Otto


(taken on my new camera-phone, not bad!)

So - we found homes for all five of the kittens we discovered, four in other people's homes (two each) and one in ours. We kept Otto, the white one with black spots (polka-dotted, according to Ella). He's quite a character, very vocal and pretty friendly. He also eats two breakfasts and two dinners every day (he's a growing boy) and he likes people-food like yogurt, pinto beans and corn on the cob:



He is still small enough for Ella to tote him around, but I expect he will be quite a hefty one when he grows up, considering his appetite.
