Good for you, Lex....he's a beauty. I've had 2 orange and white males over the years show up at my place. The first one was a tiny feral all the way...I'd have to leave food and water out for him and walk away for a couple of weeks. Then I'd remain kind of nearby and talk to him. Another 2 weeks he was in the house and became very affectionate. He's now 11. My other one, more fully grown, but still young, would appear every now and then, but he finally came inside, too. Getting him neutered made all the difference. He stays very close by and has discovered the joys of being regularly fed and choices of nice, soft spaces to sleep.
You've gotten lots of good advice here, but I have an awesome toy recommendation for you. It's a plastic ring with a ball inside. He can stick his paws inside and knock the ball around and around. I got one with a flying mouse attached with a spring that both of my boys love. They attack it, roll over with it, and never, never lose the ball. Worth it's weight in gold.
Congratulations on your new family member - you're in for years of fun and games.
