If your cat is urinating in your home your should first consult your veterinary surgeon to confirm that your cat's problem is not of a clinical origin.
Never punish your cat for urine marking or scratching as this will only increase their level of distress and will not reduce the problem.
Before applying Feliway®, clean areas marked with urine using either a mixture of water and surgical spirits or a warm dilute solution of non-biological washing powder. Allow the area to dry. Remember, Feliway® does not cover or mask bad smells.
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.
Feliway® should not stain furnishings but it is recommended to test on a sample before use.
If you need to apply Feliway® on electrical equipment, switch off the appliance, allow it to cool down and then ensure it is completely dry before switching it on again.
Do not spray when your cat is in the room. Wait 15 minutes before letting them re-enter as the initial smell of the alcohol in Feliway® may upset them.
The application should be increased to twice a day when several cats are present in the home.
The product should be used for at least 30 days. Do not stop when you notice improvement.
For multi-cat households and/or if older cats are present, use for at least 45 days. In multi-cat households it is recommended a Feliway® Diffuser be also used to reduce stress levels.
If you are applying to walls or doorways, shake the bottle and spray Feliway® at a height of about 20 cm from the floor. One dose equals one depression of the nozzle.
