Luna, 5 months 🩷

I rescued Twig (and his mama Mala) last June. They were approximately 8 months and 8 weeks old. He grew so much I had to upgrade his name to something as grand as he is, Twigothy.

With bonus pics of his mother Mala blepping, and showing off her belly trap. Also, my firstborn, Figaro.

When we got Sisu, he was a tiny thing, he was infested with fleas and worms, but we got him to the vet on time and he's grown into a huge, very chill cat.

We’ve been family since he was about 6 weeks old! In the blink of an eye, it’s been 17 beautiful years. Kitten photos taken right when he was adopted. Other pics from mostly this year. I just love him so much.

A little more about him:

He was a kitten my neighbor found in her garage/alley, along with his 3 siblings. I adopted him and his sister, Apricot/Api chan. Neighbor kept the other two. Mama cat was also a Void and looked just like him. Other siblings were more tabby. He was the youngest and smallest of them.

His full name is Daikon but I call him Dai-chan , Daisuke (I’m half Japanese, hence the Japanese names) and he also answers to my sweet boy, boy boy (like baby but a boy). Also the Bebe, said as Moira Rose. Or crazy pants when he gets zoomies.

10 Years have passed and she is still cute.

As requested, a few more pics https://imgur.com/a/4zH2kNN

She still gets a more brownish hue in summer, which also reveals some faint darker stripes on her tail (you can kinda see them a bit on her stupid little triangle tail in the first picture!), but she never actually gets to the same saturated almost orange brown that she spawned with.

She kept the mildly worried facial expression though, hahahaha

Belathor (male) Illia (female/fluffy one) it’s like they are getting more orange with time 🍊

This is Hemingway and Hadley (or, Hemi and Hads). They are a bonded sibling pair from the same litter and are 4 years old. We adopted them at about 4 months old.

Hemingway is the gray and white tuxedo. He weighs nearly 20 pounds and is polydactyl, with 6 toes on each paw! Hemi is a hilarious ninja beast who is simultaneously fearless and yet always startled!

The piebald tabby is Hadley. She's 16 pounds and rules the house. She's all sweetness until she's done with you and then it's Swat City! (She reigns supreme over Hemingway and our two terrier mix rescue pups, Sammy and Cheese Curd.)

Hemingway was the biggest in the litter and Hadley was the runt. Hemi would push the other kitties aside to make sure Hadley could nurse! Because of their bond, the shelter would only allow for adoption as a pair. We went looking for one kitten and ended up with the craziest, most hilarious pair we could have imagined!

Their mother is a Maine Coon who was abandoned by a breeding mill when she got too old. She was found pregnant and taken into a rescue in San Antonio, Texas. She had five kittens in the litter. She and all of the kittens were adopted! 💗

Could practically hear this boy grow. 4.5lbs to 24lbs. Still such a big baby
