Does Feliway really work?

That's not too bad and at least you didn't have to wait for it to come in the post.

If you need a refill in the future have a look at...

www.petmeds.co.uk
www.petplanet.co.uk

...three trusted companies but I'm sure there's many more. Prices vary from month to month so worth shopping around.

Thanks for the links, I'll keep a note of them incase I need refills. I'm really hoping I won't need any but the way my lucks going......

I managed to tempt the cats out from their hiding places - I gave them bf's prawns he was saving for tomorrow Maybe next time he'll think twice before upsetting my cats!!

Haha, nicely done! Maybe they'll club together and gang up on your bf instead!!

It does work! I The cheapest I have found is at zooplus. £24,99 with free shipping, which Amazon is less likely to offer. Moving my poor kitties again which means I need to stock up on more.

Hi Bailey - just wondered if you'd got an update on how your two furrababies were getting on.

Great to hear that Feliway has worked for others, I wish it had worked on my two - Bobbie is obviously deliquent!!

The cats had been getting more tolerant of each other and by last night they could be in the same room without having a complete meltdown. I decided to leave them both roaming the house last night, instead of shutting new cat in the spare bedroom, and I got woken up at the crack of dawn this morning with the pair of them tearing around my bedroom and playing like a couple of kittens!!

New cat's still a bit hissy when old cat gets too rampunctious with her, but on the whole the situation's a million times better

I can't say for definite that it was the Feliway that calmed them down, but the difference in just a few days is too much to be a coincidence. Maryland Cookie it's a shame it didn't work on your 2, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you find something that'll do the job. Like you say, some cats are just delinquents

Thank you everyone for the advice, and I'll let you know if there's anymore changes.

we cant use feliway here as i have asthma but we have two nervous rescues. One has had a few health problems with recurrent gingervitus (spelling!) resulting in most of his teeth being removed in january. This meant he got himself so worked up with stress and jumping at anything he got a urine infection. The vet gave us some herbal tablets which are kind of like kitty valium but none medication. He is now a different cat, the urine infection cleared up, toilet training issues went, he has now started asserting himself with the other cat (he even sits on the cat tree now!!!!) has mad chasing moments with us and is generally very relaxed. He is currently crashed out on my lap. Our vet has said any time before a stressful event is due to happen in his life ring them for a course.

Oh Baily that's great news - I've only got a little bit of cat envy!!! I went to bed before my OH last night and he didn't put Bobbie in the conservatory, and I was woken up at 1:00am by them fighting on the bed!!! And I mean fighting, they had their ears back, teeth on show and fur flying. OH never even moved ......grrrrrr I got up and separated them. I wish with all my heart that they got on, and am wondering if I should try Feliway again, it might be worth another try.

Thanks for the positive update (honest!) xx

My vet told me about a natural sedative called Zylkene when I asked about medications for using while in the cattery. It's milk based and doesn't contain any drugs, and I think you can buy it over the counter. It might be worth giving this a try for a short while - perhaps if you could calm them enough to be a bit friendlier in the short term, then they might not be as aggressive to each other in the long term.

I really hope you find something that works for you guys, you must be so gutted

I swear by feliway, I do a lot of travelling with my Lily and I have the spray to use in her carrier and I bring a plug in with me for when she's visiting family with me. She's moved house once as well and we used the plug in for a few days before we moved her and left it on till it ran out, things went without a hitch and she settled into the new place almost immediately!
