We've had Squeaky for almost 2 years, and in all that time, the only time she had an accident was right at the beginning, when I was vacuuming and didn't realize it scared the pee right out of her.
We recently moved to a new apartment and it's different. Wood floors, a bit colder. But we have all of her stuff, her cat tree, her big fuzzy bed set up so she can look out a window, and her carrier/cave. She's seemed a bit stressed out, meowing loudly for no reason that we can tell. When she meows, I get up and follow her. Sometimes she leads us to her food dish (which is no surprise, she's always hungry, even though we do feed her more than enough). Sometimes she just randomly wanders around, meowing and looking at us as we follow, trying to figure out what's wrong. She is a lot more cuddely then she was in recent months, and is waking us up at night again.
And, twice now, she's left us little brown presents on the floor. Not in the same place - once across from her litter box, once under the table in the living room. Just little ones, not the whole shabang it seems.
Her litter box hasn't changed, except in location (since we moved to a new apartment). I've scooped it once a day for 2 years, and now have started scooping it twice a day, to see if that will help.
Her poop seems to be smellier than it was before too, so maybe it's medical? Can stress make poop stink more?
I read through this list here

and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this when moving, and what a possible solution might me.
We're ordering feliway, and I'm trying to figure out where else the litter box may go, to be a in a less busy area (alas, small apartment, not a lot of options).
