Hello everyone, We have five cats!


Just wanted to warn everyone about Feliway. My son looks to have had a severe allergic reaction to it. His face looks as if it has been burned. Antibiotics have failed ... he is going to A and E tomorrow to get intravenous antibiotics. My husband did not like Feliway either; he could not sleep. Just wanted to warn fellow cat lovers.

Re: Hello everyone, We have five cats!




Hello - very sorry to hear about your son and hubby. I suppose that everyone is so individual when it comes to allergies. I found that I was allergic to neoprene, but it's actually only one component. Luckily my swollen face went down very quickly once the offending article, a binocular strap, was removed. Guess it's not so easy if there is something in the atmosphere.

Have you let the Feliway company know?

Hello there! So sorry to hear about your family's reaction to Feliway, as Angie said I think you should inform the company as they do keep records of reactions as a matter of course.

Five cats sound like a lovely furry houseful Can you share any pics with us ?

Re: Hello everyone, We have five cats!


Hello and welcome. That must be worrying for you I agree that you should let the manufacturers (or distributors) know.

I found I had a really bad allergic reaction to Pantene shampoo. I always check that beauty products don't contain anything I'm allergic to (nuts/sesame). When I communicated with the brand owner they did the usual 'we're not responsible' rubbish but they did refund me the money I spent on the products.
