Default Plug-in feliway

Hi ,
Kim went to the vet today with a re-occurrenceof cystitis and I've
bought a plug- in feliway .
Does anyone else use this ? I didn't expect to smell anything but I
can smell something !. The plug iself isn't hot but I can feel heat if
I hold my hand over the diffuser and wondered if it's safe to leave in
all the time?
Alison

I've got one running all the time. It gets a little warm but I wouldn't call
it hot.
I don't smell anything with the one I have running.

Alison,

There is always some warmth from the Feliway diffusers, and the "stem" that
extends from the lid to the base of the jar will eventually discolor and
turn brown. I can't smell anything from mine unless I get very close to the
diffuser. However, there is some scent when the spray is used; so it's
possible you are getting a little extra from yours. Can you still detect an
odor if you stand a few feet away? If so, you might want to exchange it.

I have used the diffusers in different parts of my home. I have smelled an
odor with one of them....it's in the upstairs hallway. Whenever I plug a
diffuser in there, I smell an odor. I think it's because it's in a smaller
area, not in a room. With the diffusers that I have in bigger rooms (I have
one in the living room and one in the family room) I do not smell an odor.
So I really think it's the closed area where you get the smell. And yes,
the diffusers are a little warm.

Hi ,
Thanks for all the replies. I had Kim's heat panel on at the same
time. It's quite old and I think it got too hot for the armchair. Time
to get a new one! I turned both off earlier and put the diffuser back
on a few minutes ago and I can't smell anything.

I always notice an odor from a new dispenser, but after it's been
plugged in for a while, the smell goes away.
