The vet determined kitten is male and actually only about 5 weeks old. It got a clean bill of health regarding FIV & FeLV today, so now just waiting to get the clear on worms tomorrow. In the meanwhile he also gets eyedrops for his eye, which is looking much better already.

Kitten is now locked away in our office off the bedroom, with a pet gate put up outside so there are no dashes when the door is opened.

Kitten continues to be adorable, even moreso if possible. The vet office folks determined that he was pretty much all bark and no bite, carried him around with them all morning yesterday, and encouraged us to have him interact with people as much as possible. We let him out in the office last night and he promptly hid under the armoire, but later that night I pried him out and we along with Monika and Michael held him, fed him, petted him, and played with him. (The vet assistant sent him home with some cat toys, a toy mouse and a fuzzy ball. Allen put the mouse on the end of a stick and string, which he LOVES, no surprise there.) He also began learning hands are for petting and not for biting or clawing. Overall he was very compliant and at some point decided we must not be all that bad, or at least that we weren't secretly planning to eat him. Just to be sure, we stuffed towels around the bottom of the armoire. :)

This morning he greeted Allen at the door.
