Hiya, i have one but only had it on overnight, i didn't have it on in the daytime, it didn't get hot though. It's french so it comes with and english adaptor too. Didn't make much of a difference to my cats behaviour though

 

I do, because one of my cats gets nervous and aggressive, and Feliway does help somewhat. I've had it plugged in for some months now. It does get warm, a bit warmer than cat body temperature, but not hot. It's never too warm to take out with my bare hands.

 

I have one for my stud boy when the girls are on call ... Helps loads , never had a problem with them getting hot ...

 

I do as Bentley is scared of his own shadow and it seems to help

 

I've had one plugged in for ages, perfectly safe and it definitely works for my little girl!

 

We have used them for the last 8 years, plugged in all the time. They can get a bit warm but I was assuming they are meant to get warm to release the pheromones. I can tell when it has run out as Bob is more noisy than usual, and more likely to bite me.

I also use the spray in the carrier for him when we go to the vet, or if he is being particularly dangerous to my ankles.

 

I got one with the arrival of my new stud boy to settle my girls. Absolutely useless! I've heard many more positive reports with using Pet Remedy.

 

It does get hot. Jiskefet suggested that you could put it on a timer 2 hrs on, 2 hrs off and make it last twice as long which seems a very good idea and may help with the heat also.

I used it during our introduction period and it seemed to work, I know people say that it doesn't work on all cats, and Pet Remedy may work for them (as Carly says)

Hi Kath, I've used 6 successive Feliway plug-ins on an extension lead into a single socket. I don't use any other electrical equipment on this lead and, yes, it does seem to get very hot as it has to be on 24/7. But so far nothing untoward has happened so I just keep an eye on it. Sometimes I get anxious and turn it off for 10 minutes but I don't think that is necessary. Feliway really does its job though, doesn't it ?

Hi Pet Remedy is made from essential oils which are toxic to kitties Carly.

Reall? Can you tell me more? It's widel ysed, and I've not heard a bad report yet.

 

I used them when our first stray cat moved in and she was quite nervous. it worked wonders and we certainly knew when they were not on or had run out as she got anxious again.
I'm thinking of getting another now we have another stray until they are both settled fully together!

Hi Carly, Cats can't metabolise essential oils properly .. it builds up in their system

Have a look here:
Essential Oils and Cats: A Potentially Toxic Mix!
and maybe a google search might shed further light.

We have one Pet Remedy and Two Feliways running, and we have a very laid back calm household.

The report you site is from 2006!

 

I have 3 plugged in - I honestly have no idea if they help the cats but they somehow make me feel better (as irrational as that sounds!).

The Pet Remedy site does say it works on humans as well, hehehe

Hmmm sorry that's out an old message .. but IMO and based on my research I have no reason to believe that kitties have since learned to metabolise them ...

I prefer to be safe than sorry and when there are better choices I go for them.
People here say Feliway plug in is effective -- so we're just awaiting our delivery

I use the spay once a day and it seems to calm them down

 

Interesting. It doesn't list any of the oils I know to be in Pet Remedy, but interesting none the less! Thank you.
