Why it matters
FELIWAY Classic plugs into a wall outlet and releases a copy of the facial pheromone cats leave when they rub their cheeks on things. FELIWAY says it helps an individual cat feel calmer and reduces stress behaviors like scratching, urine spraying and hiding.
The kit includes the diffuser and one 48 ml vial; it's unscented.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Moves and renovations

Pros and cons
Pros
- The original formula
- Unscented
- Simple plug-in
Cons
- Refills needed
- Works on one room
- Results vary by cat
Limitations to weigh
- Sudden spraying, hiding or aggression can be a medical problem; see your vet before relying on a calming product.
- Plug diffusers into an open outlet in the room your cat uses most, not behind furniture or under a shelf.
- Give pheromone products a few weeks; most makers say results build over 1-4 weeks.
