First spray treatment for the bugs appears to have gone ok. Wrestled the cats into carriers and camped out in the building lobby for a few hours. Beatrice (the semi-feral) gave me a small scratch on the face, voided her bowels, and bellowed with rage and fear, but she and Nana were both pretty quiet in the lobby (there’s a gas fireplace, and we think they liked the warmth) and both appear to have now forgiven us (Beatrice came over for scritches a couple of minutes ago) although now I think I hear them growling and hissing at each other.
Tomorrow morning have to clear out the front closet/laundry room so someone can come clean out the ducts.

I’m not certain if it’s leftover stress, or if it’s because I took the opportunity, before removing Beatrice from her carrier, to brush her teeth for the first time ever. Possibly she now smells just different enough to trigger the IMPOSTER!! response.
