"Murphy" from Michelle A. Koller / West Haven - Connecticut - USA

My "problem child" Murphy began urinating on my new sofa shortly after we moved into our new home. I was concerned if this was a behavioral problem, or if this was a medical problem.


After having him tested at my veterinarian, we found that he had crystals in his urine and that may have been the issue. After changing his diet, we relieved the crystal problem, but the urine marking problems remained.

My veterinarian suggested I try a medication (valium). I did try this, however my kitty was just not himself. He would walk around as if he were drunk and would often trip over himself. I spoke to my veterinarian again, and she had suggested that I try Feliway®. That was over two years ago. I keep one in my main living area, and one in my bedroom. When I go on vacation, I don’t have to worry about the additional stress this may cause my cat – I just put fresh diffuser refills in, and I can relax knowing it’s helping my little boy while I’m away. We currently have a two kitty household, and my other kitty, Isabella is just as relaxed as can be (no copy-cat issue as I might have feared).

I am faithfully using Feliway® in my home and am incredibly happy to have found such a wonderful product that allows my kitties to be happy and themselves – not to mention no more urine marking.
