Your Feliway diffuser has started to leak, raising concerns about potential risks to your cat's safety from the liquid and fumes.
- Check the diffuser setup and mounting to avoid leaks.

While Feliway products are generally safe and designed for use around cats, leakage might indicate a malfunction, leading to unnecessary exposure. The liquid should not be ingested or come into direct contact with your cat. Ensure the diffuser is functioning correctly by following manufacturer instructions, and consider moving it to a more secure location. If your cat displays any signs of distress, such as vomiting or unusual behavior, consulting with a veterinarian is advised.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
