FELIWAY Multicat Soothing Pheromones 30 Day Refill - 3 Pack

A mis gatos los mantiene en calma y evita peleas

I had behavioral problems among my 5 cats. This diffuser helped nothing. The behaviorist I contacted told me that multicat version is known for sometimes aggravating cats. They recommended I change to felliway classic which I did and almost immediately saw the difference.

Llego bien y rapido

I got two new kittens for a household with three adult (5 y/o) cats. For the first week, we kept them in my bedroom and swapped blankets sometimes. Then I decided to quarantine the adults and let the babies run around for a bit. Everything was fine until the babies went back in my room and we set the adults free. My biggest boy tried to spray stuff… FOUR times. I kept grabbing him and putting him in the outdoor catio where the litter boxes are. Then I caved and put a box full of fresh litter by the catio door, which he used 3 times in as many minutes with explosive diarrhea. Didn’t want petting or his treats or nothing. I thought he was being a bit of a drama queen considering the kittens’ scent had already been wafting from my room for days (he even watched a few play sessions through a hanging fabric screen door on my bedroom doorframe, which I recommend, AND he walked around smelling the room whenever I was cleaning it and the kittens were in the bathroom). But anyway. I had these shipped overnight. I wasn’t “desperate” exactly… but I was wanting to speed along the instructions if I could, while avoiding the beginnings of an all out spraying war! I have all neutered boys. So I was kinda desperate. I’m a gardener and vegan, yet dislike anything that mimics what’s “natural,” and these either sounded like a bunch of baloney or some kind of pheromone drug, buuuut… good reviews and a little desperation go a long way. I wasn’t disappointed! It’s been a week, 8 days to be exact, and the adult cats have tolerated co-living with the kittens during the daytime extremely well. Are we pals? Well, not exactly, but the older cats tolerate a little batting at their tails and even sharing a cat tower pedestal (for five minutes, but still, they don’t hiss, just leave after that). I think having two kittens to wrestle with each other and burn off that excess energy really helps - ya’ll only getting one kitten, idk what yer thinking, I’ve been down this road several times by now, and the rule is to always get TWO kittens so they can play with each other, guys. So, yes, in my opinion, they are extremely effective. However, a word of warning: each plug-in needs its own outlet. Not both ports, just one, but I guess what I mean is, I plugged two into their own ports and one into one of those industrial-strength multi-outlet strips. Supposed to handle anything. Guess which plug-in overheated? I felt them all at the beginning and end of each day to make sure they were warm and working (slight scent sometimes, but nothing all that noticeable) and one evening, the one not plugged directly into the wall was HOT, parts of the device and wick brown (see pics). The others were normal. So I can only guess that it’s because I didn’t follow the instructions (which specifically tell you NOT to share outlets with other devices). User error. And I can probably guess that lots of these reviews that claim these aren’t safe are also not lending a direct outlet to each one. That said, it’s a deduction, so use with caution and touch them sometimes. Also look at the instructions for placement, because the bottle goes under the plug and I see some pics with it upside down. These are just the refills, not the plugs/kit, which is another silly reason this product is rated lower by some people who don’t read what they’re ordering. The liquid in the bottle is about 1/4 gone after a week, so yes, I’d estimate these last a month. Two thumbs up from me. The star I docked is really just because the product claims to have an internal safety shut-off in the event of overheating, user error or not, but it didn’t really seem to activate in my case and there were some small scorch marks that were basically my fault. Don’t make my mistake! Edit: the new design of the plug makes scorch marks basically a thing of the past. I also like the new “I’m working” indicator light. However, I have taken a more active role in rotating refills every 12 hours, meaning each morning and night, I switch out the refill with a second one that I keep capped under the outlet. This is because the wick looks pretty dried out after 12 hours (see pic with one light / one dark) and I want the diffuser to be able to do its job effectively. Probably an extra, unnecessary step on my part, but. Alternatively, you could probably just unplug it in the morning and plug it in at night, to allow time for the solution to thoroughly soak the wick again before plugging back in. But I like to keep mine going at all times. A bit of a chore, hence the 4/5 stars still, but I do it when I’m doing the other cat chores anyway and we’re all still getting along pretty dang good.

This actually works with my shelter rescue! No detectable scent, which I'm thankful for. Does not leak, does not make the plug-in device overheat, and is very easy to screw in. Great value, too! I can always tell when it's getting close to time to change the diffuser, as my cat begins displaying more symptoms of anxiety. (clinginess, frequent short naps instead of longer sleep sessions, following me and my son more than she already does, and self-destructive behavior). Despite only having one cat, we bought the multi-cat refills since they were a little cheaper at the time. Since then we've used both the classic and multi-cat variants, and have seen the same positive results.
