FELIWAY Optimum is a new, patented pheromone discovery, and is the best FELIWAY answer to help reduce the most common signs of stress in cats. It helps with more signs of stress, in more situations, and calms cats better than ever; it helps reduce scratching, urine spraying (peeing), tensions & conflicts among cats, general fears, and reactions to changes. This new discovery, backed by FFELIWAY’s 25+ years of feline stress expertise, delivers advanced calming messages, helping your cats feel more comfortable at home than ever before. When surveyed, 93% of cat owners reported enhanced calming for their cats when using FELIWAY Optimum. FELIWAY Optimum’s heated diffuser and refill provide calming pheromones continually for up to 30 days in a 700 square foot area. We recommend using an additional diffuser if the room is bigger than 700 square feet. We recommend plugging in the FELIWAY Optimum diffuser in the room where you cat spends the most time, or where conflict among your cats happen most frequently. Try not to plug the diffuser under items (e.g. shelves) or close to objects (e.g. behind curtain or doors) as this affects efficacy. We do not recommend plugging your diffuser in near your litterbox or in a hallway – while your cat may frequent these places, they likely do not spend as much time in these places as you’d think. If your litterbox is in the room where your cat spends the most time, you will want to plug your diffuser into that room. Use FELIWAY Optimum each month to create a constant calming environment. Check the diffuser and refills monthly; you’ll want to replace the refill each month, and replace the diffuser head twice a year (every six months) to guarantee the best effect. Make sure to only use a FELIWAY Optimum diffuser with a FELIWAY Optimum Refill. The diffuser is not compatible with refills from other brands, and the FELIWAY Optimum vial should not be used with other diffusers. Never use a diffuser or refill of another brand with a FELIWAY product. Each FELIWAY Diffuser comes with a plug adapted to the local electric systems. Please do not use this diffuser in another country that has a different voltage or with an adapter: it may conduct serious security concerns. Make sure that your diffuser has the fitting plug for your country before plugging in.

Does it work?
My new kitty is VERY standoffish and stressed out. He is not aggressive but will claw or bite if provoked. Poor guy. I have had this now for just over a week and he is starting to venture out from behind the washer and dryer. He has slept in a cat bed on the top of the washer now for 3 nights. Either this product is working or he is just warming up to the space. He runs when he hears me coming still but maybe that is to be expected and not product related. Honestly, if it’s working or not, it is worth the try. If it has helped out my little guy even a little – reliving some new home, new people stress, then it is worth it. I just want him to feel loved and comfortable and I think that will just take time. Maybe a bit less with the help of this product.

Feliway diffusers helped
My one year old kitty came to our home super anxious and with a history of litter box blues. She was adjusting well until her little terror of a brother arrived. When GI issues manifested in her already anxious body, all bets were off on using the toilets. Bed, stairwell, floors and leather couch became her go to spots. Vet recommended probiotics and Feliway diffusers. We gave her both. We placed diffusers in accident prone zones. It took a couple of weeks before she was noticeably calmer. During this time we also changed her toilets from closed boxes to open ones and strategically placed them throughout the house. Happy to report she has been accident free. I have seen reviews of this product not working so I too was skeptical. While it may not work for all cats, we noticed the diffusers helped calm our girl and eliminate litter box accidents when used in combination with other tools.

Works
I have several of these Feliway plugs and they work well. I have one on each floor. I do think the price is a little spendy, hence the 4 stars. I have discovered that there are generic refills that can be purchased on Amazon that fit this plug at a tremendous savings. Just an FYI.

Not Working
HIstory: I have a 7 month old female who, her and 3 siblings were rescued by a friend at 4 weeks. Mom was nowhere to be found and all four were in rough shape. A plea for help went out to help foster the kits until a home could be found. I agreed to foster one, became attached and decided to keep her. She needed to be bottle fed with KMR formula, had worms and severe diarrhea. Off to the VET we went and is in perfect health today. She has been spoiled with attention, toys, love and was a very loving cat who curled up around my neck when she napped. At 4 months she started becoming aggressive by attacking my face in the middle of the night for whatever reasons and drew blood. This aggression has increased to the point where it impossible to touch her. She will launch and latch onto my hand, growling, kicking & biting as if it was prey, not let go and draw blood. When she does this it is very painful and difficult to get her loose. So now I just respect her space and still show her affection but it has to be on her terms.Calming: A friend had purchased some calming collars for their cats and gave me one. That was nothing more than a Lavender walking air freshener. The only benefit it had is that I knew what room she was hiding in because the scent was very overpowering. Into the trash that went.Feliway: Researched their website, saw that is VET approved but I had a gut feeling and I was very hesitant to purchase this for $30. But, I thought I would give this a try and perhaps it will prove me wrong. My gut feeling turned out to be correct. I have been using the diffuser for 5 days now and there has been absolutely no change with her aggression.I understand that, like human beings, all cats are different and by no means am I discrediting Feliway. Perhaps 5 days isn’t enough time for her?My advice, this is a 50/50. Use your judgement or go with your gut feeling. There is no guarantee that this product will work for all cats. For the cost of refills, I will not be ordering any in the future.There is a good article to read about the product on Cats.com. One paragraph states”To make it even more complicated, most of the research showing the supposed positive benefits of Feliway products was funded by Ceva Animal Health. This is the company that produces Feliway. Whilst scientific studies are bound by strict ethical rules, the results are still harder to trust.”

Didn’t work for my cats.
Bought this to diffuse (pun intended) agression between our 2 cats. I had better results with the TheraPet brand, which has a two-hormone mix. Tried these b/c I thought it would be easier to order via Amazon and it was labeled “Optimum” so thought it might be the same–apparently it’s not. Price difference between the brand is slight.

Me gustó el producto. Me gustarÃa que la luz verde que es bastante fuerte pudiera ser apagada, ya que ilumina el cuarto al dormir. El olor a mi no me parece notorio- de hecho el fabricante especifica que solo los gatos lo pueden percibir. Lo usé para ayudar a mi gato en la readaptación después de haber fallecido el perro que fue su compañero de vida- ya que el gato estaba presentando sÃntomas de ansiedad como comer de más y acicalarse más seguido y con mayor fuerza. El producto lleva ya tres semanas colocado en el outlet de luz y percibo al gato menos ansioso y sus sÃntomas han disminuÃdo. ComprarÃa otro para colocarlo en el otro extremo del departamento. Definitivamente sà lo recomiendo- aunque los repuestos/recambios son estúpidamente caros.
