When Mr. Fuzzypants is shredding the leather couch and spraying the curtains or beating up on the other cats in your house, you can be desperate to find anything that would help. So, can a plug-in improve your cat’s behavior? The answer is complicated. And while pheromones are not a magic bullet, there is evidence to suggest that they might help. The Sci Show video below gives a really nice and entertaining over view of the issues.
Want To See For Yourself? Top Companies That Offer Cat Pheromone Products
FELIWAY
Feliway is owned by Ceva Animal Health LLC who, in their own words, “…is a global animal health company focused on the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceutical products and vaccines for companion animals, livestock, swine and poultry.”
Far and away the best known and most highly respected company in the field. They offer a couple of different types of diffusers and a spray. https://us.feliway.com/
COMFORT ZONE
Comfort Zone is owned by Central Garden and Pet Corp. owner of over 65 brands including Amdro®, Aqueon®, Cadet®, Farnam®, Ferry~Morse®, Four Paws®, Kaytee®, K&H®, Nylabone® and Pennington®. I was a little put off by the fact that the reviews on their site were from people who received the product and payment. However, to be fair they did disclose that, so 2 points for transparency. They offer diffusers, spray and phero infused collars which they say “…can help your cat’s “e-meow-tional” health” which I think is just adorable! They are also less expensive than Feliway. https://www.comfortzone.com/
Conclusion
If you have a cat who is really anxious or two adult cats that are always fighting , I would definitely give pheromones a try.
