Radar is still a kitten, but here he is at 8.5 weeks old




And here he is a couple of weeks ago at 7 months old, now a gangly kitten instead of a fuzzy one:

Everyone's babies look so beautiful... I love them all just by looking at their photos =)

Radar looks like a cat with a lot of purrsonality, he's posing for the shot! And what a LOOOOOONG tail Mosi had even as a young kitten...MuttigreeMom, I love the picture of your kitty "saluting" the tank of fish
Portia was such a fiesty kitten... That pic of her attacking her daddy is priceless! Little Smudge trying to get a closer look at the sunflowers got me laughing...And it would be absolutely GREAT if Halfpint could get Ziggy to make that exact same sneezing face as she did when she was little
But that's a one in a million chance hehe... Annie Rose looks just precious, too cute! Keiko and Pixelle have very beautiful colouring.. and I'm in love with their gorgeous eyes! Kiko, Ducky, Laura and Tino were such adorable kittens, I wonder how Pami could stay lucid with so much cuteness in one house! I love your little descriptions of each kitten's character and their character now that they've all grown up too
Chay has grown from a scruffy little kit into a handsome giant with the most kissable face


And to round this long-winded passage off, I just want to say that I would STEAL Tobie in a flash! He's such a handsome youngster now! And very very cute when he was a kitten. Better keep him safe, Godiva... hehehe. By the way, May I ask if Tobie's momma Sneakers is a Brit shorthair? She kinda looks like one in the first picture but I can't be sure cos her kittens don't look anything like Brit shorthairs

Here's my little man growing up... although he never got very old.

Here he is with his siblings. He's the one on the extreme right.



My scruffy little boy posing for a shot.



He seems to be very proud of his box here, but in reality, he seldom ventured in! The world outside was just too exciting.



I wonder where he took his modelling classes...



Here he is a little older





And this is one of the last shots I got to take of him. It was taken the morning of the day he passed on. We had to put him down due to FIP... But man, did he steal plenty of hearts while he was alive

My turn my turn


This is Hobo Skimbleshanks the day that we found him in a railroad boxcar. The vet's best guess puts him somewhere around 16 weeks old. He is still wearing his "protective layer" of creosote and raildust



..about a week later, Mischief Mistoffolees gets over the "new kitten syndrome" and decides to offer the Hobo a tail to snuggle with while he sleeps


..a little bigger. Turvy Demeter has adopted the Hobo as her #1 adopted son


..bigger still. 2 months on, Mischief is teaching the young Hobo all about "guy cat" stuff..



..getting bigger. Even though he's already as big as she, momma Turvy is still protective of her baby



and Hobo Skimbleshanks now, a big ole' spud of a cat, but still every bit a "momma's boy"

The only other Jellicle that I have baby pics of is the Diva..Etcetera D'Calico..This is my mother's favorite picture of Etcetera, she says that the wolf's ears on the blanket makes it look like Etcetera has "angel's wings"


With Etcetera also, Turvy Demeter stepped up to act as mommy for the orphan kitten...




Trouble from the word "go"


Several months old now, this is Etcetera's first venture checking out Turvy Demeter's "Jellice throne", to which Etcetera is heir apparent


and this is the Diva today...she's gained a few pounds, and has a tendency to guard the microwave whenever anything chicken is cooking

. But she also looks like she has the face of a baby fox!

Wow - I never saw Tobie's baby pictures. And at that age, I would know he's different but would have NO clue as to what color to call him! However, you could tell the "chocolate" in the making by looking at his pawpads and feet around the pads. That looks like the first hint of a chocolate.

Chocolate takes awhile to show up (like the lilac) because its not a dark color. The very early picture almost remind me of the "pewter" color that I've seen in persians. Its a "weird" shade.

Also the younger pictures do tell his some kind of shaded - otherwise the chocolate would be on the entire hair shaft. I guess he really should have been registered as a shaded chocolate ticked tabby, but since he's a HHP it doesn't really matter for showing. Not like you have to "correct" the color and start over.

Just for color identification purposes Diva is an excelllant example of a Brown Patched Tabby/White (or Brown Torbie) - the stripes are very clear in the brown markings as well as the red

I haven't seen Tobie's baby pictures either. He was (and is) absolutely adorable. Such a unique gorgeous cat.

Everyones cat photos are so pretty and it's so much fun to see how they've grown from cute kittens to cute mature cats!

Awe, this thread is so cute! It's wonderful to look back and see how much our furbabies have grown.

Now that's a cool set of pictures of mom and daughter - both of them brown patched tabbies (torbies) but different in the patterns

Actually, Squee isn't Scratch's daughter. Lots of people think she is, but we got her from a lady who found a very pregnant stray at the city dump.

I remember Godiva posting those baby pictures when first born, and asking everyone what color those babies were. No one knew then either!
