Oops, I Did It Again--UPDATE
He just showed up at my door the other night, a little eight week old kitten. Who dumps a tiny kitten?I tried to say no. Oh, I gave him some food and fixed up a sheltered box for him to sleep in, but I have no room in my house for any more cats.
He's as cute and sweet as can be. I walk out the house and call him, and he comes on the run, meowing all the way. We've named him Indiana Jones because he's intrepid and adventuresome. He has a vet appointment in the morning, but he really, really needs a proper home. Anyone?
UPDATE: So he went to the vet this morning. Passed his AIDS and leukemia tests, but there is no test for distemper so he's going to be in quarantine in the big crate in the garage for the next 2 weeks (no more climbing trees, poor guy). He has ear mites, fleas, and worms, which we will be treating while he's in isolation. Otherwise the vet says he's strong and healthy and just 8 weeks old. He loves to be petted and purrs his heart out. He's a real sweetheart.

I am vigorously resisting taking in any more cats--six is enough. However, they haven't started showing up on my doorstep, thank goodness. If that guy appeared on my porch, I'd be a goner, too.

I'm still hopeful I can find him a reliable, good, loving home, but the longer I have him, the more adjectives are going to appear in that sentence!
I know what you mean. Kittens are my kryptonite. So cute, so loveable--they suck you right in! And then, no other home could possibly be good enough for such a special kitty. ;-)
