How to use pheromones to get cats to get along? If I get the plug ins how many for a 3 bedroom home? If I get the spray do I just spray the room? Would calming treats help my cats get along?

I would recommend having a plug in in every room, you can use the sprays to spray areas where the cats seem to spend the most time - beds, blankets, hideaways etc. Cats are not typically sociable creatures and tend to prefer to spend time alone rather than with other cats, so ensuring that each cat has plenty of space and areas to retreat to is important. Make sure there are places up high they can escape to and private areas auch as boxes that they can hide in. Ensure there are plenty of litter trays - one per cat, plus an extra one, more if possible and that these are in different areas around the home. Also allow for separate feeding areas so that they are able to go and feed separately when they need to and there is no competition for food.
