Welcome to Pet Talk, Timothy! Mo is doing what cats do when brought into a new and strange place with people they don't know. There's a period of adjustment that Mo needs right now, he needs to check out his new surroundings as well as his new human companions. For now, just be cool. Don't force anything and definitely don't try to pull him out of his hiding place. You certainly don't want him to learn that you are to be feared. Right now Mo needs your patience, reassure him that all is well, that there's a whole lot of love for him in his new surroundings. Before you know it, Mo will be EVERYWHERE! Give him his space right now, he's not rejecting you, he just isn't sure yet. I can't wait for you to start telling us about all of Mo's adorable antics.
