Feliway

I find they last about a month. And yes..there is no smell to us. The unit does get warm to the touch. I find that the effects seem to increase as time goes on. Last night my whole crew ate better than than have in a while and this morning Deirdre was in a much better mood than she has been. She always hates weekday mornings because I have to leave for work. As she senses the time growing close for me to get up she starts to growl and grumble and hiss. But this morning it wasn't as intense. I have had this one in for about 5 days now.

Evening AvaJoy,
I know what you mean about the Husky babies. I showed "Ferd" for several years.. he hated it. He was a free spirit. When he jumped up on the judge an dlicked his face, I knew he had no career in the ring. He was our "first born". Oh how I loved that boy. We adopted him when he was almost3 from a breeder. It was love at first sight. We got him in Balitmore and were on our way back to NC and then off to Calif. When JIm stopped at a McDOnalds in DC and got Ferdie his own Cheeseburger and water... he knew he had two suckers on the line.:D Maybe they are all at the RB playing together and waiting for us. He was ao awesome. We were on our way back from Calif to NC and got stopped in NM by a Stae policeman for speeding or something. It was late at night, Ferd was asleep in the back seat... JIm was talking to the policeman and all of a sudden that boy woke up... the POliceman looked at him and Ferdie stuck his head out the window gave this guy a big ole wet juicy lick on the face. I thought this guy was going to pass out.:D

I was so tired tonight that I didn't stop.... my job is so stressful that I am drained at night. I am going to get that plug it. Maybe you and I can compare notes on how the kitties are doing!

THank you so much for your love and support!

Blessings,
MommaCat... Deb

UPDATE: I was dismayed to realized that although Feliway plug in says it lasts for 6 weeks, after only THREE weeks the container was about empty so I had to replace it!!! :( There should be some way to regulate the amount released but apparently there is not. (I thought maybe the vents were opened all the way and that was why it evaporated in half the time the box indicates.) I'm going to contact the company, because it says right on the box that it should last about 6 weeks, and at $24.00 a refill, I can't afford changing the refill every 3 weeks. I really don't know if it has had any effect on my cats. Debra has been using the litter box consistently (knock on wood!) even though experiencing a urinary tract infection for which she is on meds now. Her pees were very tiny and frequent so the vet did an in-house urinalysis and also sent out to a lab and diagnosed UTI. No crystals were found, nor any other kidney problems.

Deb, I hope you are having a positive experience with Feliway, and your Husky story made me smile! :)

Avajoy,

Have you had your windows open while it was plugged in? We have had our latest plugged in for about a month now and it is still about 1/3 full. The first one we used lasted about a month. We have found it makes a pretty definate difference in the aggressiveness of our cats to one another. They still don't particulary want to sleep together but they aren't out for blood anymore either. But if you get a reply from the company let me know what they said...I would be very interested.

Hi Denyce!
Shadow is still hiding behind Jim's desk.. when she walks past the door that goes to the basement she slinks past it.. like she is terrified.

I don't know what else to do.

I don't know what is happening when we are working... I don't think anything... but she is terrified.. and Clayton looks like the picture of innocence. Not me Momma.. I didn't do anything!:D

I am still using the FELIWAY plug in and sometimes the spray too!

Shadow has lost about 2 pounds becasue she is so stressed out. Clayton has gained THREE because he is so happy and laid back. There HAS to be a happy medium!!!! My heart is breaking for her.. She is so precious... but she has regressed.

Blessings,
Mommacat.
