We've adopted a polydactyl!


...Actually, this polydactyl has adopted US.

pol·y·dac·tyl: A person or an animal having more than the normal number of digits.

Six toes on each foot. How cool is THAT?! It looks like he has little tiny thumbs. Sadly, we think his mother was hit on the road in front of Berkley's house. He found a little spot to hide out amongst the trees and brush across the street and cried and meowed for a few days before he would really let us near him. Now, though, he is quite happily a member of the household. Well, Berkley's household that is. I can't have pets at my place. Well...that and I'm allergic. I know, I know... then why have a cat? Because I love animals, that's why! Being allergic doesn't negate my natural desire to have pets, so I'll gladly put up with sneezing and watery eyes for this little guy.
He's a doll!
We can't really decide on a name, so every day we call him something new. Right now he is Bailey, Norman (i.e. PSYCHO!), Franklin, Bear, and sometimes Bob. Mostly, though, we call him Li'l Guy, which seems to suit him just fine...
