Comfort Zone Feliway Diffuser Refills for Cats and Kittens, 2 Pack

I was very dubious of this stuff since it just seemed like there was no way it could really be effective. I understand how pheromones work, but I wondered how they could produce them and sell them for this price and make a profit. Still, I had a few friends who were adamant about how great Comfort Zone with Feliway was. After a few months, we finally tried it, and it was a surprisingly effective success! Allow me to explain why we needed it and how it helped.We had one cat, Meep, and when a friend was unable to keep their cat, Q, due to having to move for their job, we thought "We'll take him in. Q and Meep have similar personalities and would probably love playing with each other!" We were completely wrong! Despite going through the whole process of slowly introducing the to each other through closed doors, etc. over 2 weeks, Meep decided she hated Q from the start. She would get jealous of him even being near me, get angry when he tried to sniff her, and just seemed ticked off by his existence. As a result, Meep was constantly attacking Q and starting fights. Aside from it being upsetting when they fought, Q is twice Meep's size, and while he didn't start fights, he would finish them. As a result, Meep was regularly getting injured. Most of the injuries were on her face, and I was terrified she was going to be seriously hurt.We initially bought 4 diffusers even though each one supposedly covers a large area. We placed 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs to be sure. The change was not instant, but it was definitely noticeable within about 2-3 weeks. It was a gradual reduction in fights to start. Within a about 3 months, the fighting had stopped almost entirely, and the occasional spats were much, much less violent. At that point, we went to 1 diffuser upstairs, but we still have 2 downstairs because with how our house is arranged, there didn't seem to be enough air flow between the rooms at the front of the house and the 2 at the back. The cats continued to get along, and their behavior continued to improve.We have used this product for 2 years now, and After the first year we were able to reduce to only 1 diffuser on each level of the house. Meep and Q went from tearing each other apart, to tolerating each other, to (finally) getting along and even being affectionate with each other! Honestly, without Comfort Zone, I believe we would have had to find a new home for Q or risk one of the cats getting severely injured.Now, if you're like me, you might be thinking "It has been a long time, maybe they just got used to each other, and this product didn't actually do much." I have 2 reasons as to why I think Comfort Zone has made and continues to make a difference in our cats' behavior.1) When we got the diffusers, the cats had been together (and fighting) for at least 6 months, and their was no sign of improvement during that time. As mentioned, I noticed a significant reduction in the number of fights and their intensity within 2-3 weeks of use. I do not think such a rapid change in behavior just happened to coincide with starting to use Comfort Zone.2) About a year ago, I decided to stop using Comfort Zone and observe the effects. Within about 2 weeks of unplugging the diffusers, Meep & Q were fighting again! Now, the fights were significantly less violent and occurred less often, but they still started again.I did notice that, over the few weeks without Comfort Zone, the cats also had moments where they got along. This says to me that even the single year of use did result in permanent behavioral changes changes. So, while we chose to go back to using Comfort Zone more or less constantly, my observations suggest it could be used for a certain period of time to induce behavioral changes and then stopped. I really think it just depends on why you are using Comfort Zone and how your cat or cats respond.I love this product since it has allowed us to keep both of our cats and made our home significantly more peaceful. I know it can be used for other issues. For example, I have a friend who used it to help with a cat who was pooing outside of the litter box, and I've had a few friends who've used it temporarily right before a move and then at their new home to help with the transition. If you are using Comfort Zone for the first time, I would suggest doing what I should have done and keep a journal with notes about the initial problematic behavior(s), dates of use and when changes were noticed, and general observations during use. This way, you can determine if this product is effective for your needs.

