Hi again Kerry,
So Stoli and Luxor are going to be boarded in a cats only facility in the coming week for 7 days. Luxor is very lovey and is not afraid of people. He'll come to anyone if you hold out your hand and he'll let you pet him. I think he'll be fine at the facility.
Stoli is another ball game and he's the reason I have a question: Is there anything I can do to make his experience less stressfull? Stoli is an anxious cat around anyone that is not my husband or myself. He is skiddish and the slightest sound sends him running. Unlike, Luxor - he does not let anyone pet him unless he's completely in control of the situation.
He really is a nice cat and I love him to death. I know that a trait of Russian Blues is to not like change and they like to attach themselves to one or two people. I'm hoping that I can make his stay a little more relaxed. It will be his first time away from home. Luxor will be there. They will be sharing a suite together. Is there anything I can do before hand? Is there anything we can be prepared for (that probably will happen)? Anything we can be prepared for or take precautions for on his arrival back home?

) Having these familar scents will help comfort them. The fact that they will be at a cat-only boarding facility will help too, that was a great move! Also, you'll want to bring their regular food, a change in diet can upset their stomach, so keep them on their regular food and regular scheduled feedings too if the boarding facility can accommodate that. Lastly as a last resort you can use natural tranquilizers, you can pick these up from a holistic vet, they can give you a natural root in pill form that natural relaxes cats, yet doesn't cause grogginess. I use it instead of the traditional pharmacutical tranquilizers which can have a lot of side effects, I just prefer to go all natural. 
But you can talk to your vet about tranquilzers or anti-anxiety medication as a last resort if you think he's really going to freak out. But as long as his scents go with him, he will feel comfortable as if it is his own place.
As for her behavior is it completely normal and will wear off within two weeks. My kitty Puna acted like this after his surgery (he had to stay a few nights at the vet after it), only it was so bad because he just had his leg operated on and would fight the pain to walk around and following me everywhere, poor thing. I bought him one of those comfy orthpedic pet bed and he was good after that, laid on it and didn't more, except to visit the food dish and litterbox.
