Thanks for that info. The vet's receptionist was talking about that unfixed tom odor and I think I assumed it was a remover not a re-scent, for lack of a better word.

As we just adopted an unfixed tom...tho as of yesterday that has been remedied! We have been using the FON, I actually haven't tried the Feliway. But we will need it as the poor boy had an accident on the seat in the van on the way home, altho we had a litterbox set up for him, I don't think he'd ever used a box before, but like the trooper he is, he has used it since we got him home.

He is a big bruiser, and he even has stitches to prove it. He was dumped at a campground (ggggrrrrr, how can anyone do that, especially to a big sweet lug like him?). When he has to go back in 2 weeks for his stitch removal, re-worming and booster shots, I will get some of the Feliway for the van seat.

This would be unnecessary unless you plan on letting him hang out in your van often. The pheremone looses it's odor (although humans cannot smell it at all) after a week or so. Feliway does not in ANY way mask the smell of urine stains. It changes the behavior of repeat sprayers from staining the same area again when used AFTER a stain has been properly cleaned with a good enzyme cleaner (such as FON).

Well, he will be traveling with us as the weather gets better. It's not just a van it's a VW camper van and we have traveled with our kitties since one of them became a diabetic in mid 90's. We lost him and the next one too last summer, so now our new fella, now named Sugar Ray will be spending lots of time in the van. I'm not sure if the Feliway will be a necessity, tho as he has settled in to use the box quite well. We feel the seat was a startle response and lack of previous litter box use/acquaintence.
