Have you used feliway and if so what did you use it for and did it work for your pets?

I'm thinking about trying it for anxiety. Not sure if I should spend the money or invest in getting anti-anxiety meds for my cat. I'm really short on money so I need to think about this choice.

I have four cats. Two new babies and two older (6 year olds) cats. The older cats are having a hard time adjusting...one in particular. She is not recognizing her sister. Hissing. Grumbling and growling. Swating...etc.

correction...

I had very good luck with the Feliway spray in helping ease some marking problems brought on by anxiety when we brought a new cat home and the old one was trying to work things out.

I did not notice any change in my cat when I used the Feliway plug-in when we adopted the d*g, however our cat is very mellow and really never felt anxious about his new "sister". Other members have had varying experiences and hopefully they will post their insights here.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!

I use Feliway plug in when introducing a new kitten about 8 months ago just as a precaution and everything seemed to go well. Not really sure if it made a difference but was worth it just in case. If you can find a wholesale distributor in you're area the are much cheaper than retail pet store suppliers.
And the plug in works for just over a month, I think the package says something like 45 days.

I've heard of other people using a product call Rescue Remedy for anxiety maybe that is something someone here can inform you about too.
