Two things made my recent move totally smooth with the cats:
1. Feliway. I use the Comfort Zone Diffuser rather than the spray. I plugged it in about 12 hours before I moved the cats.
2. I moved my stuff, put everything away, and THEN I moved my cats. That way, their new territory was all set up for them before they got here!

Try keeping all of his stuff in one small, secluded area, and putting him down there when you first move him. Show him his stuff first, THEN let him scope out the rest of the apartment on his own time.
I Love your signature Betty Ann. My siamese loves sitting in the dryer!
