the Veterinarian said, would help with his anxiety in addition to helping him heal from the emotional trauma of the attack. I received the Feliaway today in the mail and after spraying it on a couple of places where Tazz frequents, I must say his attitude is very much improved. I would HIGHLY recommend this product even though it is a bit pricey it just takes a WEE BIT for it to have an effect. Call it aromatherapy for cats, whatever the case if can help a cat after a dog attack then I say it's a product that deserves high marks.

It works but...Oct 04, 2007
By jazzymom
You have to rule out other things first. If your cat has an underlying medical condition that needs to be treated first or nothing will work. Most cats do not eliminate outside of the litterbox if they are healthy. In fact, over 90% of inappropriate elimination can be directly attributed to illness or a medical condition. The first step needs to be a visit to your vet for a urinalysis. Feliway is for the behavioral aspect. Once your cat is healthy again it may be habit to go in the spot where they chose. When a cat feels pain while urinating he begins to associate that pain with the litterbox itself. That's why they go somewhere else.
What Feliway does is mimics facial pheremones. Ever seen your cat rubbing his cheek on the wall? He is marking it to say it's a safe place. That's what Feliway mimics. Cats generally will not urinate where they facially mark.
As for my experience...I have a cat who has a stress-related bladder condition. He gets bacterial flare ups when he's under a lot of stress. Stress often triggers UTI, FLUTD flare ups, among other things. He is being treated for the medical side but still wants to go outside the box. I clean the areas where he goes on the floor with an enzyme cleaner then I spray with Feliway. As long as I'm consistent (spraying at least 2 times per day) he doesn't go there. I also use Comfort Zone diffusuers full-time. Yes, they are pricey but it is well worth it for me to have happy kitties.
Bottom line, this stuff works! It may not be the miracle you're hoping for and it may take a while but it does work. Like I said, you have to consider all factors though such as your cat's health and making sure you eliminate the underlying urine odor. There are products on the market specifically designed for cleaning cat urine. Use those because you may not smell the urine after using a common household cleaner but that doesn't mean your cat can't and until you get rid of that odor they will keep going in that spot.

 help for spraying catJul 07, 2011
By Annie
I am not sure how well the Feliway worked because I did a whole bunch of things to try to get my cat past his issue. I used the Feliway to spray the wall where he liked to pee, but I made a big mistake at first that you want to avoid:
DON'T WASH THE WALL before or after you use the Feliway spray. That's right, don't wash the wall where your cat peed on the wall. I'm serious. I know that sounds gross, but the enzymatic cleaner you should be using on your carpet to clean up urine will destroy the scent of the Feliway just like it destroys the order of the urine, and you'll be wasting all the money you spent on the Feliway. Just wipe the wall with WATER, and then spray the Feliway there. But do clean the carpet/floor thoroughly, since you won't be spraying Feliway there anyway.
For anyone else struggling with a spraying cat, here's a comprehensive list of everything I did to FINALLY fix my cat's issue. I can't tell you which things worked and which things didn't, but if you're desperate like I was, you'll try anything:
1. Take him to the vet to get a urinalysis and make sure he doesn't have a medical problem that's causing his bad behavior. Urinary tract issues cat be VERY serious! My cat's urinalysis cost $70.
2. Get a good, wide-bulb UV light (like Stink-Finder), not the flashlight-shaped kind, and use it in the dark at night to find exactly where your cat has been peeing on the floor, walls, etc. About $20
3. Buy a BIG bottle/jug of Nature's Miracle "Just for Cats Advanced" or "Urine Destroyer" and pour a ton of it on your carpet over the stains. Don't spray, POUR. Really soak the carpet. Wait at least 5 minutes before you blot it up. If you leave any urine behind, the cat will know that that's a good place to pee. About $10 per bottle.
4. Just wipe the wall where he peed with water. Then spray Feliway there twice a day, every day. About $20 per bottle.
5. Take off his collar and spray it thoroughly with Feliway too. When it dries, put the collar back on him. Do this every two days or so.
6. Increase your cat's "vertical territory" by investing in a cat tree if you don't have one (really expensive, unfortunately, but cats adore them), or adding one of those window seat things. I got a window seat at Petco for $30.
7. Add another litter box to your home, and put it in a different room. Even if you already have one for each cat, like I did. Having 4 litter boxes in a 2 bedroom, 3-cat apartment isn't ideal, but it beats pee on my walls. Use those big plastic storage containers instead of actual litter boxes, they're a lot cheaper. I got one at Target for $6.
8. If you have multiple cats, your sprayer might be having an issue with one of them, even if they got along well before. If one of the cats was added to the household more recently, that's probably who it is. Watch them closely to see if your cat is either picking on, or being picked on by another cat. Even if they aren't fighting, watch for staring. That's what was happening in my house. You'll need to separate the cats and re-introduce them, as described in the books "Cat vs. Cat" and "Starting From Scratch."
9. Buy some of those corrugated cardboard scratchers from the pet store and line the wall with them in the area where he's peeing. This will encourage him to mark his scent there by scratching instead of peeing. About $10 each.
10. Start feeding him in the places where he's been peeing. Leave a small bowl of dry food there. Cats usually don't want to pee where they eat.
11. Play with him and give him treats in his pee-problem areas 2 or 3 times a day. I played with my sprayer for a few minutes in the morning before work, in the evening when I got home, and again right before bed. If you have other cats, lock them in a separate room while you play with him in his problem areas. Everybody can be present for the treats though. This teaches him that this is a central location in his territory, not the perimeter, and it teaches him to associate the area with positive things rather than threats to his territory.
12. Do all of those things every day for at least a month. Yes, it's a lot of work, but you wanted a cat. And it beats pee on the walls!
Other Good Ideas That Didn't Apply to My Situation:
1. If your cat isn't neutered, there's your problem. Get him neutered.
2. If your cat goes outside, start keeping him in. If he feels threatened by something outside, he might start spraying in the house to protect his territory from the threat.
3. If he's spraying by a window or door, he might be seeing something out there that's spooking him, like another cat. Block his view out that window, or put cat repellent outside.
4. What are your litter boxes like? Maybe they're too dirty, maybe they're too small for him to fit in comfortably, or maybe one of your other cats won't allow him to use them. Also, covered litter boxes are much more convenient for us humans, but a lot of cats feel too trapped in them. Get a storage box with really high sides instead for messy cats.
I hope this helps! Good Luck!

Feliway SprayDec 02, 2007
By Suzy shopper
"SEJ"
If you have a cat that is nervous or aggressive, I sincerely recommend this product. I spray it in the areas where my cat sleeps or sits a lot and after a while, he calms down, is much more relaxed and happy. My cat is extremely aggressive, I almost got rid of him because he was so difficult to live with. After using this product, I was able to become friends with him. Now he is my buddy. I still rely on this product though because he still has the aggressive streak that pops up when I am not using Feliway. It lasts a long time, I would say 1 bottle lasts me
6 months or more.
