I would imagine they are still settling in and working out the lay of the land as it can take cats months to feel properly settled, I too would get a feliway plug in and just see how they get on, when growing up I had three cats that all managed to co-exist despite not liking each other, they would have the occasional hiss and swipe but they found a balance that worked, fingers crossed it will just sort itself out and that Molly can stay.

Hello, I would love it is Molly can stay as she is a real character. It will break my heart to let her go and in two weeks' we coudl have bonded even more.

How big an area does the feliway cover? The cost could be prohibitive as we have a large, open-plan house.

In normal circumstances I would feel able to devote more time to this but I ended up at A&E again last night and it is just rubbish timing.

It says 50-70 square metres but one plugged in in the area where they spend most of their time should do and one is better than none Vetuk is very reasonable on price and once you've brought the diffuser then you only have to shell out for the refills, but definitely give it a go.

Thanks, Greyhare.

Are Feliways for life or do you only need them for a few months?

It depends I used mine for 6 months because it took a long time for my little girl to feel settled and she is an absolute stress ball she came from the Cats Protection and was a neglect case, try it and see how you get on it's not instant instant as soon as you turn it on but you see a very small subtle change that they are just a little more confident and relaxed about life but some people never stop using them.

Thanks, Greyhare.

Just seen on some US sites that Feliway diffusers are regarded as a fire hazard and that some people have had near misses with fires starting!

The spray apparently contains ethanol which may not be handy with the children around (bet we couldn't use it on our wooden floors either).
