Your cats when they were kittens

I've just been looking through old photos of Lucia when I had just got her, when she was abandoned at a month old (her "birthday" as agreed with the vet because I don't really know is April 5th this year, I got her May 3rd) and so tiny. And even though a tiny kitten is pretty stressful, I kind of miss her being so small. Kids grow up so fast

Also I just like looking at photos of really tiny kittens, so post yours!




That's a one litre bottle...

Aww! I love these kind of threads!

Here's Monet at about 10 weeks old




And here's Picasso (Cassie).. she was about 6 months old. She was very sick when I brought her home, reason why her eyes didn't look so bright.

Artemis as a baby (sorry about the focus, he moved a lot)...

Okay - originally came in upside down - this always happens when I import from Photobucket - somebody fix, please (until then, just select them and view the original).

Here is Harper, she is about a week old in this picture.


Although she is still a kitten....

I'll start with Tanner. First pic with my old RB guy, Thai. 

Tanner was 4 months here.                            And 6 years here.

She looks sassy...full of tortitude even though I think she's just ginger not calico? Haha. That photo is amazing.

He's a Scottish Fold. He's very cobby and chunky-looking but he only weighs 9.2lbs. He's one of the sweetest, most amiable cats l've ever met.

@Draco Monet looks so confused and surprised hahaha, I love his (her?) face

I've never seen a coat like that...what do you call it? Like really dark tabby?

He's a black smoke. The striping was very noticeable when he was young, now he just looks black on top, and spotty on his tummy.

lf l part his hair, only the tips are black, he's pure white underneath. lf l shaved him, he'd be a different cat

She IS very sassy - which is just what Artemis needed - a little spit fire to teach him limits and manners and who could drain off his kitten energy. Now, even at 10 months (and her at 8), they still continue to RUMBLE. I very much appreciate that the Foster Mom took some pictures of her. This next one will melt anyone's heart....

Gah - I give up. I tried every image link that ImageShack had to try and avoid the upside down Photobucket picture - none of them put the picture in the forum - so you are going to have to click on the link to see a crazy adorable little Jessie shortly after she arrived at the Foster home.

Here is my favorite early Artemis picture, about 3 months old. (click on the link.)

If there is some way to directly attach/load a picture in this posting box, I'd love to know... going through these services isn't working too great without intervention. (Or if someone administrator can figure out how to bring it in so that you don't need to click a link, it would be appreciated.)

Great thread!!!!
So they are kittens till what age?

Well, Sebastian's still a kitten, but he's grown up a lot! Here he is, 4-5 weeks old vs. now, at about 6 months old, still making the same crazy face.

I took the baby pics the day my dad gave him to me, which was just 3 days after he was orphaned. He was from a feral or stray mother who had been stashing her kittens on my dad's property when his dog found them and attacked.

He was never shy or scared, not one bit, despite suffering a violent dog attack that killed the rest of his littermates, losing his mother too soon and being unsocialized to humans to begin with!




Here he is now!

Monster at 10 days, he was found at a feed mill, my youngest bottle baby. Now he's 8 months and lives up to his name.


Bear at 5 weeks drinking formula fron a cup lid, found her in my neighbor's barn at about 4 weeks. She's 13 years now.


Sammy at 6 weeks cuddling with Sky, I got him at 4 weeks, he was very sick and had a bite wound on his head. He's 6 years now.


Mr. Kitty at 8 weeks, we got him at 6 weeks off the side of the road nearly starved. He's 10 years now and fat.


Muffin at 5 weeks, got her at 4 weeks, she crawled up into the wall of my shower. She's 7 years now.


Toby at 7 weeks, this is his picture from the shelter. He'll be 6 years this month.


Lilly at 10 months, I got her from the shelter at 10 months, not really a kitten, but couldn't leave her out.

Oh my god what a terrible sad story. Im sorry to hear that I'm glad your dad saved him on time.

My 3 kitties - I can't wakt to be back home and share theit photos on this thread - were also orphaned at 3 days old because of a dog attack on their mom.

I am actually fostering them but besides being tooooo attached to each other and not being lucky finding them home, they have been a blessing!

soooo much cuteness!

my girls are kittens, so here goes:


Miami at 6 weeks


Cairo at 6 weeks


Miami at 10 weeks


Cairo 10 weeks

couldn't leave this one out. My best old man, being a naughty naughty kitten. 

Oh my goodness how precious are they!

So much cuteness! These are some photos of Jasper just after I brought him home, he's about 10-12 weeks. It's hard to get good photos of grey cats. He usually comes out as a dark silhouette unless the lighting is really good. I wish I had more kitten photos. The first photo was taken on the third day I had him. He had been in hiding and then all of a sudden he came and sat on me and was a total love bug all over me.




And here is now, at about 10 months
