FAST FACTS ABOUT FELINES AND THE FELIWAY® PLUG-IN  

About Feline Behavior
·    Feline spraying is a natural habit of both male and female cats. By spraying small quantities of urine on vertical surfaces, the cat gives a chemical (pheromonal) indication of its presence to other cats.
·    Cats spray for a variety of reasons, including perceived threats, changes in their environment or stress in general.
·    Feline facial pheromones have a calming effect on cats.
·    When cats spray, owners should consult a veterinarian to rule out medical reasons for not using the litter box. Problems with the litter and/or litter box should also be ruled out.
·    Spraying is more likely in multiple-cat households.

About Feliway® Plug-Ins
·    Feliway is a synthetic copy of a cat’s naturally occurring facial pheromones.
·    Developed for pet owners by veterinarians, Feliway is available as a plug-in that discourages cats both males and females from spraying.
·    Plug Feliway into an electric socket in the room most frequented by the cat. The diffuser is reusable, as each vial lasts approximately four weeks and covers up to 650-square-feet.
·    Clinical studies show a 95 percent success rate in reducing or eliminating spraying; 70 percent in multi-cat households.
·    The Feliway plug-ins can help cats adjust to new homes, pets and people.
 ·    Feliway plug-ins can be used in stressful situations, such as hospitalization or boarding.
