Cats that are stressed may become withdrawn, spending more time under the bed or behind the sofa or they may start spraying urine or urinating in inappropriate places. Spraying can be done by both male and female cats and can be very distressing for all concerned.
Cats spray to release pheromones that surround them with their own scents (which we cannot smell) and this helps them feel more secure, although the anger of their keepers (not owners of course) may not help that security. There is help at hand. We now recommend a pheromone that mimics the cats own and, therefore, makes them feel happy and stops them spraying. The product is simply plugged into a socket and the pheromone is released just like an air freshener but with no smell. The great thing is that we can help cats (and their owners!) de-stress without any tablets or medications. If you think your pussycat is feeling a bit tense then speak to your local vet and see if they can help.
