Diffuser with pheromone for cats Ceva Feliway model 17860

The Ceva Feliway diffuser model 17860 is a plug‑in device that emits a synthetic feline pheromone designed to help reduce stress-related behaviors in cats. Intended for domestic use, the diffuser provides continuous pheromone release to support calmer behavior during common stressors such as moving house, visitors, environmental changes, or the introduction of new animals. It is suitable for use in living rooms, bedrooms and multi-cat households to help reduce urine marking, hiding and agitation and to improve overall feline wellbeing.

Advantages

The Feliway diffuser offers continuous, passive delivery of a synthetic facial pheromone that mimics the natural signals cats use to feel secure. Installation is simple: plug the device into a mains outlet and insert the refill bottle to provide uninterrupted diffusion. The product is intended for background use and works without requiring direct interaction with the cat. Its ready-to-use design makes it practical for everyday situations and transitional periods when cats typically display stress-related behaviors.

Suitable for

• Homes with one or multiple cats where stress-related behaviors (marking, hiding, aggression) occur
• Situations of change such as moving, renovation, or new people and animals in the household
• Indoor living spaces like living rooms and bedrooms up to the coverage area recommended by the manufacturer

When it may not be suitable

The diffuser is not a medical treatment and may not resolve behavioral problems caused by underlying medical conditions; if a cat shows sudden changes in behavior or health concerns, consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. Results vary between individual animals and some cats may show limited or delayed response to pheromone therapy, especially in cases of long‑standing or severe behavioral issues.

Key specifications

• Device type: Plug‑in diffuser for continuous pheromone release
• Active principle: Synthetic feline facial pheromone analogue
• Intended use: Indoor use to reduce stress‑related behaviors in cats
• Covers: Suitable for typical room sizes as indicated by the manufacturer for one diffuser (refer to packaging for coverage area)
• Format: Diffuser device with replaceable liquid refill bottle

How to use

Install the diffuser by plugging it into a vertical mains outlet in the room where the cat spends most of its time and insert the refill bottle into the unit according to the product instructions. Leave the diffuser plugged in continuously for best results; replace the refill as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain consistent pheromone release. Avoid placing the diffuser behind furniture or curtains that could block air circulation, and do not use with extension cords or multi‑socket adapters that may obstruct airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Assess whether the cat's behavior may have a medical cause and consult a veterinarian if necessary
• Consider the size and layout of your living space to ensure adequate coverage from a single diffuser
• Plan for periodic refill purchases to maintain continuous effect

Usage recommendations

For optimal effect, start using the diffuser at least a few days before a planned change (moving, travel, introduction of a new pet) and keep it in place for several weeks afterwards. Combine pheromone diffusion with environmental management and behavioral strategies recommended by a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for best results.
