Frequently asked questions

How do cat calming diffusers work?

Much like essential oil diffusers for humans, cat calming diffusers release a vapor that promotes feelings of serenity and relaxation. These diffusers release synthetic pheromones that replicate the natural pheromones that make cats feel safe and secure. 

Plug your calming diffuser for cats into the wall. It will slowly heat up the pheromone liquid to create vapor. As the pheromones evaporate, they’re released into the air, creating a calming effect on your furry friend.

What are the benefits of using a calming diffuser for cats?

If your cat experiences stress or anxiety, a cat calming pheromone diffuser may be able to help. Benefits of this diffuser include: 

  • Lowered stress and anxiety: The pheromones released by your cat’s diffuser are designed to mimic the pheromones released by their mother. These promote a feeling of safety and calm and help to treat your cat’s anxiety
  • Deters unwanted behaviors: Sometimes, your cat’s bad behaviors may stem from anxiety or stress. Many find that, when they use cat calming pheromone diffusers, many bad behaviors go away.

Using a cat calming confuser is a fairly easy process and doesn’t take much work. All you need to do is plug it into your wall! We recommend putting it in rooms where your cat likes to hang out. Make sure it has plenty of air circulation so the vapor can circulate around the room.

Do cat calming diffusers have an effect on humans?

No, there’s no need to worry about your cat’s calming pheromone diffuser having unintended side effects on humans. Pheromones are species-specific; humans don’t have pheromone receptors for cat pheromones and therefore cannot detect them.
