Question:
I'm writing to let you know about the problem/solution I've had with my 6-year-old male shorthaired cat, Phoenix.Off and on during the night, Phoenix would literally stomp around and knock things off dressers, TV sets, etc., until I got up and fed him. This would occur three to four times a night.My very wise vet told me to try Feliway. I got this pheromone spray and diffuser and, to my amazement, it worked the very first night! I strongly urge others with problem cats to try this. Not only is Phoenix a happier cat, but he is starting to shed some of those night pounds.

Answer:
Many years ago, I helped bring ethology (the science of animal behavior) into the veterinary teaching curriculum and practice.One of the fruits of this advancement has been to test and apply research into animal scents (pheromones) in veterinary practice. My colleagues in France can take credit for developing Feliway, which can profoundly alter and improve the behavior of agitated, stressed and distressed cats.I would like to hear from other readers and veterinarians on their use of and success with this product.
