Getting his morning scritches.

He looks healthy and strong, thanks to a certain human with a heart.
He could be a small one but he's making strides in his development of instinctive pursuits. I think the others will start playing with him when he gets big enough to handle it. I have seen, in a house where strays flow in, usually finishing out their days there, liven up upon the arrival of a youngster. Even the old matriarch would take to playing and teaching them the ways of kitties and manners of the house. He'll probably do well as he grows into a full blown cat.
Until then, he will be great entertainment for all of you!
