For those of you who know Lexy's history, you won't be surprised to hear that madam is once again freaking at strangers being in the house...I think!
I had agents round the house this week and yesterday 3 one after the other from 10-1pm. Result: Lexy's mostly off her food, hasn't had much to eat since yesterday, hasn't pooped since yesterday morning, very unlike her, and is very very clingy....VERY unlike her. :-:
Am I worrying over nothing? I cranked up her feliway and sprayed feliway all over the house, but she keeps wanting to be right by my side wherever I am since the last one left. When the gutterman came end of last year, she was out of it for 2 days :-:
And now that the house is on the market, more strangers will be expected in the house. :-:

My cat Dragan also freaks when strangers (or even friends) visit. He hides away and hunches up and acts all miserable. I have Feliway too and yesterday we had a leak which resulted in the kitchen floor being totally flooded. Had to call an emergency plumber at 6am and joy of joys Dragan actually came to have a look at the plumber instead of shooting upstairs to hide. He wouldn't go for a stroke but stood his ground and I was very proud of him. However today the house will be in chaos as I have central heating engineers flushing out my system. Have agreed an action plan with them that they will do front bedroom first and then Dragan and I will move up there for the day with litter tray, food, water etc. I have to say I am feeling anxious about it already.
I have found it is best to ignore the behaviour and he comes round on his own. The more I fuss the worse he gets. Good luck with Lexy

Could you set her up a hidey hole, in a room that doesnt take ages to view?
You could also try rescue remedy.

Also once you have decided which agent then tell them about your cat being scared pof people. I dont know how it works where you are but my agent in London always came round with the people and was very considerate with Kocka.
