Great questions! Feliway contains synthesized cat pheromones, which helps cats with anxiety and stress, and can potentially help with urine marking and scratching. In my experience, it does help and I've seen very positive results in cats whose owners have used. The cat pheromones used in Feliway are odorless to us, but is a replication of a pheromone that cats leave when they are comfortable in their environment. Every time a cat rubs against an object, they are leaving this pheromone behind to mark their territory. Using Feliway can help a cat feel more calm and comfortable, and can reduce stress related behaviors such as urine marking. I recommend using the plug in diffuser of Feliway, which can be left on continuously and lasts about four weeks. You should start seeing results within a couple of days of using it, if not sooner. I hope this helps!
