Well! I spoke too soon about kitten season being over. A vet nurse from the nearby University Vet Hospital rang and now I have a 3-week-old little black boy. He drinks his formula like it's the last meal he's EVER going to get and as a result, wets like a racehorse!
He's a real gutz! I'll post some pics here tomorrow when I get the webcam out. I've called him Liquorice as a nickname in keeping with the food theme.
