Feliway

To reduce or prevent urine marking, firstly avoid cleaning marked areas with products that contain ammonia or bleach as cats are extremely sensitive to strong smells. Use water, surgical alcohol or an odourless solution to treat the soiled area.

Plug the Feliway^® Diffuser into the room where the marking has taken place. If the cat marks several rooms, you may wish to place another diffuser in one of the other rooms.

Leave the diffuser switched on continuously for at least 4 weeks. Replace the refill as required.

The Feliway^® Spray can be used in addition to the diffuser to treat a particular area where marking persists.

In such cases, clean the marked area and allow to dry. Then apply the spray daily, to both the site and nearby prominent objects.

Stop site treatment when the cat marks the area with his or her own facial pheromone (is seen to rub the site with his or her head).

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.

When using the Feliway^® Diffuser:

• Remove the vial cap
• Screw the diffuser onto the vial and gently tighten
• Plug the diffuser into an electric socket
• Do not plug in behind a door, curtain or underneath furniture
• Leave the device switched on continuously for at least four weeks
• Replace the refill as required

Always consult your veterinary surgeon if your cat is showing signs of stress. Your cat's problem may be of a clinical origin and may require further treatment.

The device and the refill are specially designed for the Feliway^® Diffuser. The product cannot be guaranteed if a different device is used with the refill. Similarly, the electric device should not be used with another substance.

Depending on the problem you want to solve you can use the Feliway^® Diffuser or Feliway^® Spray or both.
