Hi all,
I had our newly adopted Taz in the vets the other day and got chatting to a few people there. One lady suggested that we try a Feliway diffuser to help her settle in, especially as she has a run of vet appointments still to get through for booster shots and dental problems. I've looked it up online and the reviews seem positive but it's a lot of money for it if it doesn't work! Has any one tried it and do you think it was worth the money?
Thanks in advance!

hi claire, ive used them several times and found they are brilliant. i would really recommend them . we use them all the time for travelling to shows to. good luck.............CHRIS

Fab! Sounds like it will be worth trying some. Which would you recomend, the spray or the diffuser (or both!)?

we use the diffuser as sometimes the younger cats bullied our old girl. they pretty much stopped doing this as soon as we got the diffuser. wish we had found out about it earlier!

They work very well, if used all the time though i think the cats get used to it, so try to use it for when you need it most

the spray for carriers is good too, though with that you have to let it stand for 15 mins before putting cat in as it's alcohol based and this wears off after that amount of time so the feliway can work it's magic x

If it works for you and your cat look out for them online too, often cheaper than the vets

I've got a tom who has always been very nervous, he's been on tranquilisers for it in the past and Feliway didn't solve his spraying problems. However, it did work on our other cats who don't have such severe stress problems. We used it when we were moving or on holiday. You can get the smaller sprays that are quite cheap just to try it. I think it depends very much on the cat.

I use the spray and a plugin as one of mine is a bit nuts. He is easily stressed and chatters a lot/bordering distressing noises. He is relatively new and so I have tried various things, hours have been irratic at home so he gets a fair amount of upheavel this year. So I used on and didn't notice any major change. Then as it starte to run out he was going nuts, only letting me get 2-3 hours sleep a night. Howling, scratching, just running around like a nutjob. I got a new one, and also the spray. I went mental with the spray and although that night he were still a nightmare, he was calmer, and the next day, and since then, total bliss all night long That was 2 weeks ago and there has bee a CONSIDERABLE change in his behaviour. It may well just be the spray as the corner howling/scratchin/worshipping was pretty much daily. It's happened about twice. Both have pretty much stopped scratching the bed which was otherwise happening 10 times a day.
