How does it work? Cats communicate through natural “happy messages” released from different parts of their body (e.g. the face, mammary area and paws). Scientifically these are known as pheromones. When comfortable and happy, cats mark their territory as familiar by rubbing their face against corners, furniture, people or other cats at home. By doing that, they release a message. When present in the environment, these “happy messages” provide reassurance to the cats. When modern life conflicts with their natural needs, cats don’t feel completely comfortable. They do not release these “happy messages” anymore and can show signs such as spraying, scratching and hiding. FELIWAY CLASSIC sends “happy messages” to cats and helps make them feel safe and secure at home. Using feline natural reassuring messages, FELIWAY helps your cat happily adjust to the pace of modern life, encourages happiness and helps prevent signs like spraying, scratching and hiding. How fast will i see results? A lot of cat owners will start to see results within the first 7 days. However, every cat is unique. Depending on how long the signs of stress have been present and their severity, it may take longer to see the effects. We recommend using FELIWAY CLASSIC for at least 1 month. How long should i use it? Most cats will benefit from permanent use of FELIWAY CLASSIC to create a happy environment in your home. The minimum recommended duration is one month. When to use it?

In the room where your cats spends most of their time In each room where tension or conflicts happen most often. Where NOT to use?

(If the litter box is in the same room where your cat spends
