Kirsten,
I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say we all get upset at our furbabies now and then. We wouldn't be human if we did. I've learned to laugh at my babies "mishaps" especailly after they broke several of our wedding presents when they play. Doesn't matter how high we put the breakables they eventually get busted. I just shake my head and laugh at them.

Most cats are creatures of habit; if there is something they like, don't fool with it! Don't "new" or "improve" it, it won't be the same (even if it is newer or more improved!).
If I have to move a box or use a different brand of litter, I do it very, very, gradually and avoid most problems.
We did have a spot of trouble when we first moved; Binky was a bit freaked out about the new house and hid all the time. He came out one afternoon and jumped up into my papasan chair and by his posture, I KNEW what he was doing. We threw the cushion outside and washed it, but finally got rid of the chair. I wasn't going to take another chance. BUT he has never done any more peeing in the wrong places (fingers crossed!!).
