Feliway SPRAY 60mL

Feliway Spray 60mL

Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone, used by cats to mark their territory as safe and secure.

By mimicking the cat’s natural facial pheromones, Feliway creates a state of familiarity and security in the cat’s local environment.

As a result, Feliway can be used to help comfort and reassure cats, while they cope with a challenging situation and/or help prevent or reduce the stress caused to a cat during a change in their environment.

General advice to consider when using Feliway Spray

When using the Feliway Spray you must keep in mind the problem you are trying to reduce or prevent.

If your cat is urine spraying:

• First consult a veterinary surgeon to confirm that your cat’s problem is not of a clinical origin.
• Then after removing the cat from the room, clean the areas marked with urine using either a mixture of water and surgical spirits or a warm dilute solution of non-biological washing powder.
• Never use strong smelling disinfectants, bleach, biological washing powder, detergents or deodorisers to clean the affected areas. They may interfere with the action of Feliway and the strong smell may upset your cat further.
• Shake the bottle and apply the spray daily for at least 30 days. Do not stop when you notice improvement.
• Wait 15 minutes before letting the cat re-enter the area to allow time for the alcohol carrier in Feliway to evaporate off.
• If you need to apply Feliway to electrical equipment, switch off the appliance, allow it to cool down and then ensure it is completely dry before switching it on again.
• To prevent new furniture, freshly painted walls or other objects becoming the target of urine spraying activity, spray daily for the first 2 weeks or until the cat is seen to rub his/her head against the object.
• Remember, Feliway does not cover or mask bad smells.

If your cat is scratch marking:

• Remove the cat from the room 
  Shake the bottle and apply the spray to the marked area daily for at least 30 days. Do not stop when you notice improvement.
• Wait 15 minutes before letting the cat re-enter the area to allow time for the alcohol carrier in Feliway to evaporate off.
• To prevent new furniture, freshly painted walls or other objects becoming the target of scratch marking activity, spray daily for the first 2 weeks or until the cat is seen to rub his/her head against the object.
• Never punish your cat for urine or scratch marking as this will only increase their level of distress and will not reduce the problem, but may make it worse.

If your cat lives in a mulit-cat household:

• Use as above but extend period of use to at least 45 days and increase the frequency of application to twice daily.
• Consider using a Feliway Diffuser to reduce the overall stress levels of all your cats.

To give more general reassurance:

• Apply Feliway Spray to the doorways, cat-flap, windows sills and to other prominent objects within your home.
• Shake the bottle and spray at a height of about 20 cm from the floor.
• Wait 15 minutes before letting the cat re-enter the area to allow time for the alcohol carrier in Feliway to evaporate off.
• Feliway should not stain furnishings but it is recommended to test on a sample before use.
