spots to sit is, in the window, for the outside view!!

Congratulations to you for raising all these stellar cats.

Happy Birthday, Gang! May you have a day full of tuna treats and naps in the sun! They are gorgeous, BTW.

to all of us. Hugs and pets and scritches from all your DU aunts and uncles.

You big boys!!

Now they are officially adults, I think. They are both beautiful.

of how little they were when they arrived.

I have tons of baby Madoc. Gryff was 4 months old when he joined the family.

This is Gryff, the day he joined the family



I don't know if I ever shared this VERY early photo of Madoc, letting me know EXACTLY what he thinks.

is visible on his face.

Madoc was so tiny that his grown up size looks gigantic.

Someone took good care of him and his siblings before they abandoned them on the side of the highway. And, of course, the vet could just estimate his age. I thought it pretty amazing that the date he chose as Gryff's birth date was the same as I estimated for Madoc. I guess this was just meant to be.

And I NEVER expected Madoc would get as big as he is!

Ember was like that when I got her. She came from a small litter of only 3 and was the runt. At 9 weeks, she looked more like 6 weeks. She was so tiny, but energetically running everywhere that I started shuffling around my place instead of walking because I was afraid of stepping on her.

Today she is larger than I thought possible. She weighs 9.5 pounds and is almost 24 inches from shoulder to rump. She is about 12 to 14 inches high at the shoulders.

Those are only approximate measurements because she will not stand still long enough for me to get an accurate reading. She keeps trying to play with the measuring stick.

Gryff and Madoc 🥳🥳🥳!!!

doesn't it.
