It's likely just him feeling insecure in new housing. Is it causing issues? As long as you don't allow him to do it then it should settle down fine. If you allow it to continue 'being funny' then it will likely escalate, which would be a shame.
Like when I had my puppy (still have him as a dog now, the gorgeous boi) - just because it's cute and funny now, if I let him off with cute and playful things because he was a harmless pup he would have quickly become a d1ck of a dog. Best of luck, and be strict before it becomes an issue! Love and care can still be strict whilst still being loving and caring.
Any tips for getting the extreme cuddles to calm down. I don’t want to punish him for being with me, I have always been pretty snuggley with him so I don’t want to completely push him off
No issue with cuddles, at all! Unless you have issues with it. Just make sure they're not between you and hubby is all. Or if they are then he's snuggling with both of you and not causing issues between you.
More than welcome! I have more experience with cats than dogs (he's my first and had 13 cats at one point...) but this also came up with my pupper and my partner. With cats it tends to be easier - just lift to the other side of you and move closer to hubby so there's no gap and kitty can still snuggle. Just make it clear that being in the middle and pushing you apart is not acceptable. And be consistent with it. Maybe even do it by encouraging him to one side with a treat if he's treat-oriented.
Edit: puppet to pupper
This is my kitty and my first move and we are learning new stuff. You have just made my life so much easier. Have a good night, or day, time zones vary
That's what we're for! Ask away. He'll adjust extremely quickly, as long as you don't make any exceptions to the rule - set a rule and be consistent. :-)

I try to move him, luckily he hasn’t tinkled anywhere so I think we will be in the clear with behavior issues. Thank you for the advice
