Cont'd: Why is my cat pissing me off lately?

Today is better. I got my cat some soft chews that reduce stress. I caught him once chewing on trash, but no mess on floor. The fake flowers are still in the closet and not ready to come out yet. I think they are scared. I would be if I was slobbered and chewed on! Right now, my beautiful feline is curled up napping on the bed. Finally he feels safe because there are no strangers fixing things in the apartment. Anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know that kitty is fine, I am fine, and fake flowers are incognito for now.
