Why the sweetest cats suddenly start doing the most awful things

The hissing. The swipe across the kitchen floor. The wet patch you find on the sofa. It can feel like they've turned on each other, and on you. They haven't. They just don't feel safe at home right now.

Happy cat, happy home

At your wits' end? You're not alone.

The smell hits you as you walk through the door. You dread mornings to see what's been wrecked. The vet has found nothing wrong, and you're running out of ideas.

Maybe your two have fallen out and you're keeping them in separate rooms. Maybe he's licked himself bald since the move. Maybe your rescue has never really settled.

And at the back of your mind is the thought you hate saying out loud: "I don't want to rehome her."

If the behaviour started suddenly, see your vet first.

It's not spite. It's stress.

She's weeing on the bed, sofa or rugs

It feels personal. It isn't. Stressed cats often go on the things that smell most of you, because that's where they're trying to feel safe.

Once your vet has ruled out a medical cause, stress is one of the most common reasons.

My two cats have fallen out

Cats who used to share the sofa can fall out over a change you barely noticed. The stand-offs, the hissing, the bullying at the food bowl don't mean they hate each other.

It means one or both of them no longer feel safe at home.

He hides under the bed all day

Hiding, crying and over-grooming often start after a move, a new baby or a new pet. It's his way of coping when his world suddenly feels unfamiliar.

She's terrified of fireworks

Bonfire Night and New Year's Eve can undo months of calm in one evening. Planning a few weeks ahead makes a real difference.

My rescue has never really settled

Some rescues arrive carrying a lot. They need time, patience and a home that feels steady around them. You're already giving the first two.

I feel like I've failed her

You haven't. You're here, looking for a gentle way to help. That's what a good owner does. And it's not too late.

Why she chose the sofa

It isn't random, and it isn't revenge. The sofa, the bed, your side of the duvet: they're the places that smell most of you, and most of home.

Cats feel safe through scent. When something changes, that familiar 'I'm safe here' message fades, and she tries to put it back the only way she knows.

Help her feel safe again, and she's less likely to need to.

Why nothing has worked so far

Extra litter trays, new cleaners, keeping them apart. They all deal with what you can see.

What she's looking for is the feeling of this: a warm spot, the sun on her back, nothing to be on guard about. Safe enough to switch off, in every room she uses, all day and all night.

If you've tried a plug-in before and couldn't tell if it was doing anything, it usually came down to one of these.

How Gliho helps her feel safe

Small, quiet, always on

What it is: a plug-in that gently warms a plant-based refill, releasing a copy of the calming signal a mother cat uses to comfort her kittens.

  • Steady, day and night – a heat-controlled release that doesn't fade after a week
  • Nothing for you to smell – no added fragrance or alcohol
  • Lasts a month – each refill gives about 30 days

What it feels like for her

In short: the room starts to smell like safety again, so she has somewhere to switch off.

  • A familiar signal – 'you're safe here', in the rooms she uses most
  • No drugs – nothing to give by mouth, nothing to wrestle her with
  • Plug in and forget – no sprays to remember, no routine to keep up

Home, the way it used to be

Day one

Plug it in where she spends most time. Nothing for you to smell, nothing for her to take. Just leave it on.

The first couple of weeks

What to look for: the tension starting to ease. Fewer stand-offs in the hallway, fewer mornings bracing yourself for what you'll find.

A few weeks in

What we're aiming for: less hiding under the bed, more coming to find you, and two cats who'd fallen out able to share a room again.

Home smells like home

The goal: fewer wet patches to scrub, and a sofa that's somewhere to sit again, not something to cover in towels.

The lap cat comes back

What it's all for: evenings on the sofa together, her purring on your lap. Happy cat, happy home.

Every month after

Swap the refill and the calm carries on. It won't suit every cat, so if it doesn't help, you get your money back.

Honest answers

Will it work for my cat?

We won't promise a miracle. It won't suit every cat. What it does is help your cat feel safe and settled, which supports a calmer home.

Give it 2–3 weeks. If it doesn't help, you're covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

I tried a diffuser before and couldn't tell if it was working.

You're not the first to say that. It usually comes down to one of three things: only one room was covered, it came out before 3 weeks, or it ran out and the gap undid the progress.

The minute it runs out, many cats start again. That's why we suggest one per room and never letting it lapse.

How long before I notice a difference?

Some cats show small changes in the first week. For most, give it 2–3 weeks of being plugged in day and night. Every cat is different.

How many diffusers do I need?

Each diffuser covers about 700 sq ft. Use one for each room she spends real time in, plus the room where the weeing or squabbles happen. Walls and doors block the scent.

As one customer told us: "Four diffusers will cover the house well."

Is it safe? What's in it?

It's drug-free, with a plant-based formula and no added fragrance or alcohol, so there's nothing added for you to smell. Your home just smells like home.

Can I use it for Bonfire Night and New Year's Eve?

Yes. Plug it in 2–3 weeks before, so she's settled by the time the fireworks start. For Bonfire Night, mid-October is a good time.

My two cats have fallen out. Can it help?

It's designed to support a calmer home, which gives them a better chance of getting along again. Cover every room they share, and reintroduce them slowly.

How does the subscription work?

Never run out, so the calm never lapses. Refills arrive before the old one runs out. Pause or cancel any time.

The behaviour started suddenly. What should I do?

If the behaviour started suddenly, see your vet first. Sudden changes can have a medical cause, and that always comes first.
