Entiendo que mi caso es un poco difícil ya que tengo 5 gatos, dos de los cuales habían vivido juntos por 12 años pero al morir la persona que los cuidaba los traje a mi casa junto a mis otros tres gatos, así que fue un caos de peleas, rasguños a los muebles y marcaje con orina. llevamos tres semanas con el difusor, este ayudo a disminuir la agresividad aunque no del todo, pero el marcaje con orina ha continuado y han orinado incluso frente al difusor. La mas agresiva de las gatas esta medicada para el estrés, tenemos múltiples areneros en dos áreas de la casa, y ni aún así ha disminuido el marcaje. Los rasguños en los muebles disminuyeron significativamente al adquirir múltiples rasgadores de diferentes formas. Considero que este producto no es una solución mágica si no que hay que emplear todas las estrategias posible.

Creo que no duró todo el mes, pero es un buen producto para que los mishus estén relajados, en mi caso no me gustó tener que estar cambiando de habitación el difusor dependiendo de en donde esté el gato.

Fuera de eso creo que funciona bien

I’ve used this product for a while. It works fine, but the newer product Feliway Optimum the company recently added a light to the diffuser that is on at all times once it is plugged in. I ordered this model in the hope that it would not have the light for use in my bedroom as it had in the past.

No such luck…they updated the model with the light which I honestly don’t understand why. It’s not like it indicates anything. I would understand it a tad more if the light changed colors or turned off when the liquid needs to be changed, but no just another electronic that insists on having an obsolete light. If you’re someone who likes your bedroom dark…you might want to try another product.

Not sure if they update the Feliway Multicat diffuser…but I’m sure they probably have if they updated Feliway Classic with the new diffuser model.

If you don’t mind the light, not a bad product. It’s at least a tad cleaner, less messy than ComfortZone. Not sure if it ever really worked for my cat…he’s been a UTI health mess until recently.

Short version:
PROS – VERY effective at reducing stress levels and decreasing inappropriate behaviors.

CONS – The diffuser refills are only effective for 20 – 25 days (Two other relative, in separate homes, also report they only seem to be effective for 20 to 25 days).
– The cost. VERY expensive when using the recommended number of diffusers in the home and then having to change them sooner than the recommended effective date.

Long version:
I have seven cats who, while have free access to a large fenced yard and limited access to several hundred acres outside of the fenced yard, primarily spend their time indoors. There are conflicting personalities between them, in addition to added stress of intruding strays. With the high stress levels came spraying indoors and increased aggressive and inappropriate behaviors.

I use 3 Feliway diffusers, one at each end of my home and one in the basement. It has literally saved their lives and my sanity. The diffusers do not last a full 30 days for me, usually around 25 days. I can tell when they are no longer effective, as the bad behaviors escalate. It’s not immediate…It takes me about 3 days to figure out why the spats and spraying have become noticeable, when I check the diffusers (I write the approximate date for replacement on the refill bottle)it is close to the change date. Within one day of replacing the refills, all is calm again.

I also have found the spray to be VERY effective in discouraging marking/spraying when applied every two to three days to the preferred objects. When applied to a pair of leather gloves that I use to “handle/pet the feral strays, it is extremely effective in calming them and reducing the number of “strikes/bites” to the gloves. It always amazes me to watch these very feral cats calm to the point that they not only allow me to pet them but relax enough to roll on their back for me to rub their tummy. I use the spray liberally around the area where I feed them, which also helps discourage marking from both my cats and the strays.

And I really mean it when I say it is a life saver. About 6 months after moving into my new home in the country, an intact male stray (that I had neutered and named Melvin) decided to make himself a home with my four other cats (three females and one male, all altered). Being an adult (estimated 2+ years), it initially cause some tension with my other cats but eventually we all settled into a fairly stable routine. However, I had to continually work with Melvin to lessen his aggression during play.

About two years after that, my best friend was in a bad car accident, and while she survived, she could no longer care for her three cats…so I adopted them. Even though I took 2 months to slowly integrate them, they created tension among my 5, especially Melvin. Over the next year, Melvin’s stress levels increased to the point of spraying, aggression and overall depression. I tried several medications (my sis is a vet) but to no avail. His spraying became uncontrollable, to the point where he deliberately sprayed objects next to me, and eventually ON me. While he never really got rid of all of his stray-tom mannerisms, it was as if something sort of snapped in his brain, that while he wasn’t mean, he was simply not right and definitely not happy. Having exhausted all other solutions (even using Feliway spray), I had him euthanized.
Less than a week after the heart breaking euthanization of Melvin, one of my males (from my original four) started spraying in the house, and also one of the males of my friend’s three. Medication did not help either of them. As a last ditch effort, I started using the Feliway diffusers and applied the spray to all spray-desirable objects on a daily basis.

I am VERY happy to report that while there is an occasional marking and spat (usually aggravated by the presence of the strays), the situation remains manageable. And while I still morn for Melvin, I breathe a daily sigh of relief that I don’t have to make that decision again.
So, the Feliway diffusers and spray, while expensive, are most definitely worth it and a total godsend for my seven fur-children.

I wish I had known about this diffuser years ago. I’ve had it for almost 2 weeks and it has completely changed our cat for the better. Our cat is 7 years old and has horrible allergies when outside, but peed on everything when kept inside. We had tried everything we could think of, and this was a last attempt to correct his behavior before we were going to have to surrender him (we did not want to have to do that, but he peed on all of our children’s things and anything that was left out in the open).

The first day I got the diffuser I plugged it in to the outlet in the living room area since the cat spends a lot of time in there. He was acting friendlier and happier, but still was peeing on things. Keep in mind that he was using his litter box to poop, so he knows how to use it, but chose not to. I moved the diffuser to the room that we have set up with his litter box and other things, a room that our kids and the dogs cannot get into. He started peeing in the litter box the same day and hasn’t peed anywhere else since. He’s happier and plays more. He used to hide often, but now he hangs out with everyone else.

If you’re on the fence about getting this diffuser, just try it out. Yes, it’s a bit pricey and I’ll have to buy a new one monthly, but it’s much better than looking for where the cat pee smell is (the worst!!) and washing loads of laundry all the time. Plus, I didn’t have to get rid of our daughter’s cat.
