until this morning.
My husband was driving down one of the busy streets on one of our main routes and spotted this tiny black kitten just trying to cross the street. He noticed it needed help and got out to try to set it straight. He stopped his own car just in time when he saw it AND he prevented the city bus behind him from hitting him too. He put him in his own car, and called me as in "now what do I do?" He said he was a young black male kitten, and well, I have a real weakness for black cats since my "best kitty ever" in my childhood years was a black male. Well, I said it might be a good idea to take him to the vet even if we don't keep him, just to see what kind of shape he's in. He couldn't have been out on the street for that long because he wasn't even that hungry. He's about 8 weeks old and healthy in every way. Curt got the kitty's shots started, and started using a name for him. So THIS time HE talked ME into the new kitty, but oh, he is adorable. . . his name is Jasper.
Photos are forthcoming, as soon as I can get the little guy to sit still.
