ostarellaGad, it seems like all I have to write about any more is this little bugger...
Caught him on my brother's lap yesterday :D Outdoors with a good breeze, otherwise I'm sure my bro would've come in all stopped up and sneezing... He (bro) proudly informed me that Fang was crawling up on his shoulder earlier today.
As for me, I have to take Fang over to his dinner bowl now, or he'll spend all his time getting petted by me. And this evening, after examining my face, glasses and sweatshirt very carefully, he curled up on my lap and "allowed" me to rub his ears while he kneaded my wrist and dozed.
Checked the website for Paws and Claws (the adoption agency in the city) and it confirmed my hopes. They check out prospective adopters, make sure the animals are spayed/neutered, make people sign an agreement that cats will be kept indoors unless on a leash (also law in most cities now), and that people won't declaw until they've had them at least 30 days (and have tried to work around it first). And they do not euthanize unless the animal is terminally ill. So will call them tomorrow, explain the situation and what stage of domestication Fang is at, and hopefully they'll either find a suitable home for him or at least a spot in their sanctuary before the cold weather hits. That's my biggest concern, of course.
I hope they can find a place for him soon, though. I'm trying very hard not to get too attached, but the longer he's here, the harder that will get, of course.
