Tips On Alleviating Stress in Cats

Cats are independent by nature, and like to be in
control of things. When they are not, they can
become quite distressed. Common causes of stress
in cats include moving to a new house, travelling
or being crated, visits to the vet, or the
presence of other cats within its territory.

Obvious signs of stress include wild eyed frenzy
accompanied with the desperate need to escape;
irritability, including continual meowing;
urinating or scent marking; and clawing at
furniture, bedding, or rugs. Some of these
symptoms are often mistaken for errant
behaviour, but in order to cure the behaviour,
one needs to reduce the levels of stress being
experienced by your cat.

Feliway Feline Facial Pheromones (try saying
this after you've had a drink) is a product
recommended by vets to soothe and comfort
stressed cats, and alleviate unwanted stress
related behaviour. This product uses artificial
feline pheromones that cats naturally discharge
from their facial area to mark a safe territory
once they feel safe and secure within the
confounds of the area. Cats do this by rubbing
their faces on objects within their territory,
giving off facial pheromones to mark the area
with their scent, which acts like a kind of
kitty comfort blanket that gives them a sense of
security and well-being.

The spray replicates the natural scent that cats
leave when they perform this scent marking
procedure, and in so doing, offers a sense of
security to alleviate anxiety and calm the cat
down. Feliway feline pheromones offer an
effective solution to reducing stress in
distressed cats by replicating the cats natural
mechanism that it would use to relay a sense of
comfort and well-being, in order to help him
deal with a stressful situation.

This product can be purchased in spray form,
which is perfect for applying straight onto
objects, for example spraying inside a cat
basket to offer contentment and reassurance and
alleviate stress associated with crating and
travel.

The Feliway Feline Facial Pheromone Diffuser
offers a novel method of keeping a
well-adjusted, happy cat that always comes home
to snuggle up in a cosy corner, or just laze
contentedly around the house. The diffuser plugs
into an electrical wall socket, giving off a
continual burst of pheromones. Your cat will
truly believe that there is no place like home.
Besides relieving stress and anxiety in cats,
this product is also affective for controlling
behaviour such as territory marking by urine
spraying, and clawing at furniture, which are
often related to stress associated with the
introduction of another cat or pet into your
home (or rather, the cats home). The diffuser
fills the room and the calming action of the
pheromones reduces anxiety and alleviates the
behaviour associated with territory and scent
marking.

The Feliway Feline Facial Pheromone diffuser
comes with a 48ml vial, which lasts up to a
month. Refills for the diffuser can be purchased
separately. Feliway Feline Facial Pheromones can
also be bought in a 60ml spray bottle and a 15ml
travel bottle for easy portability when needed
away from the home.
