My Kitten

[lisajl]

Two years ago, took in 5 kittens, this is one of them...

He went from this

To this:

Yikes! He's a big boy!

He's adorable!!! What's his name?

 

[Hedy]

Aww.

 

[lisajl]

Thanks! His name is Lyon Edward!

We thought he looked like a lion when he was little...little did we know he would grow into that name!!!
I always wanted a big orange tabby...guess who he likes best? My DH!

How much does he weigh? if he is anything like our Sophie, its all fur.

Funny what some good lovin', good food and a safe home will do. You are an angel.

Oh! That is funny!! I just took him to work and got his shots. My little baby is now 13 pounds! His brother JJ is 10 and little sister Harmony is 9.

What have I done to these babies!

Here's his brother JJ

That is one gorgeous kitty!

The kidlets are bugging me for #5...I have to remember that they get big and stick to my guns of no more kitties (for now!).

JJ looks a lot like my Garfield (who died a few days ago).

IF we get another cat, I'm thinking we'll need to get 2! I figure they'll keep each other company.

You've got some great-looking cats!

Awww is he a Maine Coon because he certainly looks like one!!!! I have 3 Coonies that I adore!!!!!!

aww...I'm sorry about your Garfield.
Two is a good number, it's more vet bills, but twice the fun!

Lyon is absolutely gorgeous!!! I'm assuming the kittens were not litermates? They are all so different so that's my guess, am I right or wrong?

Not sure--but a female cat can be impregnated multiple males resulting in siblings in the same litter.

Yikes....he grew! What are you feeding him? j/k

Pretty boy! And your other 2 look like our Lucy (died 2001) and Splash who is 18.

LisalovesPooh is right. They are all littermates.

One of our clients mom cat died. There were originally 7 kittens. I was not working the Sat. he came in with one that was very sick. They euthanized it.
Then on Monday, he said he could not get them to eat. I think the problem was he had no money or patience to take care of them.
He could barely take of himself. At any rate, in come 6 kittens. One was very ill, prob. due to not eating, seemed to have an infection, too.
The doctor euthanized that one and I begged to take the other 5. One doctor said I was crazy and was opening myself up for heartbreak. I told her that was my decision. My boss, said, you want them, take them.

So...one of my other co-workers took the other two. They are girls and look more like Harmony with a little white on them.

I did this same thing with three kittens about 10 years earlier.
It is so rewarding! The hard part is waiting until they are big enough to do the FELV/FIV test. That is the longest 10 minute wait for results...ever!

Your Harmony looks just like my Sydney. Does she love neck & chin scratches, too?
