The Ugliest Kitten in the World

Well, she's not. Not the ugliest kitten in the world, that is. She's not my kitten, either; she belongs to the granddaughter of a friend of my mom's, the same woman who gave me Jekyll, who comes over to visit Jekyll (and me) occasionally. Tonight she brought the kitten.


<--I would like to reassure everyone that she is playing with a toy fish. Not a toy anything else. Just FYI.

I think the kitten's gorgeous. If I didn't already have Jekyll, and if it didn't require stealing a kitten from a little girl, I'd have kept her. She's a dark calico with a light gray undercoat, which makes her look like she's been rolling in soot, and her eyes are a remarkable dark amber--almost as brown as a dog's eyes.

So there it is: beauty is as subjective as anything else. Here is a picture of Jekyll too so he won't get jealous.
