Ohhhhhh!!!! Squuuuuuueeeeeezeee!! I'm a horrible, horrible sucker for kittens! Egads, I feel the need for another one coming on...

They do grow TOO fast. The kids. And the kittens. :D Good thing the kittens don't run off to college.

Lola said...

Awww! He looks so much like my Maddux when he was an itty bitty kitty.

I am Harriet said...

I love the paw pads on kitty's!

I am right there with ya in the "they grow up fast department"! I wish they would slow down just a little!!

Petula said...

He was such a cute little baby. He went from little to huge, huh? LOL Are you over there being misty eyed?! :-)

Hi Lin! Helene wanted me to send you the link to Lori's blog...she posted an awesome poem that she wrote. I think you'll have to copy and paste it in order to view it! :)

Pricilla said...

He is soooo cute I just want to pick him up and squeeze him.
But look at those feet!
HUGE!

Grace said...

oh - baby pictures - dontcha' just love them? Yes, yes I do.

Sparkle said...

I am a little jealous - he was a much cuter kitten than I was!

Roschelle said...

He's sooo precious. reminds me of my Seymour....don't ya think?

BeadedTail said...

Awww! Hobbes was the cutest little orange stripey kitten! What a sweetie!

Stacie's Madness said...

soooo cute.

vanilla said...

That out-sized ottoman was once this cute little kitty-cat?

Well he's bigger and better now.

Ann said...

you just reminisce as much as you want. These baby pictures are adorable.

Lin said...

CG--Yeah, who would have thought he'd be 17 pounds???!

Helene--Wasn't he cute??? Sigh. I miss those teeny tiny days.

Catherine--I'm amazed at how dark his orange is now. He was so much lighter back then---in so many ways! ;0

Highway--Me too! And he was a cuddler back then too. I would love to sit with him purring on my chest.

Daisy--Next to you, Daisy! ;)

Nessa---Like our kids--you forget they were so little at one time.

Chuck--I'm not so big on human babies--but give me a baby kitty.....

Rebecca--Me too! I like how Split Rock always takes in foster kitties. I can totally see me doing that someday when the kids are gone. Can you imagine kittens ALL the time??

Lola--Don't they grow up fast??! How is Maddux?

Harriet--I love how pink they are! You know, before they get rough and dirty.

A.Marie--He used to love smoochies back then--now, not as much. Hey, did you get your package from Tracy yet?? OMG--you should see the one I got!! Let me know if yours was as good as mine.

Jo--Seems like everyone is in a hurry to grow up these days. Wish I could make time stand still every so often. Sigh.

Petula--I'm okay today. I called Colin but he didn't have time to chat with me--he was with the guys. Sigh. I guess I have to wait for him to be homesick.

A.Marie--Oh, gees, I LOVED that poem! It helped so much today. :)

Pricilla--Aren't they??! He really did grow into those suckers!

Grace--Oh, if only we could go back in time for a day. Sigh.

Lin said...

Sparkle--Oh, don't be silly! Every kitten is cute!

Roschelle--Is that a new blog of yours???! I LOVE him! Wanna join the Red Cat Society with us????

Beaded Tail--Don't you just love fur babies???! I would love to see Sadie's baby photos--do you have some?

Stacie--And cheaper to raise. ;)

Vanilla--He was a mini-ottoman! His feet were HUGE, so we knew what was coming. He is much bigger and better now. :)

Ann--You forget how tiny those kittens can be. Sigh. I miss that little Hobbes--he was really funny as a little guy. Now he's just a funny BIG guy. :)

Baby Hobbes was adorable! How cute!!! I like him now too though with all his big stripiness!

blueviolet said...

I can't believe he was ever such a little snuggler!

dtokentank said...

Too cute!!!

June Zach (Fledgling Blogger) said...

Such a cute baby Hobbes! An adorable sleepy head! :D

Junk Drawer Kathy said...

Hi, there, baby Hobbes. You so tiny! Love your curly paws!

Lin said...

Karen--Well, that's because there is just so much more to love! ;)

Violet--No kidding! Who knew there was a monster inside waiting to blossom?!

Dtokentank--Nothing like a stripey kitten. :)

June Zach--You can almost hear his purr.....

Kathy--Sigh. Those BIG curly paws! Look how big they are! Yikes.

Sharkbytes said...

I think I had forgotten how appealing he was as a kitten. I'm not particularly a cat person, and yet he already says "personality." I can like that!

SLColman said...

Awwww!! Baby Hobbes!!

Lin said...

Sharky--That is funny you say that because we had Sammy here last week and I just realized that we probably didn't play with him enough. We are used to the cats that just sort of hang with us. I think dogs need more stimulation from humans than that. Ooops.

Stephanie--I love baby photos of our pets. Do you have them too?
