Anabel and Sally turned six months old yesterday! I threw a huge party with cake and a bouncy house and pony rides. Just kidding. I’m not that crazy…yet.
They were just seven weeks old when I brought them home and now, they are nearly grown up kitties, I can ‘t believe how fast the time has gone.
They were so wobbly when they first came home. Climbing into the litter box was a big challenge. These days they fly from one end of the house to the other in two or three bounds.
The internet says that a six-month-old kitten will be about half the size/weight of the cat as an adult. Yikes! Sally is already huge. We haven’t been back to the vet since they got fixed, but he is probably close to 10 pounds. Oh man, we’re in trouble!
They are still growing into their ears (and their paws). Their cat coats are coming in and they just keep getting fluffier every day. For a while there they had lost their kitten fluff and were starting to look like short haired cats. With very hairy feet. However, Anabel is pretty much all fluff these days. Sally has a beautiful plume for a tail. He is still sort-of sleek on top, but the fur on his back is getting noticeably longer and I think that once his undercoat comes in, he will be as fluffy as the best of them.
I am especially thrilled that they keep getting sweeter as they are growing up. Sally comes running when I come home from the gym and Anabel will spend hours and hours sitting on Mr. Man’s lap when he gets home from work.
Happy half-birthday my sweet fluffy loves.
Happy Birthday!
ADORABLE!!
