Feliway Classic Diffuser & Refill for Cats

Feliway Classic Diffuser & Refill for Cats

The Feliway Classic diffuser for cats is a plug-in pheromone product from Ceva. It gives off a copy of a cat facial pheromone into the room to help cats feel secure at home, and to help reduce signs of stress such as urine spraying, scratching and hiding.

This page offers the Feliway Classic starter kit (diffuser plus one 48 ml refill) and a single 48 ml refill. Feliway Classic is a non-prescription product and is made for cats only.

What is the Feliway Classic diffuser for cats?

Feliway Classic is an electric plug-in diffuser that holds a 48 ml refill vial. The refill contains a synthetic analogue of the feline facial pheromone (the F3 fraction). The manufacturer describes it as sending reassuring signals that help a cat feel safe and settled in its surroundings.

It is a pheromone product, so it works in the background and does not need to be given to your cat. It does not replace veterinary advice.

What is Feliway Classic used for?

Ceva states that Feliway Classic helps cats feel secure and helps reduce signs of stress at home, such as urine spraying, scratching, hiding and reactions to changes in the household or routine.

It is not designed for tension between cats living together. For that, Ceva makes Feliway Friends, which can be used alongside Feliway Classic.

Options on this page

• Diffuser box: Feliway Classic Diffuser starter kit, with one diffuser plug and one 48 ml refill.
• Refill: Feliway Classic 30 day refill, 48 ml, to replace the vial in your diffuser.

Ceva also sells other Feliway Classic pack sizes, such as multipacks of refills, but they are not listed here.

How to use Feliway Classic

• Plug the diffuser into a working socket in the room where your cat spends most of its time.
• Leave at least 1.2 m (4 ft) of clear space above it. Avoid sockets under shelves, behind doors, or near curtains and furniture.
• Keep it switched on all day and night. Each 48 ml refill lasts about 30 days and covers up to 70 m².
• Replace the refill every 30 days. Ceva recommends using it for at least one month. Many owners see changes within about a week, but results vary from cat to cat.
• Make sure your cat has a clean litter tray and a scratching post, as the diffuser does not replace these.

Safety information

• Keep the refill out of reach of children and read the label before use.
• If the refill liquid is swallowed, get medical advice straight away.
• Ceva advises that Feliway Classic is not suitable on its own if urinating in the wrong place, hiding or loss of appetite could have a medical cause. Speak to your vet first in those cases.
• If your cat’s signs are severe or do not improve, speak to your vet.
