I'm just curious, are my kitties getting bigger every day by inches or staying on the same size and then just in 1 day as a surprise they're getting bigger? what do you think?

Aww they're beautiful. They definately decide in one day they need to sprout much bigger. Cleo did that, she went from tiny to hard to differ from Timmy who is twice her size. It's amazing how they change

Over the river and through the woods...
Gizmo, who was the runt of the kitten litter we took in, is now big enough (and, unfortunately, smart enough) to stretch himself up and open the screen door onto the front porch! First time he did that, I was like "when did he get that big???" I still think of him and his sisters and the "kittens"
I think they just hide it from us until it is in their best interest.

Love and good feeding can definately make cats (and kids) sprout!

Where whiskers abound.
Your cats seem just the right size and are so soft and pretty. They probably are having a growth spurt. My cats are getting bigger around the stomach area, those gluttons.

Yes, I read years ago that human kids (at least) really do grow in spurts, suddenly shooting up an eighth of an inch in a single night, for example. That's what causes "growing pains" -- those sudden changes!
