Works.
Helped stop the cats taking a swipe at each other every time they met! Unit can get hot so for safety we switch ours off at night or when we are out. Package arrived quickly and was well wrapped and as described.
Try this to reduce cat fall outs.
Inevitably multi cat households experience fall outs between individuals. I find Feliway friends eliminates the majority of these. The cats are calmer, even our Hissy Missy ! I would definitely recommend trying this item, especially during the Winter when felines prefer house warmth to being outside hunting.
I was very sceptical when I ordered this but with my two cats almost constantly fighting I was ready to try anything.
It did seem to pretty much stop the fighting and relegate it to growls and the occasional swipe.
Then they suddenly started really fighting again and I was ready to be annoyed at the product not working until I realised that it had run out! So now I buy this every month.
Great cat calming solution - feliway friends
It is expensive with it regularly fluctuating in price but does work to help stop my cat from over grooming.
My vet advised it as well as medication I can buy from a chemist so I’m pleased to be able to manage my cat’s condition quite cheaply rather than paying vets fees.
I definitely recommend this product and seems to work better for my cat than the original feliway
Worked with my 2 cats (male and female 2 years)
I was skeptical as to whether it would work with my two cats.
For the most part they got on quite well but occasionally the younger male is a bit of a bully to my older female. (She does give it back tho!) since getting the plug in they’ve spent a lot more time grooming eachother and genuinely seem to enjoy eachothers company It hasn’t performed miracles but it’s definitely made them both a lot more calmer (especially my older female who is much more skittish and anxious)
My cats are friends agai
I have had cats for years so had to use this product before. My current cats are brothers and always sleep curled up together. As they started to go outside, one of them had come into contact with another cat, and his brother didn’t like it one bit. I had to keep them apart as they literally didn’t recognise each other. Fast forward to purchasing Feliway, the hissing, growling and living separate ended very quickly. I would say within 24 hours of the plug in being switched on, they were back to being curled up together and friends again. I didn’t use much and the plug in should last a long while as it’s not on constantly, but it’s a good go-to if they fall out for any reason with fast results.
It does get VERY warm!
I was a bit worried about how warm the plug in gets but definitely made a difference to my cats. I’d had a problem with redirected aggression whenever they saw a certain cat in the garden they were fighting with each other. Along with some cat repellent on the fence and some extra play time, leaving the radio on when I’m out I think somewhere in there the combination works
I have both original and the optimum brand in my home. This is in the bedroom and the other I have downstairs. Changed my world as I was going crazy with my two girls going into heat constantly with male cat next door. Now it’s just mild meowing and lots of being cute and talkative and wanting to sit and be fussed. Much better than the Duo duel of the banshees lmao my neighbors thought I turned my home into a maternity ward when they yelp and wahled in tandum lol it seems expensive but they do the job and the peace is so worth it for n the end. I’m going to copy n past this review for other optimum review so don’t think it’s a bot review lol
Works
It works great!
For a summer when windows are on the ventilation mode constantly I do place it in living room AND bedroom, sometimes even combined with OPTIMUM or other kinds of feliway qnd IT IS A LIFESAVER.
I was not sure if this was going to work as some reviews weren’t great however I’m on my second bottle now and the cats aren’t too bad now, they used to fight like they were sworn enemies but now they have the odd fall out usually one wants to play fight and the other doesn’t so for me that’s a win lol both cats are young castrated males.
Working I think , cats seem happier not as much friction between them . I’ve given 4 stars as I think it is helping but was hoping for a quicker solution as this is my second month of use
Not sure how well it works
My cat is overgrooming when she stresses. Because of that I use Feliway to reduce her stress levels. She is getting slowly better. However I also changed her food so I’m not sure how much Feliway has helped. I continue to use it with hope that it relaxes my cat a bit.
I adopted a kitten three months ago and although he and my pensioner rescue have been getting on OK-ish, there’s been at least one episode of swatting and hissing a day on the old boy’s part, mainly due to the kitten being overplayful. There has also been a dominance battle on the go, with the elderly cat washing the kitten, who submits, but when the kitten tries to return the favour he gets promptly bitten. Repeatedly and hard.
I’ve had the normal Feliway on the go the entire time but decided to switch onto Friends to see if things could be improved. I plugged it in 10 days ago and nothing seemed to change, and I honestly forgot about it given I was still having to put down World War III skirmishes daily.
But what do you know, this evening I was lying in bed and they both came to join me. Pretty normal. Then the kitten went over to the cat for a wash. Again, pretty normal. It was when the cat let the kitten wash him back without chomping down that I realised – it was working! I expected it to impact on the kitten’s rambunctiousness, so I was stunned to see it working on the highly dysfunctional, poorly socialised, elderly rescue instead.
I confess, I shed a tear or two. It wasn’t instant and they still fight occasionally, but it’s play fighting, and the hissing has almost stopped completely, except when the pensioner is rudely awoken from a nice nap. I now feel some hope that we’ll all be able to get past the difficult teenage months in one piece, and they’ll come out the other side as the company for each other that I planned for them to be.
