This complementary cartridge works with the Feliway Diffuser. The cartridge should be replaced at the end of each 30-day period of continuous action of sedative pheromones at home. As a reminder, you can tear off the sticker on the cartridge label and paste it to your calendar or diary.
Feliway® is a synthetic form of feline cheek pheromones. In nature, these pheromones serve cats to mark their territory as safe and friendly.
By mimicking cat's natural cheek pheromones, Feliway® makes her cat perceive her surroundings 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 changing the environment.
- How is Feliway® used?
The method of application of Feliway® depends on the problem we are dealing with. Below are details on how to use Feliway® to help your cat face difficult situations or show signs of stress.
Urine marking
Feliway® has been proven to help reduce stress-related behavioral problems such as injections. Clinical studies have shown a reduction in urine injection, reaching 91% of cases.
To reduce or prevent urine tagging, avoid cleaning injected surfaces with products containing ammonia or bleach, as cats are extremely sensitive to strong odors. For washing contaminated places it is best to use water, medical spirit or odorless solutions.
Feliway® Diffuser should be turned on in the room where the cat marks the site. If your cat is marking several rooms, you may need to turn on one more diffuser in one of the others.
The diffuser should be left on continuously for at least 4 weeks. With prolonged use, the cartridge should be replaced.
Simultaneously with the diffuser, Feliway® Spray can be used, spraying it on the marked areas.
In this case, clean the injected area and let it dry. Then spray the area and the nearest conspicuous objects daily.
Spraying the spot can be completed when the cat itself leaves cheek pheromones on it (rubbing against them with its mouth)
Marking with scratching 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, reaching 96% of cases.
Spray scratched surfaces with 6 doses (presses) of Feliway® Spray once a day.
Use for at least one month. Spraying the spot can be completed when the cat itself leaves cheek pheromones on it (rubbing against them with its mouth).
It is very important to place an alternative object for scratching nearby.
A few cats in the house
To reduce stress in homes with multiple cats, include the Feliway® Diffuser in the room where the cat(s) are showing signs of stress and discomfort.
The diffuser should be left on continuously for at least 4 weeks. With prolonged use, the cartridge should be replaced.
Make sure that each cat has its own place to sleep and eat, the possibility of undisturbed use of the litter box, as well as a safe place where it can hide.
Changes in the cat's environment (renovation, guests, new animals, baby birth)
The diffuser should be switched on in a room where the cat(s) is showing signs of stress and discomfort.
Leave on for four weeks or until the problem stops. With prolonged use, the cartridge should be replaced.
Help in adapting the cat to the new environment (after moving, during the period of socialization of kittens, after adoption)
The diffuser should be switched on in a room where the cat(s) is showing signs of stress and discomfort.
Leave on for four weeks. With prolonged use, the cartridge should be replaced.
Transportation or leave at the hotel for pets
Spray Feliway® Spray directly on the inside of the carrier or cage, 15 minutes before inserting the cat (one press on each of the four angles, two on the floor and two on the ceiling).
Repeat before each trip or every day during the cat's stay in the hotel.
If Feliway® Spray is used in a hotel, always wait 15 minutes before letting your cat back into the room.
In fireworks season
During the fireworks season, cats should not be allowed outside. However, this can cause additional stress, especially in homes where several cats live.
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. With prolonged use, the cartridge should be replaced.
How to use Feliway® Diffuser:
- Remove the cap from the cartridge;
- Screw the diffuser on the cartridge (until light resistance);
- Insert the diffuser into a wall outlet;
- Do not turn into an outlet located behind doors, curtains or furniture;
- Leave the appliance 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.
