Spraying is a common reason why cat owners reach for FELIWAY and here’s why:

When a cat sprays, they’re not being “naughty” or forgetting where their litter tray is. Spraying is a form of communication and can often be a sign that your cat is feeling stressed, unsettled or insecure in their environment. 🐱

Changes at home, a new pet, unfamiliar visitors, moving furniture, or even seeing another cat outside can all make a cat feel like their territory isn’t quite as safe as it used to be.

That’s where FELIWAY can help. FELIWAY products use feline pheromone messages designed to help cats feel more safe and secure in their surroundings. By helping reduce stress-related behaviours, FELIWAY can be a useful part of tackling urine spraying at home.

Remember: if your cat suddenly starts spraying or urinating outside their litter tray, it’s always worth speaking to your vet first to rule out any underlying medical issues.

A calmer cat can mean a happier home. 💜
