Wonderful transformation.


Here's mine.

Luvbug when we first adopted him.
He was two pounds + underweight and his coat was dry, shaggy, and very dry and brittle. Someone (we think) either threw him out for some reason or he was scared of something (We had a 6.5 earthquake that year). He was friendly and already altered.



Now


He is now a healthy weight and his coat is beautiful.

The other three - Sphinx (RB cat), Kuce and Lil' Jag also were adopted but didn't make such (or need) dramatic transformation.

There's no place like home
Just a few of mine:

Muddy and Koko the day after they were orphaned. Muddy's eyes opened that day and Koko's the next. They were so tiny!


Muddy and Koko as adults:


Stumpy, about a month after we found him. We heard a kitten screaming in our storm cellar and when we went out to investigate, found Stumpy, probably 5 weeks old and his tail had just been amputated by something that fell on him in the cellar.


Stumpy much later. He really loves dogs:


Scarlett (with brother Twinkle Toes) about a month after we found them. They were orphaned at 3 weeks old:


Scarlett, usually found in her daddy's arms:


Lucky Pierre - the day that his feral mom brought him out of the woods to avoid a tornado. I think he's the red in the back. His mom dumped them in a flower bed at the back of our house. We built a shelter out of plywood and concrete blocks immediately, and an hour later, the tornado passed overhead. Mom brought a 4th kitten up the following morning. His mom and all of his siblings had FeLV. Lucky is appropriately named.


Lucky Pierre later:


Spanky and Oscar, days after someone dumped them at my house. Oscar was no more than 5 weeks old and Spanky about 8 weeks old. They were both sick when they arrived, but Oscar took a year to pull together entirely:


Spanky later. Yes, he is my weight challenged boy:


Oscar later:

Here's pictures of Nora the day we got here. She was around 10 weeks old. I haven't looked at these pictures in forever, she doesn't even look like the same cat! I had originally named her Hemi, but hubby didn't like it. I'm glad we renamed her Nora, b/c that fits her so much better.

(this is her favorite kind of toy, even now, and the only thing she will fetch)






These were taken tonight, since I was making a new sig. I love the color her eyes turned into. They haven't been edited at all. I love how bright yellow they are!




Nora being sultry for all the tom cats. LOL


I was holding her fuzzy ball above my head to get her to look at the camera (in fact the same one in the first couple pictures! LOL The one she looks mad she was just about to pounce.




This was taken a couple months ago, so she has gotten even bigger, but she is in the same spot on the sofa as she is in the first pictures, so you can see the size difference.
