Yes, I'll say a prayer for Narley tonight. I agree that he can be afraid. It usually takes time to adjust (three or more weeks) for each new move. We took in our girl kitty some years ago and she was extremely hostile for sometime but as we patiently kept showing her that we loved her she got better. She had been lost in the woods, then stayed in someone's garage for some time, then in a rescue shelter, all before we got her. We've had her over five years now. She is most content and we are happy to have her as part of our family.
