FELIWAY® Optimum 30 Day Cat Calming Refill for Pheromone Diffuser, 48ml – Helps Reduce Common Signs of Stress in Cats & Kittens, Enhanced Calming

Helps my anxious cat (1+ year of usage)
I’ve had this product for almost a year now and have repurchased it a handful of times now and I can honestly say, for my cat, this works wonders and is truly worth the price. I was recommended this by a vet because my cat had a problem with overgrooming, and since this is a single cat household, I was told this may help ease her anxiety. Since using this, my cat has slowed her overgrooming, and has become much more social able and friendly than she was before. She’s not nearly as territorial either. I’ve never had any problems with it leaking, it has next to no smell, and it doesn’t get very hot.The only thing I will note, is that it doesn’t last a full month. It runs out closer to around 20-25 days.

Diffuser is a bit messy, but it helped de-stress our constipated boy!
I had tried Feliway Multicat in the past when we adopted a new kitty, and our resident cat felt his territory was shrinking. We used it in 2 different points in our 1050-sq. ft. apartment to ensure coverage, and it seemed to marginally make a difference. I wasn’t exactly sold on Feliway (were these improvements coincidental?), but wasn’t disappointed either (a change in behavior did occur within 48 hours of plugging the Multicat in, so… maybe?).Fast forward to this fall, and my boyfriend is out of town for 2 months taking care of family things back home. Our cat Bubba is most bonded with him rather than me, so the absence has been stressing B-Man out big-time. He became constipated, only doing his business every 2-3 days (abnormal for him). Our vet ruled out medical concerns, and all my other attempts to de-stress him did not work. Adding pure pumpkin puree to his food didn’t do much, either (besides annoy Bubba that his food was tasting different).Desperate, the internet’s declarations that Feliway Classic helps with stress convinced me to drive to a local pet store and get some that day. All Petco had in stock, however, was 1 refill of Feliway Optimum. I did some research on the fly on my phone, decided that Optimum’s new formula of multiple pheromones in one sounded effective and intriguing, and made the sale.I kid you not, I plugged this product in on a Monday evening, and Tuesday evening, Big Man pooped. Wednesday evening, he pooped again. Thursday afternoon, more scooping action for me. 1x/day was much more Bubba’s usual litterbox schedule. So I decided that, holy cow, a new product might actually work for once, “it wasn’t just a scam!”, and ordered 2 more on Amazon (again, full coverage for our apartment, as 1 diffuser can do up to 700 sq. ft. MAX – keep this in mind when purchasing). I’ve had 2 Optimum diffusers going while my boyfriend is gone, and Bubba has been less mopey, more playful, and much more regular. I’m hoping we won’t need them once my boyfriend is back, as $50/month for 2 is steep, but I wouldn’t swap this out for anything, not even Feliway Classic and certainly not another brand. Plus, Amazon has it here for $25/refill, and it was $38/refill at Petco, so this is still much better!! This item gave Bubba the relief he needed, so it’s worth every penny to me.Side notes: I already owned 2 of the regular Feliway diffusers from our brief stint with using Multicat – the Optimum refills DO fit into a regular diffuser, you do not need to buy the special Optimum diffuser with the LED light if you don’t wish to. Also, the diffuser creates an oily film on all items directly around it – I have one in our kitchen, and had to throw away the oven mitt hanging by it because the mitt became coated in wet tacky Feliway oil which did not come out in the washing machine. They can def. be a bit messy, so clear a square foot or two directly around them. Yes, they also make a shiny film on the wall by the outlet they’re in. I’ll do anything for my kitty and just wipe it clean when it gets noticeable, but if you’re looking at using these for the duration of your cat’s life, bear this in mind.Overall: diffusers can be a bit messy, seems expensive but Amazon is actually way cheaper than anywhere else, and this product is the real deal. Just try it for a month, see if it helps. I’m sure glad that I did. <3

It worked at first
I’m giving this 5 stars because I noticed a difference in my cats within a day of using them for the first time. The fighting stopped and the bullying stopped. The anxiety symptoms went away. There was a noticeable calm in the house and it was great. Fast forward a few months and it no longer works. We are right back to where we were before we started using it. I think cats develop an immunity to whatever kind you use. These may work again for us after we have taken a break from them. The thing is, they are crazy expensive and I have never seen a sale on them anywhere. It’s a lot of money to spend, hoping that they will start working again. While they initially helped with fighting and bullying issues, they never did do anything about spraying problems. In all fairness, I haven’t found a brand that has helped with that. As other reviewers have mentioned, these do leak oil. I haven’t had oil on the floor or on the walls but the diffuser gets covered in it and then hair gets stuck to it. You have to wipe the diffusers off once or twice a week. Again, 5 stars because they truly worked better than any brand I have tried for the first 2 months. I wouldn’t give 5 stars for longevity or for price. My cats have had a little break from Feliway Optimum so I would try them again, hoping for the initial result, if they ever go on sale.

Muy bien protegido me llegó y con un regalito para mi michi, gran detalle !
