Choosing the right calming product for your cat

Just like us, certain events or situations can cause stress in cats. But unlike us, your cat can’t simply tell you what is making them feel this way. Instead, they display their stress through problem behaviour, which can be distressing for owners too. Such problem behaviour may include vertical scratching, urine spraying or constant meowing. Some causes of stress cannot be removed, such as a new pet or member of the family, or moving house. This means choosing the right cat calming product is essential to help your cat feel more at ease.

Why choose Beaphar CatComfort® as your cat calming product?

Beaphar CatComfort® is a simple and effective solution to reducing problem behaviour in cats and kittens of all ages. The product range uses a synthetic copy of the Feline Facial Pheromone to help your cat feel more at ease. These pheromones are instantly recognised by your cat, and are associated with feelings of happiness and reassurance.

This means using a cat pheromone product, such as Beaphar CatComfort®, will help reassure your cat and reduce problem behaviour.

But, which Beaphar CatComfort® product should I choose?

Beaphar CatComfort® Calming Diffuser

It gives a continuous, reassuring message to your cat, providing you with a long-term solution to reducing your cat’s general feelings of anxiety. The pheromones from the Beaphar CatComfort® Calming Diffuser are instantly recognisable to your cat, helping them feel more at ease.

Beaphar CatComfort® Calming Diffuser AND Beaphar CatComfort® Calming Spray

For certain problem behaviour or stressful situations, both the cat calming diffuser and cat calming spray may be required.

When to use both the Beaphar CatComfort® Calming Diffuser and Spray:

For home based problem behaviour

Use the cat calming spray on the object/area where your cat exhibits the problem behaviour. Plug in the cat calming diffuser in the same room.

Moving to a new home

Use Beaphar CatComfort® to prepare the house before introducing your cat. Choose which room you’d like your cat to spend their time in, and plug in the cat calming diffuser. The diffuser can take up to a week to be fully effective (depending on the size of the room).

In the meantime, use the cat calming spray around the room 15 minutes before moving your cat. This will give a more instantaneous calming effect.

You can also spray their bed to help them feel settled, and leave some toys in the room to keep them occupied.
