Feliway MultiCat Calming Pheromone Diffuser Refill

We first tried FELIWAY with our cat Paulie, who had previously lived on the streets and arrived at our home extremely unsettled. He was very vocal and constantly seemed anxious to go back outside. To our surprise, he calmed down very quickly after we plugged in the diffuser. The change was so noticeable that it almost seemed unbelievable. The first refill lasted us nearly a month. We mainly used it at night, although there were times when we left it plugged in almost 24 hours a day. When the refill ran out and we stopped using it, we noticed that Paulie began vocalizing insistently and trying to get outside again.

I was skeptical when I purchased 2 diffusers but I was willing to do anything to help transition a new kitty into our home. I have a year old outdoor rescue, at 8 weeks, no mom or litter mates in site. He is very needy. He is soo loving and you can feel it, but I felt he needed a sister/brother and wanted that transition to happen smoothly and continue to. After finding our new kitty, followed all the steps to introduce them. Everything went so well! I was thrilled! As time went on I noticed moments of major tension and anger not only towards the new kitty but towards me as well. Scary lash outs, like a wild animal.

We have been using these for several years now after the vet recommended them for our multi-cat household as one cat in particular was having some anxiety and territorial issues. There is no scent to these which is nice so it doesn't interfere with any existing home scents. Very unassuming appearance, pet friendly, just plugs into an outlet of your choice. Color is very neutral so it doesn't stand out. None of our cats showed any allergies or adverse reactions to them in fact, after about three weeks we started to notice a difference in how the cats were interacting with each other. There was also a decrease in inappropriate urination.

We got an inrductory kit and it seems to be making a difference. Our timid cat must have been excessively grooming herself in private, or so we think. The fur on her back half sides was thin and the vet thought the hair follicles were being licked off. After we started using this the fur has come back. This is our timid cat that mostly avoids human contact. Our other cat is outgoing and friendly. We got both cats at 6-8 weeks of age from a colony. There's a good chance they are of different parents. Dunno. This stuff is pricey but is probably worth it.

Finally, I have found the product I was looking for.I think the folks at my vet's office were not clear on the differences between this Multi-Cat version and the regular Feliway, because I kept buying the regular Feliway there (upon staff recommendation) and it was not exactly what my cats needed. I could notice some changes in their behavior (for the better), and it helped more than the Comfort Zone product (which, by my understanding, uses a different concentration of pheromone and a slightly different temperature for heating).

This diffuser really saved my sanity! When I had to take 1 cat to the vet, then returned home an hour later and they acted like they'd never seen or known each other! It's called NRA: Non Recognition Aggression! It was screaming catfights until I plugged this into the wall outlet...1/2 hour later, the pheromones kicked in, and then they were licking each other like nothing ever happened
