What does the product do?
Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway
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 Spray with Feliway 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 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 Spray with Feliway is able to
soothe cats and help prevent urine
marking.
5.
How is the product used?
After cleaning urine affected
areas, Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway
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 1-2 times 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 Spray
with Feliway 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 1 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 Spray with Feliway 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 Spray with Feliway on all prominent
objects that could be attractive
to the cat. In this case, it is sufficient
to apply Comfort Zone Spray with
Feliway 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 Spray with Feliway
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.
8.
What if I have an elderly cat?
With elderly cats, Comfort
Zone Spray with Feliway 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 Spray with
Feliway to keep my cat calm during
transport?
For transport in a cage,
spray the inside of the cage with
Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway about
20 minutes before introducing the
cat. For transport in a car or other
vehicle, spray 3-4 times around the
cat's usual place in the vehicle
before placing the cat in it.
10.
Will Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway
reduce my cat’s stress when
I have to board him?
Comfort Zone Spray with
Feliway has been proven to reduce
stress when boarding. Spray each
corner of the cattery accommodation
before introducing the cat. Repeat
the sprays daily until the cat is
observed to rub its head in the areas
of the sprays.

prevent our cats from marking in
our new house?

objects that could be attractive
to the cat including furniture, window
frames and doorways.
12.

Urine marks and prominent
objects should be treated 1-2 times
daily for 30 days. With elderly cats,
Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway may

should be continued 1-2 times daily
for 30 days.

significant reductions in urine marking.
One such study shows that 95% of
cats tested reduced or completely
stopped marking.

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 Spray with Feliway. 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 Spray with Feliway.
17.
Will Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway
stop a female cat from marking?
Comfort Zone Spray with
Feliway is ideal for controlling
urine marking in both male and female
cats.
18.
Will Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway
stop a cat from urinating outside
the litter box?
If the cat is directing
urine to a vertical surface (marking),
Comfort Zone Spray with Feliway 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
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?)
