amethyst73Mouse has been doing pretty well! His wounds are totally healed now. Over the last few days, just about every time the huz or I have gone into the pantry to pet him, he's come out from his corner under the stepstool to curl and rub around us. He enjoys being petted there so much that one feels somewhat guilty when the time comes that one actually has to go off and do other things.
He's also started sitting under the dining room table in the evenings, sometimes of his own volition. He doesn't feel nearly so comfortable there yet, though - whenever either of us tries to pet him there, he almost always scurries away to a different part of the table. Which is still different from running back into the pantry; pretty much the only way we can get him to go back to the pantry for the night if he's sitting under the table is for both of us to approach him at once. That freaks him enough that he runs. I'm rather sorry that that's what works - oh well.
There have been a few occasions when I've petted him that he's very gently gnawed on my fingers to show that he likes me. This morning, for the first time ever, he licked my fingertips when I was petting him!
