Feliway plug in users...question

If it's hot and singed, you did the right thing. While I don't have any Feliway plug-ins, I've had close calls with other plug-ins. I'd call Feliway and ask them.

Also, if you think your cats would take to really stretchy collars, I use on on Oscar, and take the Feliway every morning, shake it a bit, and give the collar itself a squirt (I don't push really quickly on the spray button, needless to say).

My vet loves this "Feliway Collar" idea, particularly since it means Oscar gets the 4-hour exposure that is recommended.

The first couple of days were a bit awkward, but now I do it as Oscar is crunching his breakfast, and it's a routine.

Catty1,

What a great idea!

Candace, do you spray Oscar's collar every day? Or how often?

Thank you moonsmom for the link. I sent an email to them, and also to the corporate office in France. At least I think it was the corporate office, the whole webpage is in French and I don't know French so I guessed. LOL

Hopefully Monday they will respond back to me on this problem.

I REALLY want to go back to using them. Since they've been unplugged I've gotten to see firsthand how well they were working for the cats. I had been down to 2 maybe 3 urine marking incidents a month and now just since Wednesday I've already cleaned up 3 spots. Apparently the Feliway spray alone just isn't good enough for my kitties which is why I got the diffusers in the first place.*sigh*

I wouldn't think it should make a difference that I got them from work from one of our distributors vs you guys getting yours from the pet stores. They should all come from the same manufacturers so I wouldn't think there should be a difference at all in the product itself.

I'll let you know if I find out anything.

Pat:

With the regular Feliway spraying, Oscar was supposed to get 2 - 3 shots a day.

That was several years ago - and now he is on one shot in the collar in the morning.

I make sure it is a REALLY stretchy one so it flies off when he and his brother fight or he grooms and gets lower teeth caught in it.

I use the plug-ins and had to replace one a few months ago because I bumped against it with my bare leg one day and it felt very hot. I'm extremely paranoid when it comes to fire so I unplugged it immediately. The second one felt warm but nothing like the other so I've left it plugged in. I just checked the replacement and it's warm, the wick is very dark but everything seems okay with it. I've never had one smoke or smell like yours did. I would be afraid to use it. Hopefully the company can help you with it. Good customer service would be to send you replacements free.
