Same Cat

C'est Moi as a kitten


C'est Moi now

The difference that two pounds make.

"Maw" one of the porch feeders and Clyde's niece in 2014 and this year. I'd really like to adopt and bring her inside before winter if I could ever catch her and get her checked out at the vet.

engine4154 - She's absolutely beautiful! Do you have access either to a drop trap or to a trigger-actuated trap? If your local Humane Society doesn't have traps to lend, and you're in the Cincinnati vicinity, I expect that Ohio Alley Cat Resource would lend you a trap to bring this little girl inside. Their contact number's on their website, listed along with the other feral cat rescue groups in Ohio:

List of Feral Cat Organizations : The Humane Society of the United States

Here's hoping for the best - for both of you!.

Hotaru as a kitten


Hotaru now; she loves catmint!

this is when I first got him, scraggly and underweight and scared
little fur, a scrawny tail and possibly a ruff, a really sad looking creature about two years old



6 months later when he was re-homed because he could not get along with my other cats (I don't know why he looks grey in this pic as he is a brown tabby)

18 months after the last pic, about 4 years old
he has grown from a scruffy, scrawny cat with little fur to a majestic looking possibly Maine Coon mix with a magnificent ruff and tail, his color is also more pronounced and he is happy in his new home with a 2 year old Persian who bosses him around (I think all of that fur makes her look as big as he is although she is not)

Oh my, so many beauties and cuties in this thread!
Gustav, a few weeks before I nabbed him and Anais

We adopted greg and arnold, see my avatar pic. They were already a year and a half old when we first meet them. I never saw any kitten photos of them, but I like to think they probably looked a lot like Gustav and Anais.

All 1 1/2 lbs of Reese the morning after I found her. Pretty sure half of that was cockle burrs. Her fur was full of them.
(Which is weird because we're miles away from any farm or field where those are found??)
Last week. Different cat? Maybe.

Chai, September 2017. This is just after she was trapped and taken to the vet—part of her leg missing with a bone sticking out (tail covering it in this pic), severely anemic and malnourished, and totally terrified of humans.



Chai, November 2018. Happy, spoiled, and always purring and asking for pets and tummy rubs.

Chai seemed so full of fighting spirit in the first picture and so at ease and contented in the other two. The transformation is impressive.
You definitely deserved one another.

Somehow, this is indeed the same cat. Photos taken within days of each other.
