We’ve dosed him with Benadryl, exited rooms slowly, popped back without giving him direct attention just so he knows we come back. He’ll be okay and sleep for a bit, then wake, realize we’re gone, and meltdown. Any other suggestions?

I have to admit that I thought the two of them would devour one another before now? Like, can’t the leopards eat each others faces while they’re out eating faces? Can we get one win, please?
