Just a rant and warning. We got two Feliway diffuser plugs last October, when we got our kitty. A few months back, we had to replace the plugs with the new shape ones, as new refills were only compatible with the new plugs. We threw the old plugs away, but now I seriously wish we hadn't... There's a note on the Zooplus…
