Question
I moved about 8 weeks ago and Murphy has a hard time adjusting.  I pay him as much attention as I always have but I think he misses his daddy.  I don't know what to do.  He has three times as much room to roam and I think he would be happy but he stays where my scent is more prevelant. Can I make my kitty happy? Or is he just missing the ex?

Answer
He is certainly missing him. Cats are very sensitive to changes of all kinds such as just a change in his new home, but they definitely will miss a person. Just keep doing what you are doing and give him time to adjust. That is really all you can do. You could give him some new toys to keep his attention if that makes you feel better about it, but time to adjust is what he needs.
