I sprayed some Feliway around and turned my back for a second, and now I’m worried my cat licked it up. Is this dangerous?

I sprayed some Feliway around the living room and turned my back for just a moment, only to find my cat sniffing the area closely when I turned back. I'm concerned now that she might have licked up some of the spray. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything I should do immediately to make sure she's safe?

Answer

It's understandable to be concerned if your cat may have ingested some Feliway spray. Thankfully, Feliway products are generally safe for cats and are formulated to be non-toxic.

  • Feliway is designed specifically for cats' safety.
  • Ingesting small amounts typically doesn't cause harm.
  • Monitor your cat for any unusual behavior or symptoms.

Feliway is a synthetic feline facial pheromone product that helps reduce stress in cats. It's made to be safe, even if ingested accidentally in small amounts. However, keep a close eye on your cat for any signs of discomfort, such as drooling, vomiting, or changes in behavior. If you notice anything concerning, contacting a veterinarian would be wise.
