and 7 months

 

This is Scottie the first day I brought him home from the lumberyard where I worked. He was found by a yard man abandoned in the interior door room.

Here he is just moments ago as he sleeps next to me on the computer desk.

Tweezer weighed 3 1/2 lbs when he came to us on September 17th of 2008.

Now he weighs just over 9 lbs.

This is the day my stepson brought Pepper home after he had found her on the loading dock where he works.

This one was taken just a couple of weeks ago.

All of the other cats were adopted as adults, so there has not been very much change.

 

I´m melting ... :luv

Here is Horst with 7 weeks

and 5 minutes ago.

Same cat, same shoe... :mrgreen:

 

I LOVE the shoe pictures!!! Actually, ANY picture of Horst is a great picture!

Loving this thread!!!!! So many cute photos!! I have to dig into the old cd's to find some "before" pics to share.

 

Here's a bunch of Holly. I'll have to scan some of Maggie & Kobi, their baby pics were pre-digital camera days.

1 Week:

4 Weeks:

6 Weeks (this was from my first visit to meet her & the breeder)

8 Weeks:

15 weeks

12 weeks (1st day home)

1 year--that's the same scratcher as above, really gives some perspective :lol:

 

Loving this thread! I just can't believe that first picture of newborn Holly is the same kitty we're seeing today.

I know!

This is an aside, but how can breeders tell from the little squirmy wiggly things which are going to grow up to be show cats and which should be pets?

I wish I had baby pictures of Misty and Stormy, but alas, they were already strapping teenage cats when I got them. So, I shall have to enjoy other people's before and after pictures!

 

I love the whole progression with Holly. She was such a beautiful kitten and now she's such a beautiful cat!

A lot of times they're held as being "under breeder evaluation" until they're 12 weeks old. They might allow customers to be on a wait list in case they decide the kitten is pet quality. Holly's breeder wasn't holding any of the kittens in this litter, not sure why.

 

Since I just joined this community I thought I would show off my little guy.

Here's a few days after we adopted him (4 months)




And now, at 7 months

 

I'm unfamilar with Horst...possibly because I'm so new.

Dante may look innocent but boy oh boy can he be a little bugger heh, which is typical of kittens heh. But we love him nonetheless.

And thanks for replying to ALL my posts Heidi! Hehehe

 

After cruising the site for awhile I stumbled across the Horst thread and my, he does look like Dante! And his antics are similar too. I should post pictures of Dante dancing, pretending to be a salad, and stalking squirrels. I hope Horst's owner will soon see Dante's pictures too!

 

Yeah that'll be great if you could find that thread. I love showing him off like the rest of us do

 

The day we got him 2 or 2.5 months

I month or so afterwards..It was cute to have both pets together

Now...10 and 11 months

 

Here's the only scanned photo of an early Rotten She was such a funny looking cat...all scrunched up, looked more like Salem off of Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Her fur was coarse. I called her Squidge, told her that when she was older she'd graduate to a Smudge. I think this photo was taken within a couple months of her adopting me. She certainly gave me no choice in the matter. You can see she was well fed, so she didn't desert her old owners for food at my place.

Here she is as an adolescent, she became such a sleek cat!

And now

 

I love this thread, it so cool to see how different they look!!!

Jitzu when I first met her:

And now:

Kido was my kitty a few years ago, I got her for a friend who joined the military and left me to care for her. We moved, and our new roommate left the door open one day. Kido escaped and I couldn't get her back. I still don't know what happened to her, but she was a very scaredy-lovey cat.

Kido the night we brought her home. Note the teddybear ears, she lost the tips to frostbite before the guy who rescued her could catch her.

After this pic she hid under a dresser for 2 months, only coming out for food, water, and to use the litter box. And even then she'd only come out if everyone hadn't moved for an hour. She was very scared.

Kido starting to warm up to me:

She was sleeping on my bed with my housecoat when i came home from work one day.

Kido once she came out of her shell:

She was beautiful...always a little shy though.

Kido and Jitzu got along great, proof that Jitzu has a heart, lol

Torri the day we got her:

She was about 4-5 weeks old. She had been abandoned, someone brought her in to my work, and I brought her home.

A little bigger, forced to be in a pic with mum, lol.

And now:

Doran, the first time I saw him, 4-5 days old:

Little older, being troublesome:

Little bigger, cuddling mum:

He's sitting like this right now, lol. Still his fav spot.

And now, big and handsome!

Muffin, still with his mum (cinnamon), about 4 weeks old:

Little bigger, cute!

And now, just about as big as his brother!

Wow...lots of pics. lol, enjoy!

 

Here is Patch, on his first day at home... he was 3 months and a half:

And here he is a few weeks ago (1 year and 9 months old):

When we adopted Treize, he was 7 months old so he has not changed a lot since then!

 

I don't have any kitten pictures of my Lilith, unfortunately, but she was in rather poor shape when I first got her.

July 2008, the very first time I met her (est. age then was 1 year)

A couple weeks ago... not a full-body shot but you get the idea... FLUFF!

She has some behavioral issues which lead me to believe that she was abused. I am doing my best to correct these behaviors!

I sooo wish I knew what she looked like as a kitten. I bet it was so cute, it'd make my head fall off 8O

 

@chloecatgirl
Really like Horst. Heidi is so right. :heart

I´ve "stolen" the theme of the thread for the German Forum. It is so cute to see "from little kitties to grown ups".

 

Nito was quite sickly looking when I got him.

He's my sleek, handsome boy now!
