About Feliway
What is Feliway?
Feliway is a pheromone product for cats. The name Feliway specifically describes the type of pheromone which cats produce in their cheeks which is a friendly pheromone as opposed to the territory marking pheromones that cling to feline urine and feces.
Cats do not rub their cheeks on or around their litter boxes. So the theory is that if we apply the friendly pheromone on top of the aggressive pheromone it sends the message "I shouldn't pee here anymore.
Feliway works in a natural and gentle way by using a cat's sense of smell to correct the problem of cats who urinate outside of their litter boxes. It also helps when cats spray urine on vertical surfaces. And in many cases it has stopped cats from pooping outside of their litter boxes too
Since 1997 Feliway has received praise from Veterinarians, behaviorists, and most important - from the people who care for and love cats, who buy and use the product. Its truly The Solution and Miracle In A Bottle when it comes to solving this annoying problem.
Until Feliway came out nothing worked to stop cats from soiling outside the box. That's because cats don't generally respond to behavior modification, scolding, drugs, or that primitive, barbaric, and completely useless technique of "rubbing the cat's nose in it." Cats everywhere thank their lucky stars that Feliway can be shipped to their homes so that they can chill out and stop using their urine as a weapon or a means to communicate unhappiness.
Does this mean that somehow the pheromone was extracted from cats or in some way hurt them?
We love this question! NO! In 1997 when Feliway was introduced in the US we asked hundreds of questions about its creation and the research and Feliway FAQ discusses the interesting history of Feliway.
What is in Feliway?
Feliway spray is based in ethanol. Feliway in a diffuser is based in oil. Both are safe for use in the home and may be used around animals, children, plants, antiques, and just about anything else you might have! For more detail please read our Feliway FAQ.
What's the difference between Comfort Zone and Feliway, I'm confused?
Feliway is marketed in the US by Farnam/Central Life Sciences. Several years ago Farnam decided to create a product range for cats, dogs, and horses which would contain pheromones so they called it Comfort Zone. They wanted their own brand name that stood out. Personally, we stay with the name Feliway because that's the pheromone we want and love.
Why do cats urinate outside of their boxes?
Great question! We want to stress this loud and clear There Is Always A Trigger (or more) For This Problem. Your cat does not wake up one day and decide "I'm going to make them miserable and pee on the Oriental carpets."
Unless there is a health problem in most cases the problem begins because something is bugging the cat. Sometimes it happens because litter boxes are not kept clean enough. Or the cat doesn't like the litter, or doesn't like the location of the litter box, or the hood on the box. Other triggers include changes to the home environment, a move, a remodel of the house, or a new family member being added.
What's the number one trigger?
According to Cat Faeries extensive research and experience - the number one trigger is cats that enter our gardens. Unwelcome cats pee around the house or spray doors and bushes - our indoor cats see them, hear them and SMELL them. Some cats couldn't care less, but other cats care deeply and respond by peeing outside of the box or spraying urine. In some cases a cat will urinate outside the box because there is suffering from a medical condition. Among the medical reasons: urinary tract infections, arthritis, hyperthyroid, diabetes, renal failure, old age, and more. Call your vet, request an exam and tests. Its good to rule out a medical condition.
Does Feliway work for all cats?
It works for at least 86% of them. There are some cats who do not respond to the pheromone. However when you order from Cat Faeries you get our handout with our proven tips and advice. Our customers get the best results.
Feliway is a funny word, how do I pronounce it?
Fee-luh-way.

Most cat urine spraying is caused by behavior problems, usually something in the home is bothering the cat. Feliway and Comfort Zone for Cats, in addition to our flower remedies and urine cleaning products are very effective, but they are not perfectly effective.
Keep in mind that very often inappropriate urination is caused by medical conditions including but not limited to: urinary tract infections, diabetes, hyper thyroid, renal failure, arthritis, old age dementia or other health problems. If you suspect there might be illness present, please immediately contact your veterinarian or a veterinary internist. These professionals can answer your questions and arrange for tests.
Cat Faeries does not give out medical advice - please do not ask.
