do diffusers work even if the cat has been fixed?

not sure what it even is or does.
i found a squirt from a water bottle does wonders.
water gun only worked for so long.
my cat has anxiety issues.
If you are concerned with the 'spraying' aspect, then it may help, but spraying is more of a behavior thing... then you'll need to get him on kitty prozac.

every morning about 6:30 he starts complaining that he is hungry
now at night, he wants a snack so he'll knock over his kitty treats from the shelf.
of course there will be the summer 6pm i want to go outside complaint coming up with spring.
we have the most annoying cat ever.
81: how about has us up every three hours at night. torture by cat.
Usually just fixing your cats will keep them from doing weird stuff. I've never had a problem with any of my cats I've had fixed.
When something's wrong with your cat, you gotta put a little fixin' on it :roll:
he is fixed.
he's just gotten stuck on some really bad behavior somehow.
i blame the parenting
one learned to open the storm door and let go so it bangs shut
he does this over and over and over and over
he'll start this at about 4am and then again at 4pm
every day
he taught the other cat to do this as well
they take turns slamming the door
and the inside cat will rip open any crinkly package whether there are cat treats, dog treats, people treats in there...if it's cat treats, he'll eat the entire bag of treats and then barf it all up somewhere behind something for me to find a week later.
cat treats are now in a sealed, air-tight stainless steel container.

To be honest, I think you have an average cat! I have 6, and 3 of them are like hungry hungry hippos that yell for food. We just leave a self-feeder with dry food out all the time, so if they're hungry they can get food themselves. They get a little wet cat food a couple times a day and that's what they yell for.
Never used a diffuser though - but this thread has given me the idea of trying it maybe. We have one psycho kitty who gets pretty stressed (you can't blame him, he lived outside for several years as a feral and we took him in when we found him with a broken leg, and one of the others bullies him, but we try to keep them apart). Is a diffuser supposed to act like kitty prozac?

A friend of mine uses a 'calming collar' on her cat (a collar that releases pheromones). Seems to do the job as well.
no, the feliway diffuser is 'momma cat pheremones' so it helps calm them down. One of my cats, I rescued at 3 weeks old and bottle fed him. He never really learned 'to be a cat' and would jump out from behind something and bombard my other cat and they'd fight screaming and ripping fur out of each other. I got the diffuser, and the attack cat calmed down...a lot.
I really like the diffuser...especially if you have multiple cats.

maybe, but i've never had a cat that was so needy or so damn loud.
but if you would like to cat sit sometime, you are welcome to stay at house when we go out of town.
So about a week or so ago I got the feliway diffuser & put it in my bedroom. This weekend I hot the collar ones too, because the diffuser didn't seem to be working. But I haven't had to put them on because they're suddenly being better this week. It's miraculous. I think it's probably the diffuser finally starting to work. Either that, or maybe they got the hint Sunday morning when I locked them out of the room and then, when they started tearing up the carpet, put an open carrier right outside the door where they were scratching.
slept last night.
had the diffuser for two weeks.
and since he's being such a sweetie lately...
here he is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_4Li864S4A
I think our cats are related! They sound exactly alike.
