ARG!!! Feliway is turning my cats into Reavers!!!

In the movie Serenity, Reavers are revealed to be humans from the planet Miranda. The Alliance government on Miranda added a chemical agent known as G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate, or simply “Pax” (Latin for “peace”), to the planet’s air processors. The Pax was supposed to calm the population and weed out aggression. The agent worked, but too well. The result was that 99.9% of the population became so lethargic that they stopped working, breeding, talking, and eventually, eating and breathing. They lay down wherever they stood and allowed themselves to die. The remaining 0.1% of the planet’s 30 million people (roughly 30,000) had the opposite reaction to the Pax. Their “aggressor response” increased beyond madness, and they became mindlessly violent and aggressive without limit.

The opposite effect of Feliway’s promise is happening with my cats. Instead of becoming more calm, they’re rubbing their faces on everything, vertically scratching more and more, and fighting, fighting, fighting.
