Default Feliway diffuser w/batteries???

I don't know of a battery operated version, only the spray or plug-in

Spray some Feliway spray on the corners at "cat level." It doesn't
need to be a lot of spray (and only on corners and other things cats
might rub with their cheeks). Spray twice per day.

You can plug in a diffuser near by the door or in the closest room.

What is your litterbox situation? Do you have at least two boxes and
are they kept clean? Have you changed anything that might have upset
him: litter type/brand, new member in the household, working longer or
different hours? Try to minimize stress in the household, if possible.

When was he last seen at the vet's?


He was at the vet last month-- he had a small bladder infection, and
that was the second time in 6 months. He has 2 boxes that are clean
and no litter changes. Believe me, this is actually better than when
we adopted him last year! He is a Tomcat, fixed, 13 yo, HUGE in
stature (IMO, 20 lbs. of solid cat) -- he also was declawed in the
front which I thought had a lot to do with his issues. When he first
came here the world was his box, although he never pooped outside the
box (except once on the litter mat, he got confused, and I stopped
using the mats after that) - then a few months later he was better
adjusted and realized how to be a house cat, even though he was a
biter and got us a few times- but he learned that was not something to
do. He was at a vet hospital, then a shelter, then PetSmart so he
spent over a year in a cage. He was picked up on the street, but was
declawed so he was someone's cat. Hence, I guess this is one big cage
i his eyes, but as i said, he is a lot better.
