Think it be nice to have a thread to show how small your pets were when you got them- and what they look like now

My kitten tilly- got him at 6 weeks- hes now 5 months old and the difference in him is amazing. Weird looking back at how small he was and how big hes gotten since then.:D

Looking forward to seeing others

She is the image of my cat ziggy as a kitten. Ziggy is 15 now and lost her ears to skin cancer. I'll have to find a pic of her as a kitten. Here she is now Attachment not found.

You say old cat is she still alive? I hope so

dee o gee

OMG (:eek:) id nearly swear it was him!! No he died when I was 9ish, got hit by a car when we were on holidays, or so I was always told!! Don't suppose you got your fella when he was about 2 or 3 yrs old, Fluffys age would be about Ziggy's age right now and dad never particularly like him (wonders out loud!!:rolleyes:)

Edited to say: Just noticed Ziggy is a she, there goes all my conspiracy theories of my poor old cat still being alive!!

Haha I had a dog when I was younger that mysteriously 'ran away' was more like given away:rolleyes: aww poor fluffy:( Maybe your dad got him another home. No have zigs since she was about 8 weeks. I think she has relations all over Dublin though cos I'm always seeing cats like her:) Yea she's a girl kitty. The Queen Mother we call her:pac:

Iv never seen another cat like our fluffy:( A few months before he 'died' he went on his own little holiday for about 3 months, he jumped in the kitchen window one morning like he'd never left, looked well fed aswel so we reckoned somebody took a likeing to him that had nicer food than us!:rolleyes: He would've been 14 this summer, time flies still feels like yesterday!!

Cats do wander off they're not very loyal animals at all! We have an 8 year old called Homer and you'd be lucky to see him from one end of the year to the other. Sometimes he goes by the window glances in and then goes off!!! There's a woman up the road feeding him so she obviously does better grub than us:rolleyes:
Oh I'll tell you a story. Last year we had a black cat in the garden all the time. He was very nervous at 1st but gradually let me pet him. He had a collar on with his name on it and address no tel no. The address was for Blancharstown and we live in Cabra so it was a fair few miles. My brother happened to live round the corner and knocked in at the address and told the guy we had his cat. Your man nearly dropped dead. The cat was missing for over a year:eek: We dont know how he got down to our house cos it's all busy motorways. He must have got in a car or something. Anyhow the guy was nearly crying when he was reunited with his cat:D So theres hope for fluffy maybe he hitched a ride somewhere!!!
Sorry for the long post!!!!

dee o gee

Don't suppose this black cat's name was Lucky was it?? He certainly was lucky, can't believe he still had his collar on after a year and he negotiated motorways must have been very streetwise, we used to go through a rack of collars when bunty was an outdoor cat, she used to lose them so quick, one nice blue one lasted only a day! She isin't streetwise at all, she used to sit at the side of the road watching cars, needless to say shes now an indoor cat, lost one to the road and won't lose another!!

ziggy23

haha no he'd some strange name. Yea Homer and Tigger go through collars like theres no tomorrow. Ziggy doesn't really go outside anymore so she never loses hers:) check out this website http://blingpetcollars.com/

I have my kitty's christmas collars picked out already....too much time on my hands methinks:rolleyes:

Useful contact, your tilly is gorgeous, her face is very distinct isnt it? Is she a particular breed?

Looks like a normal domestic shorthair kitten. She is cute though

I love ginger cats.

I do too, I have one myself, pic is in the picture thread.

I think tillys face looks kind of more sculpted or something than usual.
