I've been amazed at how well they are handling it, especially Agatha. For most of the time, they are 2 closed doors away from the noise, but Agatha is the cat who generally hides in the bathroom cabinet when anyone strange enters her house. She'll generally slink away under a bed when she hears a vehicle pull into the driveway--sort of like Raoul and the garbage truck. But by Day 2, she was to be found curled up on the bed while the various workmen tromped around, hammered and nailed, and generally caused lots of unexpected noises. Either that plug-in Feliway stuff is really working on soothing them, or they have adjusted much better than I'd hoped on their own. Or both.

The main sign of stress I see is that Agatha wants to eat very quickly, something she does when I'm out of town or when the suitcase has come out from a trip. It's a "help, my environment is changing and I might starve to death" thing, I think.
