Would you believe that this little cutie:
Grew up to be this beauty:
And would you believe this sweet little charmer:
Grew up to be this stunner:
And this little sweetie-pie:
Grew up to be this camera-shy cutie:
That first cat is Kaylee, Kara’s kitten from last year. We referred to her as “the raccoon” because, well, she looked like a little raccoon. The people who adopted her sent a picture to the shelter manager, who forwarded it on to me.
The second cat – Mr. Gorgeous – is Nate (he was “River” back then) and the camera-shy cutie is Dora (“Inara” back then), both of whom Katherine adopted last year.
I showed Kara the pictures so she could see how pretty her babies grew up. She yawned and asked if it was snack time yet.
I know that, inside, she’s deeply proud of them, though!
How fun to see some of the babies grown up!
What beauties they grew up to be… 🙂
They’re such pretty kitties!
I don’t want to overstate this, but you’re kind of an epic namer. If it turns out you’ve had a litter of Arrested Development themed kitties, I may have to consult you on all future pet names.
What is Kara wearing around her neck?
Jess: It’s a collar for the electric fence. Our cats are allowed into the back yard, but we have an underground fence around the perimeter of the (fenced) back yard and the cats who are prone to try to climb over the fence wear collars. If they get too close to the fence, the collar emits a beep; if they keep going, they get a short zap from the collar.
I laughed for like 20 minutes when I saw that two of them were River and Inara. Hooh-rah Firefly!
I found this site while browsing Cute Overload and I’m glad I did. I desperately want to foster cats (or dogs, I’m not picky) when I’m older, so this is fuel for the fire! Thanks so much for all the adorable pictures! <3