When I bought my two kittens, who are now ten years old, from a certified, highly recommended cat breeder, they were two terrified little kitties who were afraid of everything, especially people. Come to find out, they had been abused by said cat breeder, who is no longer in business and whose abuse was so severe, the police wanted to jail her. She didn't socialize her kittens but kept them, and their mothers, in a large cage, and apparently didn't even let them out at any time. I did not see her home where she bred them because it was in Arizona but it was bad enough that someone who bought a kitten from her traveled from a state far away to pay her a surprise visit. He was the one who called the police.Needless to say, socializing these lovely Burmese cats was a huge challenge but we managed to some extent and they were fine with me during the day but not completely at ease when my husband came home from work. I had seen ads for this product and figured it couldn't hurt them and maybe it would help. I can state, unequivocally, that this is the one product that made the difference between having timid cats who spent all their time hiding under the bed and having suspicious cats who love my husband as much as they love me and sometimes even go to strangers. They wil never be like normal Burmese cats but Feliway has made life so much easier for them!In their ten years, I have never been without it and I change each component when I should. I can't recommend it enough and I am so upset that they are changing the product markedly. I don't want the new one that smells "oily" and can't be near curtains - I have two that are near curtains - because the new type will literally spray. All I can do is stockpile the old type and pray that no one buys the new type!Even my Vet noticed the difference in my cats, when they were kittens, and asked me what I'd done to change them and I told her it was Feliway. I also use the spray in their carrier when we're going to the vet and it prevents them from getting so upset. It helps that they I tell them where we're going and they like their Vet. Burmese are amazingly intelligent cats and I am indebted to Feliway for helping me socialize my cats to the degree I have. I don't know what I'll do about the new type, but I encourage all to this type, even if their kittens have beeen socialized. It's helps them get used to their new environment and keeps them calm.NOTE: I have used Feliway Comfort Zone for Multicat, Feliway Comfort Zone for scratching and urine marking (not a problem with my cats), and all the other Feliways and used them interchangably. They all emit the comforting Peremones my cats needed and worked well. I put them the diffusers in the the two rooms where my cats spend the most time. I apologize for my rambling review. It's everything a review should not be but I get carried away when I think of that terrible woman abusing kittens!

Funktionniert bei uns nicht, mekn kater markiert immernoch, kann mir aber vorstellen dass dies von den Katzen abhängt, schlimmer finde ich die 16 Euro TVA die noch dazu kommen weil es ausserhalb der EU geliefert wird was hier nirgens steht.

Great product. My cat lost her lifelong partner recently. They were together for 17 years and my cat is not happy being alone. I was skeptical about Feliway but I am happy to say it has helped calm her. I know it has helped because after 3 weeks I put the Feliway away and my cat became upset again. I do hope to wean her off but I will do it very slowly.

Recibi el producto muy rapido y ahora voy a probarlo con mis gatos; ya habia pedido el Multi-cat porque mis gatos se pelean mucho y realmente no he visto ninguna mejora... ojala este si los tranquilice.

Excellent product. It's expensive, though, more than double what it costs in the US.. But still worth it.

This stuff is amazing! My cat was adopted from a wonderful rescue and came with a lot of anxiety. The poor baby had some traumatic experiences before they saved her, but she's very loved now.Her anxiety manifests itself in inappropriate scratching. The place where I adopted her suggested that I try this, because they had used a Feliway diffuser for her, and it helped. I can tell when we run out because my cat starts scratching more. It isn't a dramatic difference, but it takes the edge off of her anxiety when the diffuser is running. I have to believe that this calming effect means that she is just a bit happier, and that's the best part. My vet also sprays Feliway in the examining room when I bring her in. It helps and overall seems to really improve her quality of life. I am not sure how long I will need to use it, but, for now, it makes her feel better.I had sort of hoped it would calm me down too, but, alas, no such luck! It's too much to expect. :)Two things to note. One is be sure to change the diffuser, as they recommend about every six months. And keep an eye on it when you start using it to be sure it doesn't get too hot. That is one complaint I've seen, and I threw one out for that reason (I had been using it much longer than six months, as I hadn't realized that). Also, order it on Amazon rather than buying it in the pet store. At least where I live, the price is twice as much in the pet store.
