I have not posted pictures of my two for a while, so I thought I would post pictures of when I first got them compared to now.
Here is Raven when I got her at 9 weeks:

And here is Raven now (will be 22 weeks tomorrow and hates having her picture taken):

Jack then when I got him at 6 weeks:

And here is Jack now (will be 13 weeks tomorrow):

Oh! That's so much fun! Kitties are just so adorable and it's incredible to see how much they change over time.
So here's a little game: There's a picture of Tania and Zoe now, but you have to guess wich one is wich on their "then" picture. I easily recognize them, but people always tell me how much they look alike! Let's see how good people from TCS are!

So, Tania now


ZoÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] now


#1 then


#2 then


Need a little help? Here are both of them together then...


I feel like my game is a little easy...

OMG - I LOVE these pictures! Such CUTE cats - and of course, as such small kittens, they are just irresistable!
Unfortunately, we didn't have a digital camera when they were feral kittens living in a groundhog hole, but here is Shel when he first came inside:



And all growed up:



Baby Lazlo is the tabby (Shel is the tuxedo kitty):



....and all growed up:



We cared for Tux as a feral until he was almost a year old. But here's the day he came home (he got sick and went to the hospital, and we adopted him rather than re-releasing him) :



....and King of all he surveys:



Baby Spooky:



Our lover girl all growed up:



Flowerbelle then:



...and now:



Ming Loy then:



....and now (still on her back!
- she's handicapped) :



....and last but not least, one of our foster kitties that was just toooooooo cute.

MaeMae then:



MaeMae inbetween:



....and though she's not very growed up here, shortly before she went to her new home:



We have grown-up pics of Mae, but they're not digital.

They are both cute and they do look a lot alike.

Wow Christy, they are getting SOOOO big. They really are beautiful little cats.
Raven really does have an exotic look about her, and Jack is way too cute for his own good.

I say one is Tania, two is Zoe. (LOVE the name Zoe, by the way!)

I agree, all of them are just WAY too cute, and look how much Sofia and Roxy have changed!
They look completely different!

Mom2raven you guessed right!!! (sorry Cocoalily!) #1 is ZoÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] and Tania #2. Plus, you also got it right for the last picture. Too me, they really don't look alike, but somehow everybody confuses them (they really have the exact same colour of hair and eyes).

Thanks to both of you for playing my quizzie
. I'll find a little price for you both...

I visited Bijou's catster page. I did not realize your cat was a cornish rex. I have always wanted to feel one lol. I liked the picture of Bijou and Maddie May (for obvious reasons
).
I really wonder where Raven got her exotic face, her mama was a farm cat. My husband got her for me, he said the other babies were just grey tabbies. It does not matter, I love her dearly.
Raven is my aloof kitty, Jack is the snugglebug.

Christy, Bijou's coat feels like satin. My mom also has a cornish rex, and her coat is puffy looking compared to bijou's. It also has a rougher feel to it. Bijou has alot less hair than my mom's rex. Even her tail doesn't have much hair. If you can imagine waves (or pleats) ironed into satin fabric, that it exactly what Bijou feels like. She is also VERY loud. If I didn't know better, I would say she was a siamese!


Bijou loves Maddie, but Maddie does her best to ignore her. Maddie doesn't really like her much. It's a shame, because when I still lived with my parents, Bijou's best friend was a great dane named Motley. Every night she snuggled up and slept with him. Let me go find a photo of them. Ok, here is one from when I first started living with my hubby in his nasty gross apartment. I was babysitting Motley that day. He was around 11 years old, and this was taken shortly before he went to the rainbow bridge. Bijou really missed him and she looked for him for a long time. Every night, when it was time for bed, Motley would pick up his blanket in his mouth and come find anyone in the family to cover him up. If his blanket came off in the night, he would wake my mom up and pester her until she got up and coved him back up!


Bijou is actually laying ON TOP of poor Motley.



I also wonder where Raven got her exotic looks from. She looks to be fairly fine boned too.
