Thread: What a difference 4 months makes?!

She sure has growed & looks very pretty. The one thing I miss with our breed of cat is the baby sweetness it seems to vanish very quickly. Have you had people come round to see the "kitten" & when you proudly point it out they say lovely but we wanted to see the kitten,it is the kitten,can't be its too big,it is the kitten,well how old,coming up to 4 / 5 months,then you get the reaction,bl***dy h*** however big is it going to get, the fascination of the breed really seems to hit then & I don't think they realise how much more they are still going to change over a pretty long period of time.
Please post on this thread again in another four months so we can see the difference yet again,just love her colour...x

Hi Rachel, yes she certainly is a looker, such pretty markings, love the white on her muzzle. I agree Jackie it's great fun to refer to the lads as 'the kittens' when they're now so much bigger than Barney! I quite often catch myself saying 'when they were kittens' - hang on, they still are! What I mean is 'when they were really small'. But with this breed, 'really small' doesn't last long!

LOL, this is so true!!! We often forget that she's still a kitten - particularly as the Monster is so tiny in comparison to her! His latest growth spurt has lengthened his legs so he's at the really gangly, walking on stilts stage. He's so clutsy at the moment though, he fell down the toilet bowl yesterday and just after we'd dried him off he turned in his sleep on the arm of the sofa and fell straight into their water fountain!!! Hopefully his body will catch up real soon

Poor Monty,the boys just seem to have a bit more problem than the girls with their co-ordination though don't you find,bet it gave you a fit of the giggles with a whatever next feeling...

She's pretty!

We have a 15 weeks old "Peanut" and he is very uncoordinated!

LOL, I sure hope so - although he's fab for the amusement factor at the moment!

It sure did - especially when having fallen in the water fountain he then thought it would be fun just to waft his tail in and out of it - it's no wonder he always looks like a scruffy ragamuffin next to his sister!

I have a broken toe that was almost all healed up after over a month. 2 days ago, Teddy Bearz crashed into my foot as I was walking. Really hard... I was left yeowling for many minutes. When I finally got over my agony, I went in search of Teddy Bearz who was freaked out He was hiding under the bed and would not come out. Oh no... I thought he was really hurt bad. After some time, I got him out and he seemed fine. I guess he was just upset since mommie was yeowling. Anyways, my toe is rebroken. What a bruser of a kitty.....

Oh no, what a nightmare! Hope your toe gets better real soon xx

Sorry about the toe Candes but once again left smiling ,can just imagine the hopping & yowling going on....
