HOW FELIWAY WORKS

feliway and cat

Feliway is an indoor area spray that mimics naturally occurring facial pheromones in order to control urine marking and scratching.

Cat urine contains pheromones that the cat uses to mark his territory to demonstrate dominance or to attract members of the opposite sex. But not all marking is done with urine. Cats also scerete pheromones from a variety of other glands on their bodies.

Foot pads produce Alarm Pheromones that remind the cat - and warn other cats - to avoid dangerous areas.

Pheromones produced in the tail and the anal sacs provide information about sexual status for mating purposes.

AND, there are pheromones that make the cat feel calm and secure within his environment. These are facial pheromones.

You've probably seen a cat rub his face on objects around the house - or even on you. FELIWAY mimics these natural facial pheromones.

Sprayed in the cat's environment, it creates a comforting, reassuring feeling in the cat that has a calming effect and reduces the impulse to urine mark or scratch.

How To Use FELIWAY

FELIWAY is easy to use. To end urine marking, clean off urine using water and alcohol ONLY! Cleansers or detergents may diminish FELIWAY's effect.

  1. Apply a single spray of FELIWAY twice a day wherever the cat has marked
  2. Also spray on prominent objects such as furniture, doors, potted plants, and corners or rooms, once a day.
  3. Continue use for 30 days to ensure no relapse in marking behavior.
  4. Spray from 4 inches away and approximately 8 inches from the floor
  5. If the cat is seen marking an object with his own facial pheromones, it won't be necessary to respray it.

It's important to continue treatment for 30 days. Marking should cease within that time. In extreme cases, however, "reminder" maintenance sprays may be necessary every 2 to 3 days.

If the cat is over 10 year old, spray areas once daily for 45 days. Repeat every 2-3 days for the rest of his life.

To prevent sexually oriented marking, it's only necessary to spray the soiled areas - which are normally near exits.

If you believe a change in the home may initiate marking, you can prevent it by spraying FELIWAY on furniture, doors and in the corners of rooms as you would if the cat were already marking.