My 2 year old ginger was on edge all the time. Growling at the doors, at us, at the other cat. Even hyper vigilant at meal times. Not sure why. He’s always been highly strung but this was on another level.they have outdoor access via a microchip cat flat so no issues with cats in their space. I was contemplating getting him to the vet for blood tests to see if he had a health problem but since he was a kitten he goes beserk in a car. Foams at the mouth. Howls. Pants excessively. Awful. I’ve heard of Feliway but I decided , after I read mostly positive reviews, to give it a try. I bought the initial set up from p@h. After two weeks I could see a change. After a month I was convinced. I bought the second lot off Amazon. So almost 2 months in and I can say that it’s been very effective. He’s still slightly on edge (I think it’s his personality) but almost all the growling at everything has stopped. He now plays with and licks the other cat, isn’t hyper vigilant when eating and doesn’t hiss at us anymore. If anything he’s got a better appetite, which doesn’t bode well, because he’s getting big! I only have one plugged in, downstairs by the entrance to the open plan living room. It’s going 24/7. I certainly do ascribe the change to Feliway. Nothing else can explain the huge change in behaviour. Wish humans had a plug in spray!
I have two 10 month old indoor kittens – Brother & sister with plenty of space to roam, hide, play, climb & run.
They’ve never really gotten along even from 8 weeks old there were times when we would worry they were being a bit too rough with their play. We accepted this is how kittens learnt how to pounce & chase etc but as they’ve gotten older it’s became even more aggressive. It was disheartening when I had to separate them to break up a fight, & would worry when we went out that without us there to break it up we would come home to injury’s.
Feliway friends has made a huge difference!
They do still fight, but it’s calmed them both enough that I no longer worry about their fighting if I go out for the day. Since using the plug in we have even managed to go away for the weekend & just have a cat sitter pop in for half hour a day to feed/check up on them, & they were absolutely fine!
It did take a few days before I started to notice a difference but there is definitely a change in their behaviour when using it. I even found them sitting together the other day, something I’ve not seen them do since they were tiny! I’ve also seen more displays off affection between them like grooming & nose boops!
Would highly recommend to anyone with feisty cats!
The best thing about these is that they WORK. I have 12 cats all rescues from early age all have been castrated and spayed. The one thing when you have that many cats you risk the chance of fighting or spraying where they spray urine up items in your house to mark territory. Since we started using these after many other cheaper and more pricier ones these were the only ones that worked and did not leave a horrible smell in the house. Some others we tried stink worse than the cat spray but we found soon as we purchased one of these to start all the cats just went into ime a hippy from the 70s and were rolling around quite near to where it was plugged in. All the fighting from the top 4 cats stopped and they went soppy. All the spraying from several of the cats started to slow down and over the week stopped altogether. These were on a low price and we bought several of these and now just buy these refills now as the main unit lasts a lifetime so ime informed. We have a 3 bedroom house and we plug ours in on the landing upstairs and that’s all we seem to need when we come out the bedroom all the cats are asleep on the landing when we switch this on
You can leave it on permanently but we only stick ours on at night as it’s pointless during the day as the cats are usually out and if you got windows open what’s the point having it turned on its pointless plus it lasts longer when its switched on from about 7.30pm to 8.30am when we start hoovering. I recomend these to all cat owners as these really do work. It’s made our life so much better especially now all the spraying has stopped as that smell is horrendous. Plus it’s nice to see calm cats. You are advised to use this one for more than one cat or they do another for a single cat home but usually if you only got one cat you dont get the hassle of spraying so much if you have a Male that has been castrated and the females dont spray.
This does seem to be working. I, against my better judgement, acquired a new cat (already have 3 others). He was a sad, dirty and neglected little fellow who decided to chance his arm at my place despite not getting the warmest of welcomes from my resident cats. I had intended that if this didn’t work out and my own cats were too stressed or unhappy by his being here I would have to try to rehome him. Before Feliway Friends there was a lot of tension although it stopped short of actual fisticuffs. We had staring and hissing. Previously contented cats would come in through the catflap and as soon as they got a scent/sight of the newbie would go back out again. My most affectionate and sweetest cat stopped wanting to sit with me and became more reserved. There was even some redirected aggression between the two females. It was awful, I felt I’d inflicted this situation on them and made them all unhappy. I had tried Feliway some years ago when I got a second cat and it did seem to work (very little tension for only a short time and then both cats became very at ease with each other and lived out their lives very happily together). I saw an advert for Feliway Friends in Your Cat magazine (I used to have a preconceived notion about the kind of people that buy these magazines until I bought it myself – if you are a cat lover and haven’t ever read it I’d highly recommend it, its really good). Anyway I thought I’d give it a try, ordered it from Amazon a couple of weeks ago – at that stage it was so new there were no reviews and I really like my reviews before I buy. After a day two I noticed some changes, if not total peace and harmony. The new cat, who is only about 7 months, seemed to respond most strongly. Maybe because he is still a kitten, I don’t know. Several times I have seen him licking/cleaning the foreheads of two of the others. Lots of nose to nose greetings and tail hugs. There is still the occasional hiss from one of the older cats but much less and it is only a week since I plugged the thing in. Its hard to know whether things would have worked out in the end anyway without the Feliway Friends but things could just have easily escalated into an all out cat from hell scenario so on balance I think it is the Feliway which has eased things. Also the new cat was neutered a fortnight ago so I think that also has helped. There is a good advice on the Feliway website for helping your cats to get along. Feliway is a effective tool but it is not a magic wand.
