First of all, yes, I think we've settled on a name for our new kitten, and we're going with Doxy.
Anyway, John took Doxy to the vet yesterday, and he said she's about 5-6 weeks old. She's a little over a pound, in very good health, and was well fed. She did have fleas until we gave her a bath last night, but she still has one or two on her. She also has worms, but we can't really treat those until she's a little older. She goes back to the vet in a couple of weeks.
Mara is falling more in love with Doxy each minute. Surprisingly, Mara is very gentle with her and likes to try to cuddle with her. She's still not too sure about Doxy's claws, though.
So, Doxy seems to be fitting into our life quite well. It should be a little easier once she can actually interact with Brownie, Pixie, and Puck. The vet said to give her 7-10 days before introducing her to the others. so far, the older three have all hissed and growled at her, so we'll see how that goes. :)
