 miracles do happen... February 20, 2005

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 didn't 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.

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. he's 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 addison's disease, and the calming effect has reduced his need for long-term steroids. i've 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 i'll stick to buying it online. :)
good luck with your kitties!

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 it's the Feliway and I won't stop using it EVER!

In a household with 24 cats, (that's 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 I've seen a huge change in some of them. Our poor big Ghost has lived in the rafters for the two years he's 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. I'm going to order my refill today.
I Wish I'd Bought Feliway A Long Time Ago... May 17, 2006

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 he's not feeling well, acting-out is his way of externalizing his bad nerves & telling me, "I don't feel well, help me".
So I bought a Feliway Diffuser for him for his birthday a few weeks ago, & the change in my cat's 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. It's a subtle overall field effect, but his happiness & joy somehow seem happier. I've noticed I've had an easier time with giving him his regular medications & brushing his teeth. It's a synthetic feline facial pheromone, but I call it "the airborne feline prozac"... And without putting more chemicals into his system that don't 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 I'm less stressed out as well. I'd rather buy him Feliway, than spend money on veterinary visits & additional medication to deal with new problems he creates when he's stressed. And there have been a lot of them.
Feliway contains an odorless oil by human standards, & it does not upset my cat's severe asthma or allergies, nor my own more moderate conditions. In fact, I am wondering that if he's 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, I'd 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 it's 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, we'll 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 you'll 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. =^..^=
