Okay---0kay-Cats are VERY important, and you made a commitment to help. Probably, your husbands' discomfort is temporary---there's a lot going around, these days .It prolly is unrelated to the catt, anyway. He will get over it, it's only a 30-day stay. So yeah---consider it a challenge. Yup. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.
