Homer

Our new kitty is settling in, slowly but surely.  He tends to be very timid, and he's sometimes scared of the dog and doesn't like Holly.  I can't figure out why he's afraid of the smallest members of the family, but he is.  Holly is very sad about Homer not liking her--all she wants is to pet and love the kitty, and he won't let her! 

He also has a very peculiar way of sitting.  Can you tell by the pictures?
