  It worked!

  I really appreciate all the prior reviews on the warnings. Taking that into consideration, I went ahead and bought this product and decided to only plug it in when I am home and not continually. I was almost desperate since I recently moved, unknowingly, near a clay shooting site and we also get frequent thunder storms here. Since at my new location (a different state than our former "one weather" in California), one of my kitties, Aiden, has been having a rough time of it. My heart was breaking for my poor little boy. He hid then slept most of the time. The Feliway spray did nothing. Well since using the Feliway Diffuser, within a couple days, I got my darling boy back. I'd say it's working about 95% effective. He's out more, wants to play and cuddle, talking to me more and when the clay shooters are doing their thing, he still hides but then comes out shortly thereafter and hangs out with everyone and even sleeps belly up or in the kitty tower instead of under the bed all day. In addition, all my cats seem happier and more at ease with each other...less pettiness. On the safety issue: I'm careful not the tilt the diffuser so no oil spills over and I have no other cords above it and I only plug it in during the day and unplug it at night or when stepping out keeping in mind what others have noted on the hazards of this product. I hope Feliway makes a safer product or a battery option because it has really helped Aiden and all the kits in my household and my heart no longer is broken :)

  Happy boys

  Cats are emotional thermometers in a house whether it is good or bad . We adopted a dog and we had two shepherds already . We also had an elderly cat that was slowly heading to the happy hunting ground . There were lots of changes and one of my cats just was having a hard time with it and that led to some pooping outside the litter box (gads) and on my couch !! We took the cats to the vet and ruled out any medical issues . Bought an additional cat tree and purchased this product at the advice of the vet . I believe all these changes has helped the cat . We bought a new couch and took no chances (training mats) . No pooping outside the box . But , we think the multifaceted approach was the way to go . Also, when I get this out of the box and refill it , the cats are all over it . Rubbing their faces in it etc . I have one in the bedroom because they sleep there , one in the family room that has the couch upstairs , and will get one for the office where they spend the day . I am sold but don’t think this cures all. It is one piece of a puzzle .

  My cat immediately was pretty okay with it

  My cat doesn't like anything, but she was immediately curious about this. I found she spend more time in the open when it's running. It hasn't had a huge impact on her overall skittishness, but i have seen improvements her general mood, especially during the day where she can lay in front of it for hours. I like that it's unassuming and not actively stimulating or agitating. Very simple, subtle and easy. I do not think it's necessarily a good deal, particularly because it's a consistent investment for oil. Because i can't necessarily recommend this for any specific agitation, it's hard to justify such a cost for all pet owners. I think if the device is $20-25 and the refills are closer to $10-15, i think it's a much easier recommendation. Even if you do find this works with your cat, it is still a questionable price point. At the very least, it's one more way i have to be attentive with my friend, which is always important and valuable in pet products. I like that the enclosure is safe for her, and the nature of the product means she checks it out once or twice but is mostly just enjoying its presence.

  Except for the laser green light.... its awesome

  So, with regard to the purpose - this has calmed all the cats so we can actually sleep at night. We have two visiting cats along with our cats, and needless to say, there was some drama. This worked. HOWEVER, the green light they have added to the plug is so bright, you may as well call it a night light. Its REALLY bright. I put three pieces of painters tape over the light, and it was still too bright!! Luckily, I found an old plug and swapped them out, so we can now actually sleep. I don't even understand why they would add the light. Not needed, wasted expense.

  Saved our cat!!!!

  Y’all- I was skeptical. Let me give you the background info: my daughter’s cat has peed all over EVERYTHING. She’s a rescue and the vet speculated the house soiling behavior was due to extreme stress and anxiety in her previous home. The peeing was so bad, we had to store a lot of my daughter’s belongings in her closet to protect her things. The cat lives in my daughter’s room (vet recommended because of poor integration with other pets and house soiling). We also bought a loft bed and bed tent because the cat would pee all over the previous bed!!!! I was at my wits end and wanted to rehome the cat but I felt so torn. AND THEN the vet recommended FELIWAY *cue the cheesy angelic harp music as the little diffuser descends upon a cloud into my rage shaking and desperate hands* And like I said, I was skeptical but within a week the peeing everywhere stopped and we noticed she was peeing in her litter boxes! She seemed happier! The price seems a bit steep to pay for the refill monthly but both my daughter and her cat are happy so it’s a fine compromise.
