I don't know if it should be getting that warm (you wouldn't think so) but I had one a couple months ago and it was hot to the touch and actually smelled like the plastic was burning. I considered it a fire hazard so I tossed it. Losing pets in a house fire once was enough.Originally Posted by Sakura
I wasn't sure where to ask this, so I apologize if it's in the wrong spot.
My Feliway diffuser is really hot to the touch. I leave it plugged in 24 hours a day, should it be getting this warm?
That's what happened to the last 2 diffusers I had. I refuse to use them now. You are supposed to buy a new unit every year, but the last one was NOT used for 1 year. Maybe 6 months. At most. And they aren't cheap either.Originally Posted by catcaregiver

They do get warm to the touch. That’s what makes the liquid diffuse into the air. But they shouldn’t get extremely hot. I’ve read reviews where people have had trouble with them, and I can see how that might happen. I’ve used them for years—both the Classic and the Multicat—and never had an issue, but I do keep a close eye on them. If I had one that got really hot, I’d toss it.I recently bought a multi cat a Feliway unit and had it plugged in for a few days and noticed it was getting warm. I was nervous it might start a fire so I unplugged it. Is it suppose to get warm in order for the liquid to be circulated into the room?
I noticed the forum was started several years ago so I hope someone sees this conversation and can reply.
Thank you
