I have no scientific proof of that but it's what the synthetic pheromone in Feliway is supposed to do...calm cats!
Yep...he definitely is alpha. And, he rubs on EVERYTHING. He cannot walk past a doorway without rubbing in and out a couple times. Sometimes the fur above his ears is worn down. I just love how he rolls his head on my armchair every night like that. Sometimes he will just be sitting there and my daughter will call over to him and he will do it. He is such a love.
