Unfortunately, hubby thinks Allen should just deal with it! Seriously, typically, what they are upset about evens out and they go back to normal. Some take longer to normal out than others, and some might be fine one day but the next test positive for crystals in their urine since they got themselves so worked up about being upset.

My Pouncer is the one who works himself up. I've taken him for testing and he came back 100% healthy. A week later he was loaded with infection.

I just sit back and trust my instincts with both my pee-ers. There are drugs to help destress them. I wanted to try the treats that have drugs in them, but it says for 7 days. So, what I'll do is start Allen on them next week as Tony heads back to college, and then a few days after he leaves. In the meantime I'll clean Tony's room and make it all perfect for the big brat. Then when Tony comes home for Christmas break, so the same, where he'll get the stress treats a few days before he comes home and a few days after he's home.

I watch closely who does what in which litterbox. I never have ot worry about Harry or the girls... I keep an eagle eye on Pouncer and Allen though, and make mental notes of any changes. Allen's still peeing, like he has all summer, but instead of twice a day, it is down ot every other day.... in other words the brat is slowly coming terms with Tony usurping his room. Now I know to watch what happens after Tony returns to school, because in Allen's feline brain, he'll be UPSET since its one more change. Allen will be hugely upset by Tony being gone... despite that we humans would think its GOOD since now Allen has his room back.
