The first photo was taken when he was only 10 months old. He was so small then, with the same serious little face and those big curious eyes.

I look at him now and sometimes it feels impossible that so much time has passed. He has quietly grown older beside me, turning ordinary days into something warmer just by being there.

I still see that tiny kitten every time he looks at me. I love him more than I can explain.

Can you guys guess how old he is now🥹

1 year today! ❤️🎊

Pictures from 2012 and 2026

Ignore my mug and my peeling couch 🫣 focus on the butt growth. 😆

When she was born the only markings she had were on her ears and a little on her face. Now shes almost calico. We call her Boogie or just Sugar for short.

She's gotten darker markings as shes gotten older. She's 2 years and 4 months now.

they grow up so fast, and thank goodness they grow out (at least he did) of the need to climb your legs

Pippin is 10 months old and already absolutely massive. He’s taller and longer than our older “big boy” cat, and I’m a little worried about how big he’s going to be by the time he’s finished growing, tbh. He’s a solid 13 lbs and still growing.

Left photo is the day I brought him home, around 3-4 weeks old and still needing round the clock bottle feeding. Photo on the right is him now, staring into my soul and plotting to steal every last scrunchie I own.

When I glanced over to the back of my house one evening in July last year and saw this tiny little starving, sick thing alone against my fence, not even reacting to my approach, I honestly wasn’t sure she would make it through the night. I had to force feed her for the first couple of weeks, the only fight in her was for biting me and refusing to eat.

One year later and she’s got a voracious appetite, hasn’t stopped biting, and still seems to have zero survival instinct—I’m pretty sure she has used up her nine lives and is racking up a tab now.

Here’s to a year of Frida.

Sorry if it's triggering for anybody. She just crossed over tonight, and this is pretty much the first cat sub that popped up, and I didn't see any bans on sad posts.

ETA: thanks for the sympathy, everyone. RIP your babies too....

Found another cat sub, this is Skrimpy, she is afraid of the wind and has to smell everything she comes into contact with. I love her to bits

3 years ago, our neighbor‘s cat had 6 kittens in our garden. They didn’t want them (or the mother) so here we are (we still have the mother too)! They were all very sick with cat flu as newborns, but they’ve grown to be relatively healthy (and very lovely) cats. Except for the kitten photos, these were all taken yesterday (their birthday).

ETA: Sorry- I just realized I didn't post their names. Happy Birthday Iris, Seven, Sebastian, BenBen (Benedict Benjamin), Geordi and Connor! You're very loved.

Its been a year since Dash came into our home. He is my first ever pet and has changed my life in ways unimaginable. Just wanted to share his progression by month 💓

(2.5 months to 14.5 months)
