Reviews: Training Aids for Cats - Products That Help with Training
Behavioral problems in cats can sometimes be nipped in the bud with commercial training aids. These include nail caps for scratching, pheromone-type products to stop spraying, and products to discourage cats from counter-surfing or exploring forbidden places.
Feliway Comfort Zone Spray & Feliway Comfort Zone Plug-In Diffuser
In the mid 1990s, Farnam Companies, Inc., developed a new spray product, Feliway, which mimics the "friendly" facial pheromones cats apply to surfaces to show their "ownership." It is believed that cats will not mark with urine any area they have previously marked with their facial pheromones. Spraying a previously urine-marked surface with Feliway has proven to be greatly effective in discouraging urine spraying.

Cat Attract was developed by a feline-only veterinarian as a "training litter." This litter contains a natural herb "attractant" that piques a cat's curiosity in the litter.
