It's a boy... cat!

He is so cute---but he does look surly---he'll get over it

Congrats on the kitty and the house!!!!!!

Yeah, he'll come around. I was so worried the first day I brought home my first cat. He hid under the TV and other cabinets a lot but he soon ventured out on his own.

It won't take long for him to associate you with food, and then Marlowe will love you and purr on you and call you Clair. Cats are funny creatures, but oh--so worth it in the end! Congrats!

Back when I was married we moved about 8 times. Every time the cats, who surprisingly knew us and each other fairly well, went to gorund for three days. Keep putting out food and put the litter box near where he's hiding. He'll be peeking over and around to watch you. Let him take his time. This is a huge HUGE change for him.

One cat hid for about an hour. Thenshe came out and ate everyone else's dinner, then inthe morning all their breakfasts, then at night their dinners. She fell asleep by bowl number 7. The rest turned up for the next breakfast, so she kept most of her figure.


And congrats to both of you. (If you get him a companion, I'd suggest a female. Males even fixed, some times, though not always have territory issues and it can get damp. Just saying now before you do it. It's really hard to not get a playmate for kitty. You needn't get as many as my ex did. One would be enough if you do it.)

Hugs.

He is cute. His expression just screams "Oh my God, where am I and who are these people?" He will be fine. We adopted two cats a few years ago and it took a few days, but they acclimated quite well. One of them is curled up next to me right now. He is my writing buddy.

Congrats Clair! He's a cutie and I love the name Marlowe...

He'll get used to everything. I have 3 kitties, and we move every couple years, every time they adjust just fine. Takes time is all. Now my husband, on the other hand, it takes him a little longer to adjust to a new environment.

Happy Late Birthday by the way

Awww. He's adorable. I once had a tabby and white who looked a lot like him.

He'll be okay. Cats are control freaks. They hate change. Just talk gently to him and feed him treats. Maybe some catnip will help. He'll come around.

Aww, hope you get to play w. him very soon and he's in a better mood. Beautiful kitty kat.

Beautiful kitty! Time will calm the stress he's feeling. And, hey, my daughter's birthday is also the 26th. She just turned 2, but we didn't get her a cat just yet

He's adorable and like they said, Marlowe will come around.
