A Calmer Cat with Cat Pheromone Spray
The typical problems that cat pet owners mention when talking about their beloved feline companions are scratching the furniture or spraying in the house. Cat pheromone sprays are created to be diffused into the air so that the cat is more relaxed in their environment and less likely to participate in these destructive habits.
When a cat rubs up against a person or other animal, what they are really doing is depositing pheromones from the glands that are secreted in the cheek and chin area. This deposit is marking that person or objects as belonging to the cat so that other cats, whether there are any in the house or not, know and recognize the ownership. The other way cats mark their territory is through scratching or kneading, through which the cat is able to again mark its territory through glands in the feet.
A Calming Effect
Cat pheromone sprays, like their counterparts in dog pheromone sprays, have a calming effect on the animals. Cat pheromone sprays are usually diffused into the air by using a plug-in diffuser, which operates much like an air freshening device. At regular intervals, the diffuser sprays a fine mist of the pheromones into the air so that the cat’s environment is kept in a constant state of the calming pheromones.
Other cat pheromone sprays can be bought in a convenient spray bottle so that the car or cat carrier can be sprayed with the soothing pheromones about fifteen minutes before use so that the environment they are in continues to be one that they are used to, which makes the transportation much more enjoyable for the cat. Instead of finding the cat loudly meowing throughout the ride and panting in its stress, with the cat pheromone spray, the cat will be calmly riding along to the destination.
Studies
Studies of cats before and after using the cat pheromone spray have shown consistent results. Studies have shown that cat pheromone spray can be used in conjunction with other therapies that a pet owner might already be using with their cat. In addition, cats that have been regularly exposed to the cat pheromone spray have been shown to dramatically decrease their scratching and spraying behavior, and to increase grooming and eating. Unlike pheromone body sprays, which are specifically made to spray directly on a person’s body, cat pheromone sprays are used strictly in the cat’s environment to produce the calming effect.
