He may be afraid of things you won't even consider scary, so when he sees anything for the first time -- the broom, for example -- make sure you watch his reaction so you don't scare him. Approach everything slowly and gently, making no sudden moves and talking to him soothingly all the while. Having been in a garage (!!!!) and ignored for so long he's both going to be desperate for love and attention and terrified of everyday items because he hasn't been living with them. 'Toos, as I'm sure you know, are sensitive and reactive and much like toddlers. But they're such love bugs, too. Poor little guy. I'm so glad you have him now.
