Comfort Zone 60 Day Starter Kit: 1 Cat Calming Diffuser & 2 Refills; Cat Pheromones Help Anxiety; Reduce Stress, Urine Marking, Scratching

Pheromones are known to help with so many unpleasant situations cats go through, and these pheromone diffusers work magic! No smell to humans, just plug them in and let the magic fill the air with kitty-calming fierceness. I use them when introducing rescues, keeping the peace & around the time when fireworks seem to go on forever. I have a one bedroom apartment…about 620 sq ft and I plug one diffuser into a living room socket. After 8 hours I move the diffuser to the bedroom. The pheromones work quickly, and honest to goodness, after 1-3 days there is harmony with the kitties here.Kitty folks know skittishness and stranger introductions can be nerve wracking. Trust me…try these diffusers. You’ll be just as amazed as I am with the wonderful results.

I originally bought this for a very scared new kitten I'd gotten years ago. I tried every trick I'd learned to help a new kitten adjust to a new home and new owners but nothing was working. She was so scared, I couldn't get her to come out from under the bed. So, I decided to try this because a veterinarian recommended it to me. It is a synthetic pheromone that mimics the pheromone that new cat mothers release in order to keep their newborn kittens calm and safe while they nurse and sleep. I didn't have much faith in this, at first, but was willing to give it a try.I was told it could take up to 2 weeks and should be plugged in the room the cat is in most often. It doesn't affect humans and we can't smell it.I continued to lay on the floor and talk to her as she hid under my bed, made eye contact with her, would reach my hand out to her and even sing to her. Nothing.By day 4 with Comfort Zone plugged in two different outlets in my bedroom, I heard her start to purr as I talked to her. Then, I put my hand out and she slowly sniffed it. Eventually, I had her rubbing her face against my hand, which means she's marking me with her scent; an honor coming from a cat. Little by little, I noticed a bunch of changes from her coming out from under the bed during the night time to eat by the window, rather than eating under the bed, walking around the room in curiosity about what different things there were to smell and climb and then came the biggest change which I began to fear may never happen: She jumped up on my bed and slept at my feet. After that, I knew that with time she'd be the affectionate kitty I knew she wanted to be. The poor thing was just so overtaken by fear and anxiety that she wasn't able to do anything about it until she felt safe enough. That was my first experience with this amazing product. I've used it for many cats for a variety of different issues, most recently being, my 4 year old Burmilla cat bullying my 2 year old Burmese cat. I've plugged two in for them. One is in my bedroom, where my younger cat hides from the bully cat and the other is plugged into the outlet near the cat tree downstairs, where my lovely but bully kitty tends to hangout. These have been plugged in for a week and a half now and there have been a lot less fights, my younger cat has gained some confidence and leaves my bedroom during the day for small periods of time, here and there. My older cat isn't stalking the younger one as much and seems to be less pent up with urges to attack something or someone.It's hard to know how much is time, work on the owner's part and how much is from this pheromone but given the number of times I've used it and there has been some change, though neither drastic nor complete personality change, it's enough behavioral change to give me belief that it definitely plays a beneficial role in most cats' progress.

It came already opened, haven’t had the opportunity to test it yet- will add review after 30 days to update then as I refill I’ll keep updated.Previously this product worked well for my lil fur babies but as it’s been a few years I’m unsure. Worth a try tho!

I’ve used both Feliway and Comfort Zone.I’m honestly not sure if either works all that well for my particular cat. Up until recently he had a pretty chronic urinary tract issue I wasn’t quite aware of the extent of that led to spraying and urinating on the carpet. I got him on a healthier low phosphorus and magnesium diet (seriously go to your vet and figure out a diet to get your male cat out of a UTI, crystal cycle that might be present). A better specialized diet has gone a long way in the last month for me. There’s a lot of good info on cat health/nutrition diets available these days that might honestly be a good complement or alternative to a product like this.This product is cheaper (significantly so than Feliway), so if moneys is an issue it might be worth sticking to this. My cats not really a good test case for it’s fidelity in my last two years of switching on and off of the two products.I will say that the design of the Comfort Zone plug in is far more stable on the wall than Feliways. The actual vials of fluid of Comfort Zone tend to leak a tad and get a tad sticky/slimy to the touch in some circumstances which probably means the covers are probably not fully sealed.The actual process of how the comfort zone product works or the formula of the fluid tends to kick up wet/sticky steam that can coat the walls and stick to the plug-in and bottle, so removal is a tad messy. I’d not noticed either issues with the Feliway brand.Not a huge deal. It just comes with a higher degree of needing to clean the product and the area around the plug-in a tad more.This product you are trading some degree of quality for cost savings at least in terms of how the tech part of the product works and how it’s packaged.You’ll need to look to other reviews from people who didn’t just in a Hail Mary continue to buy the product just in case it helped a smidge over the last two years.

I was hesitant to buy this product because of some of the reviews mentioning a burning plastic smell, but I’m happy to report I didn’t experience that at all. Both of my cats usually run and hide the moment someone new walks through the door--especially if it’s a stranger. However, when we had an unexpected visitor recently, they stayed calm and didn’t run off. Could it really be working this well already??My male cat typically bullies my female cat, but since plugging this in, they haven’t fought once in two days. It might be a little early to tell, but I’m already seeing a noticeable difference in their behavior. Earlier today, they were laying just two feet apart, and right now they’re even sitting next to each other.So far, I’m a huge fan of this product and very happy I gave it a try!UPDATE: I have experienced the burning plastic smell. It's not overpowering. I just hope we're not breathing in toxic chemicals. Cats are still much calmer and fighting less.
