What is the Feliway 30-Day 48 mL Refill for Cats used for?
Feliway is a cat facial pheromone. It is not a sedative and has no effect on humans or other animals. Cats that feel safe in their environment tend to leave these pheromones on corners of walls, furniture, and other surfaces by rubbing their heads—from the tip of their noses to the base of their ears. You’ve probably observed this behavior before.
When a cat’s environment undergoes a disruptive change (adoption, vacation, returning from a hospital stay, moving, the arrival of a new pet, loud noises, travel…), the cat may exhibit stress, which manifests as scratching, urine marking, loss of appetite… Feliway helps cats get through these difficult times and regain their emotional balance.
Feliway is based on the cat’s facial pheromone, a natural chemical secreted by glands located on the cat’s face. Cats use this pheromone to mark their territory and communicate with other cats. When they feel safe and comfortable, cats release these pheromones by rubbing their heads against objects in their environment, such as walls, furniture, and corners.
It is important to note that Feliway is not a sedative. It has no effect on humans or other pets in the home. Instead, it works by mimicking the cat’s natural facial pheromone to create a familiar and reassuring environment.
Cats are sensitive animals, and any disruption to their environment can cause stress. Situations such as adoption, vacations, returning from a hospital stay, moving, the arrival of a new pet, loud noises, or even car rides can lead to undesirable behaviors in cats, such as excessive scratching, urine marking, loss of appetite, and anxiety.

Our Expert Opinion as Pharmacists
Pheromones are natural substances that are extremely common in the animal kingdom and are used for communication among individuals of the same species.
Thus, the pheromones emitted by one individual can influence and alter the behavior of other individuals of the same species.
The therapeutic use of pheromones is completely safe and has no side effects.
The pheromones most familiar to pet owners are the sexual pheromones released by female dogs or cats to attract males during estrus, but they can also be used for territorial marking, to intimidate aggressors, and so on.
