The company Feliway for Cats sells items that help with multi- cat households, scratching, spraying, territorial, and solitary. They also help with cats and stress issues. Feliway is a synthetic copy of feline facial pheromone.
One could buy a Feliway spray bottle online, from websites such as Amazon or Ebay. One can also buy a Feliway spray bottle from the company's website. Feliway also has stores across the U.K.
It depends why your cat is excessively licking himself. If stress is the trigger, then a Feliway Diffuser may help.
The Comfort Zone from Feliway is used to keep your cats or other feline friends calm. It works on a design which was patented by them and you can find more information on it at their website.
Neutering has absolutely nothing to do with it. The cat is simply marking its territory. When cats spray, they leave a scent that warns approachers that the spray site is his property. To stop it, buy a cat pheromone and plug it in (it's like an air freshener you plug into an outlet) where he frequently sprays. He may be spraying becuase he is re-enforcing his claim because of a threat, like a dog, child, or frequent trespasser. The pheromone will calm him down when he comes near, and may not spray. Aslo, place more litter boxes throughout the house in areas that are private, uninterrupted, quiet and easily accessable. Show him these places and he might use them. Hope this helps!
No, rabbits do not spray like cats. Cats spray to mark their territory, while rabbits do not have the same behavior.
Feliway is ment to help calm a cat down and to lessen stress. So if the cat is biting because it's upset or stressed, then yes. If, however, the behavior is something it's Always done, then the problem is Training- so Feliway wont help much. You would need to Train the cat that this behavior is a problem. When cats play together (or fight) they bite, a cat has to be trained that they have to be more gentle with people.
The answer is no. I tried a Glade plug in and and Air Wick plug in and neither accommodate the vial like the Feliway diffuser. Even cutting bits off various 'cheap' diffusers to make the vial fit did not work. only through the Feliway diffuser will the potion be dispensed. *Very expensive and niche market for the original diffuser though :( You can, however, get the diffuser as cheap as $18 online (Amazon, About.pricegrabber, etc.) rather than the $46 at the PetSmart nearby me.
It depends on the nature of the problem and how long it's been a problem. Some cats show signs of improvement in less than a week. Feliway suggests using it for at least a month before assessing the effectiveness...I hope your cat is doing well!
Cats have a special gland near their rectum. it can release a foul odor. Cats who have been fixed when young rarely spray.
Dumb Cat Anti-Marking and Cat Spray Remover. It contains no enzymes and is formulated to work on cats fur. It even gets out Skunk Spray better than any product for skunk spray.
