Feline Anxiety & Pheromones

Feline anxiety can be a huge issue for both cat and owner. Fortunately, pheromones―whether natural or synthetic―can be extremely beneficial in soothing feline anxiety issues.

  1. Causes

    • When something new disturbs a household, it can cause anxiety. Causes of feline anxiety include new family members, new pets, loss of a companion―whether it be human or pet, changes in food and moving into a new home.

    Symptoms

    • Signs that a cat may be suffering from anxiety include changes in behavior or temperament, excessive licking or chewing, urinating in inappropriate places and excessive vocalization.

    About Pheromones

    • Pheromone products contain the same type of friendly pheromones that a cat would release through the glands in the face. By using these friendly pheromones, the owner can sooth feline anxiety and modify any unwanted behavior.

    Pheromone Sprays

    • Pheromone sprays need to be sprayed in areas that are stressing out the cat. Sprays should be applied in the same place every day for a minimum of one month to be effective.

    Pheromone Diffusers

    • For owners who are unsure of the underlying cause, pheromone diffusers may be beneficial. Pheromone diffusers are simply plugged into the wall and cover approximately 600 square feet.
