Thanks for the replies! I actually lied-I decided instead of stewing to check on Cooper again this evening around 8pm--he was a lot better--active and not so shy. I picked him up and he didn't ball up but he was a bit jumpy when my roommate had him--both of us move to fast hahaha Anyway he seemed calmer this evening and again only held him for a about 5 minutes just to see how his mood was.

Thanks again...I am excited to get to know him better!
