Cats communicate with their owners through body language, through meows. Yet there is another very important communication channel for this species that we humans “can only imagine”: chemical and olfactory communication.
By exploiting this principle, the diffuser for cats is able to transmit signals of well-being to the stressed cat.
Diffuser to calm cats: how does it work?
The diffuser for cats emits chemical substances that relax the cat and which are not harmful, as he himself naturally produces them to communicate signals and moods: pheromones.
The essence consists of a sort of “relaxing perfume” that the cat perceives through a specific organ called vomeronasal organ. These odors are not recognizable by humans. Specifically, the diffuser contains “tranquility” pheromones, or ecto-hormones (secreted outside the body) that the cat produces thanks to glands placed mainly on the face and paws.
It is precisely for this reason that Micio often rubs against objects in the house or against us: he is sending signals!
How is it used?
It is a simple diffuser that releases its essence thanks to the electric current. The product is generally effective for a few months, generally 6, after which the diffuser will need to be recharged.
Con regular use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it guarantees an increase in the well-being of our feline and the reduction of incorrect behavior and/or behavior linked to discomfort or stress. It is important to place it in the place most frequented by the cat, away from sources that could block or cause the essence to disperse.
Is the cat diffuser dangerous?
No. It does not contain “drugs” or substances that have an impact on the cat’s body in any way, they are particular smells capable of communicating safety and tranquility to the cat.
The cat recognizes the signals associated with the combinations of over 40 different chemical molecules, therefore the synthetic molecules of the diffuser will be recognized in the same way as the natural ones to which the cat is accustomed from an early age.
In which cases are diffusers for cats useful?
Since each signal has its own combination of chemical molecules, even cat diffusers can be specific to a specific problem or guarantee a general improvement in its mood and well-being.
There are pheromones produced by mother cats that are used in nature to reassure the puppies. Its synthetic version has proved useful in resolving frequent conflicts between cats in the same household. But it doesn’t end there.

Aromatherapy for cats
