I've used them.  The cats seemed to start getting along better.  But after a
while both cats seems kind of irritable so we stopped using them.

Which proves exactly nothing.  But then again the group is anecdotes.

I tried a diffuser when Nikki was pulling out her fur on her tummy and
legs, but it didn't really help, but then, she was later diagnosed with
hyperthyroidism, and after she was put on medication for that, she
stopped pulling out her fur. Then I plugged in a diffuser the last time
we moved. I can't be sure that it had any effect on the cats, maybe they
would have acclimatised just as quickly without the diffuser. I didn't
use one when I moved this summer.

Then I plugged in the diffuser for a few days when I first got Miranda.
I can't say for sure that that had any effect either. Nikki hissed at
her, which upset her so she hissed at both Frank and Nikki in the
beginning.

I've also noticed that the diffuser has a strange effect on me - I get
hot flashes when it's plugged in! Not nice at all.

I have tried them and noticed no difference in the way my 4 acted.

A couple years ago, we had a lot of skirmishes between Lizzie & Smokey, so I
decided to try the Feliway diffusers.  It sure calmed down the two hissy
cats, but Weeble, who was about 6-9 months old at the time, freaked.  We had
two diffusers, one in the main living/dining room, one in the master
bedroom.  He wouldn't leave the spare bedroom.office, and when he did, he
was paranoid that he was going to get pounced by this strange cat that he
could smell but couldn't find!  We unplugged the diffusers, and he came out,
but was still wary for a while.  After a few weeks, he was almost back to
normal.  We ended up giving away the diffusers :(

This was probably a one-in-a-million effect.  I'm just putting it out there
that it *could* happen.

It's very hard to know what effect the diffusers are having, if
anything.  I mean, Stinky hisses at the kitten, but he hasn't killed
him yet. ;)  Maybe it has saved Dante's life, but I have no way of
knowing!  ;)

Make Levees, Not War

It seems as if lots of you have used Feliway for households with more than
one cat.  I was wondering if any of you have used it for unneutered males
spraying.  I am probably going to purchase a dispenser.  I did notice Finn,
making nice with an item I sprayed and then he turned around and well....you
know.  I yelled, "no!", and he skedaddled.
