Feliway Spray helps to stop and prevent urine marking, and to settle and calm cats in unknown or stressful environments (carrier basket, cage, car, holidays, new house, new companions).  In addition to urine marking, reactions expressed by cats to stressful situations that may benefit from the use of Feliway Spray include vertical scratching, loss of appetite and a reduced desire to play and interact.  Feliway Spray may also be recommended by veterinarians or behavioural specialists for other specific cases.

Urine marking involves a well recognised behavioural sequence where the cat: selects a vertical surface, paws at the ground, tums its back to the surface, lifts its tail to a vertical position while remaining standing, and sprays the surface with a horizontal jet of urine.  The cat may perform this behavioural sequence of urine marking during a period of sexual activity, and following an event that changes its environment or is otherwise perceived as stressful by the cat.  Urine marks produced in this way are characterised by a strong smell even though the quantity of urine deposited each time is usually small, and they are found at about 20 cm above the floor.

If a behavioural problem is due to the cat feeling fearful or stressed then Feliway will help reduce this behaviour, especially if used in conjunction with behavioural modification therapy.  If the problematic behaviour is unrelated to stress, Feliway will have no effect.
