the cutest black kitten has been mewling at our doorstep since 8 o'clock this morning. Its been hiding under one of our cars, which is reasonable - shade from the sun and all - and it has a little bell on its collar, so it does belong to someone, or did, at least. It has claws. And it...tried to bite my finger, but in a gentle/playful way. We hosed it down this morning because it kept running into the house whenever we opened the door so we wanted it to be at least somewhat bug-free. Also fed it some canned fish and rice (my mother, the Chinese chef). Don't think I can keep it - Da absolutely despises cats. I feel bad though that it can't come inside - poor thing must be sweltering under the summer sun.
