Oliver came to us at 4 weeks old and even then he exhibited signs of aggression. I have lived with cats and worked with modifying cat’s behavior since early childhood, turned feral cats social, abused animals confident, etc. I even get calls and emails asking advice from people on their cats. People even (unfortunately) call me the “Cat whisperer”. I figured I could sort this boy out. I’d seen worse. NOPE. Every technique I’ve ever used (and seriously…I’m good) only made him challenge me more. Being gentle didn’t work. Being alpha didn’t work. Ignoring him didn’t work. Rewards didn’t work. Reading his body language…nothing.

Please note he’s also gigantic. About 17 or 18lbs of orange and white, adorable rage.

Oliver believes he is our undying overlord. He patrols the house. If you are doing anything he disagrees with, there consequences. Bloody, bloody consequences.

Look at him? He growls.
Pet him? Get bitten.
Walk by him? Get scratched.
Whistle? Close a drawer too hard for his liking? Move a chair? Close a door he wants open? All of this ends with you bleeding.

We basically live with an uptight miniature lion. He also has this lovely habit of launching himself from the floor at your face if you challenge his decision to break something or attack another cat. The only time he isn’t aggressive is when we get in bed, and somehow he magically morphs into the most affectionate cat I’ve ever had.

After 3 years of trying to get him settled and him only ever seeming to get worse, we had a few people mention this product. Now I think aromatherapy, pheromone products are one of those things crazy people made up to help other crazy people feel less crazy. Beyond skeptical. Laughed at the idea even.

We discussed some options for Oliver with our vet and he said before we go into medicationland, to just give the Feliway a try.

IT WAS INSTANT. He sniffed the diffuser and meowed a meow normally reserved for manipulation, and came over and nudged us both. He spent 5-10 minutes walking around rubbing everything. He let us touch him without attacking us. Is he 100{9566c0a8c38d7ef68d82188668983429d8c3d2118cd02557d3ef814309ae7d10} better? No, he has his moments. But it’s as though it gave him more patience. Something that would normally set him off now just makes him posture like he’s going to fight, but after a second or two, he relaxes. Instead of getting attacked numerous times daily…it’s about once every three days. I’d say he’s 60-75{9566c0a8c38d7ef68d82188668983429d8c3d2118cd02557d3ef814309ae7d10} better. I think the Feliway company is really some sort of cover up for voodoo. That’s how much this worked.

Last night though, he was severe again. Scratched me to the high heavens. Didn’t understand why the sudden regression. Oh. The Feliway ran out. Us, being such skeptics, didn’t order refills. So now we have to live with a feline terrorist until Amazon ships the refills.

Sidenote: we also used the spray version. I spritzed his bed with it and now he refuses to sleep in it. So that backfired and I now have to share a bed with his big ol’ purring constantly, drooling all over me, self. Thumbs down to that stuff.

I didn’t want to add to the medications she was already taking, with a prescription of something like Diazepam (Valium), so decided to give “Comfort Zone” a try.

I noticed an improvement within 8 hours, and by 36 hours, all her feral symptoms had vanished, and she was calm, slept through the night, ate, and was her charming, cuddly self again. During the first 36-72 hour period, there were some “extras,” like her rubbing against my legs while I was standing in the kitchen, but now things are back to normal, and she is behaving the way one would expect a healthy 6 month old to act.

The last month has been quite an ordeal, but with the help of “Comfort Zone,” I feel as though a miracle has taken place, with harmony and peace back in our humble but cozy abode.

This 48 oz. bottle lasts approximately 4 weeks, covers up to 650 sq. ft. and is recommended for all situations that cause stress in a cat, from new environments to the addition of a new pet in the family. It will also treat “urine marking,” another symptom my kitty was exhibiting, as she would spray against the wall instead of urinating into the litter, a nasty habit that required a lot of cleaning up and that “Comfort Zone” has cured.

Completely odorless, the bottle and plug-in unit is a 1-2-3 simple assembly, and feline facial pheromone that is the active ingredient does not affect humans, except to improve their lives by making their fur friends happier.
