1.
What does the product do?
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray naturally controls
urine marking and scratching, calms cats
in transport and comforts cats in stressed
environments. This unique product is a
copy of the naturally occurring facial
pheromones present in cats. The presence
of these pheromones results in an emotional
calming, reducing the cat’s impulse
to mark its territory.
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray has been proven to help reduce
your cat’s
stress in the following environments and
situations:
- New Home
- Transportation
- Hospitalization
- Boarding
- Introducing a
New Cat
- New Furniture
- Unfamiliar People
- Other Animals
2. What is
the active ingredient?
An analogue
of feline facial pheromones is the active
ingredient.
3. What are
pheromones?
Pheromones are naturally
occurring chemical substances secreted
by animals to communicate, for example, ownership of
territory and mating availability to others.
Pheromones can be secreted from various
locations on the body.
4. How do
cats use facial pheromones?
Cats
use facial pheromones to familiarize
themselves with their environment. Surfaces
that have been marked with these pheromones
are recognized by the cat as familiar,
non-threatening, and comforting. These
facial pheromones are proven to have
an emotionally calming effect on cats.
By mimicking them, Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray is able to soothe cats and
help prevent urine marking.
5.
How is the product used?
After
cleaning urine affected areas, Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray should be sprayed
directly onto the urine marks, as well
as onto prominent objects including furniture,
drapes, window frames and doorways. Urine
marks and prominent objects should be
treated once daily for 30 days.
Urine marks should be cleaned with clear
water only, as detergents and other cleansers
may degrade the product. One depression
of the nozzle should be applied approximately
4 inches from the site, 8 inches from
the floor. Only one spray per application
site is necessary. Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray should be used at room temperature
and shaken before use. If the product is
colder than the room in which it will be
used, leave it in the room for one hour prior
to use. Always refer to the package insert
for complete instructions for use.
6. My male
cat only marks when the neighbor cat
is in heat. Will Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray help?
Yes. When a male
cat is marking in response to the presence
of a female in heat (this is usually accompanied
by continual calling), it is not necessary
to apply Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray
on all prominent objects that could be
attractive to the cat. In this case, it
is sufficient to apply Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray only to the places
marked, which are usually near doors and
windows.
7. We have
eight cats and urine marks everywhere.
What should we do?
The risk of
urine marking is greater when several
cats are present in a household. The
application of Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray should be increased to two or
three times per day on marked sites and
once a day on prominent objects that
could be attractive to the cats. Marking behavior may resume if the stimulus remains present.
8. What if
I have an elderly cat?
With elderly
cats, Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray
may need to be used for 45 days in the
manner described for multiple cat households,
then once every 2-3 days for as long
as necessary.
9. Can I
use Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray to
keep my cat calm during transport?
For
transport in a cage, spray the inside
of the cage with Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray about 20 minutes before introducing
the cat. For transport in a car or other
vehicle, spray 7-8 times around the cat's
usual place in the vehicle before placing
the cat in it.
10. Will
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray reduce
my cat’s stress when I have
to board him?
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray has been proven to reduce
stress when boarding. Spray each corner
of the cattery accommodation before introducing
the cat (total 8 sprays). Repeat the sprays daily until
the cat is observed to rub its head in
the areas of the sprays.
11. Will
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray prevent
our cats from marking in our new house?
To
prevent urine marking by a cat in a new
house, Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray
should be sprayed once per day on prominent
objects that could be attractive to the
cat including furniture, window frames
and doorways.
12. How often
should the product be used?
Urine
marks and prominent objects should be
treated 1-2 times daily for 30 days.
With elderly cats, Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray may need to be used for
45 days in the manner described for multiple
cat households, then once every 2-3 days
for as long as necessary.
13. Once
my cat stops spraying, can I stop using
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray?
No.
For best results, treatment should be
continued once daily for 30 days.
14. How well
does it work?
Several studies*
have shown significant reductions in
urine marking. One such study shows that
95% of cats tested reduced or completely
stopped marking.
15. Is it
a cleanser?
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray is not a cleanser; it is
a solution that works to control vertical
urine marking.
16. Can I
use it with a cleanser/enzyme?
The
use of many cleaning agents and disinfectants
can degrade the active ingredient in
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray. It is
best if the soiled sites being treated
are not cleaned with bleaches, detergents,
or their derivatives. If you do, the
areas should be cleaned thoroughly with
water or alcohol before applying Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray.
17. Will
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray stop
a female cat from marking?
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray is ideal for
controlling urine marking in both male
and female cats.
18. Will
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray stop
a cat from urinating outside the litter
box?
If the cat is
directing urine to a vertical surface (marking),
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Spray is effective
in controlling this behavior. For best
results, it is important to make a proper
diagnosis of behavioral urine marking.
If the cat is squatting and urinating on
a horizontal surface, there are a number
of reasons that may cause this behavior, including:
- Urinary tract
infection or crystalluria
- Inadequate cleaning
of the litter box
- Unacceptable type
of litter or litter box
- Relocation of
litter box to busy area
- Accessibility
of litter box (are they blocked by another
animal?)
