It's a tenouous equilibrium we've reached. There's a litterbox in
front of the closet door he likes to pee on, filled with Cat Attract.
The bathroom that he's marked is closed most of the time (though we
open it when we're in the area and can supervise him). He's stopped
marking in other spots where he's done so.

The plan is to slowly inch the litterbox away from the door (in our
front hallway). Maybe we can get it back in the basement, maybe we'll
just need to keep it on the first floor. But Louis is increasingly
calmer.

Bengals, like other pure-breds, seem to me to be pretty nervous and
skittery. A little disruption can freak them out.

Luckily we have a good barometer for when he's stressed. If you pet
him, and he cringes and goes flat, then he's worried about something.
You can also call his name, and watch his reaction. If the tail goes
up and he rubs against something, he's fine. if the tail stays down,
there's a chance he's upset about something.
