Feliway® is a synthetic form of feline cheek pheromones . In nature, these pheromones are used by cats to mark their territory as safe and friendly.
By imitating a cat's natural cheek pheromones, Feliway® makes the cat perceive the environment as friendly and safe.
Thanks to these properties, Feliway® can be used to provide the cat with a sense of security and comfort in difficult situations and to prevent or reduce stress caused by a change of environment.
- How to use Feliway®?
The method of using Feliway® depends on the problem we are dealing with. Below are details on how to use Feliway® to help your cat cope with difficult situations or showing signs of stress.
Urine marking
Feliway® has been proven to help reduce stress-related behavioral problems such as injecting. Clinical studies have shown a reduction in urine injections of up to 91% of cases.
To reduce or prevent urine marking, avoid cleaning the injected areas with products containing ammonia or bleach, as cats are extremely sensitive to strong odors. It is best to use water, medical spirit or odorless solutions to wash contaminated areas.
Feliway® Diffuser should be turned on in the room where the cat is marking its territory. If your cat marks several rooms, you may need to turn on another diffuser in one of the other rooms.
The diffuser should be left on continuously for at least 4 weeks. If used for a longer period of time, the cartridge should be replaced.
Feliway® Spray can be used simultaneously with the diffuser to spray the marked areas.
In this case, clean the injected area and let it dry. Then spray this area and the nearest conspicuous objects every day.
Spraying the area can be finished when the cat leaves its cheek pheromones on it (by rubbing its face against it).
Scratch marking in a vertical position
Feliway® has been proven to help reduce stress-related behavioral problems such as scratching. Clinical studies have shown a reduction in scratch marking of up to 96% of cases.
Spray the scratched surfaces with 6 sprays (presses) of Feliway® Spray once a day.
Use for at least a month. Spraying the area can be finished when the cat leaves its cheek pheromones on it (by rubbing its face against it).
It is very important to place an alternative scratching object nearby.
Several cats at home
To reduce stress in multi-cat homes, turn on the Feliway® Diffuser in the room where your cat(s) is showing signs of stress and discomfort.
The diffuser should be left on continuously for at least 4 weeks. If used for a longer period of time, the cartridge should be replaced.
Make sure each cat has its own place to sleep and eat, uninterrupted use of the litter box, and a safe place to hide.
Changes in the cat's environment (renovation, guests, new pets, birth of a child)
The diffuser should be turned on in the room where the cat(s) are showing signs of stress and discomfort.
Leave it on for four weeks or until the problem stops. If used for a longer period of time, the cartridge should be replaced.
Help in adapting the cat to its new environment (after moving, during the kitten socialization period, after adoption)
The diffuser should be turned on in the room where the cat(s) are showing signs of stress and discomfort.
Leave it on for four weeks. If used for a longer period of time, the cartridge should be replaced.
Transport or leave in a pet hotel
Spray Feliway® Spray directly on the inside of the carrier or cage, 15 minutes before putting the cat in (one press on each of the four corners, two presses on the floor and two on the ceiling).
Repeat before each trip or every day during your cat's stay at the hotel.
If Feliway® Spray is used in a hotel, always wait 15 minutes before allowing the cat back into the room.
During fireworks season
Cats should not be allowed outside during fireworks season. However, this can cause additional stress, especially in homes with several cats.
Turn on the Feliway® Diffuser in the room where the cat(s) is resting or hiding.
Feliway® should be left on continuously for four weeks or as long as the situation requires. If used for a longer period of time, the cartridge should be replaced.
How to use Feliway® Diffuser:
- Remove the cap from the cartridge;
- Screw the diffuser onto the insert (until slight resistance);
- Plug the diffuser into an electrical outlet;
- Do not plug into a socket behind doors, curtains or furniture;
- Leave the device switched on continuously for at least four weeks;

Always consult your veterinarian when your cat shows signs of stress. The problem may be health-related and require appropriate treatment.
