I'll try the canned tuna oil for Nicky, thanks so much! I got a can last grocery visit, but forgot about it. Diarrhea from Nicky would be fine, just fine, most welcome!
I forgot to give him his Pepsid AC before bedtime, and we were awake much of the night. I'm beat. Somewhere I also read that Zantac can have some laxative effects, but I haven't seen that happen.
I need to write down his behaviors and what they mean - else I forget (like the night time restlessness).

Gloria,
When I called a few weeks ago Vet at the Barn, the receptionist
said when her cat has constipation she pours the oil from canned
tuna for humans and her cat laps it up and the problem is gone.
But she said it may cos some diarrhea but at least the cat goes.
What does your vet recommand?
Hope he goes soon

No, got it at the drug store, otc. I'm getting worried about him - he
doesn't act sick, except for meows and hisses if I pick him up
wrong or rub
his tummy. No poop in 4 days...
