Even though keeping the pets in a smaller room normally is not what you'd want to do, you might consider keeping them locked in one room, preferably your bedroom, complete with food, water, and litter boxes, for those four days. Had I known that Cricket would get so stressed when we had 10 family members staying with us, I would have done the same. Hindsight is 20/20.

I have a question.... Boy's Leukemia showed it's ugly face because of our move to the new house (stress on him). Although I have had Sherman and Ripley tested for this nasty disease, (thanks to God they were negative!!!!!), I am concerned that if they get stressed out, this will become an issue again. I am scared to pieces to let them feel any anxiety or stress. My point is that we have family that will be staying with us next week, about 16 people. To say the least, this will be a huge change for the kitties since they are use to just two of us being in the house. Is there anything I can give the cats to calm them durring this time? (Family will be here for four days) I'm paranoid that the slightest stress will make them ill (Feline Leukemia will show it's ugly face again). I know they were tested, negative, but so was Boy when he was a kitten! We had no idea that he even had Leukemia until we moved. Please advise if you have any suggestions. Thanks! Ang Moody friends.
