We are in the middle of painting and having new floors installed so I can relate a little bit. My suggestion to you is Feliway. I just got a new order of it delivered by UPS yesterday. It should help calm everybody, it seems to help here. I use the plug-ins and the spray. When the new floors are installed next week I will have to really kick up the spray and pray that Ripley doesn't decided to spray anything since all the smells have changed.

Right now Petco.com has plug-in and refills on sale for a good price and Petfooddirect.com has the spray on sale cheaper. Petco has an online coupon. If you need it just PM me.

Good luck!
