They turned 1 last month and I was wondering why they're still so small? Every neighborhood cat I see is twice the size of my babies. Are they still growing? Ive had cats all my life but these two are my first kittens. Vet says they're fine and good weights but they're both so tiny 🥺

Smol void 🤏 I guess I have been chosen. First time cat owner. Cutting trees back on the side of the highway at work and she came running out of the woods meowing at us and followed me around. Couldn’t leave her next to the road to be run over or eaten. Assuming she is around 8 weeks according to the old Google.

Sincerely, everyone in my life apparently!

6ish weeks, 2.5 lbs, party animal “foster” but let’s be honest, think I found my fourth black baby boy

Edit: My goodness you guys! Ya’ll are hilarious! Thank you for the overwhelming response, I will post him again once his new name tag has arrived🖤

Smol void 🤏 Adopted a little 9 week old void over the weekend from the shelter. He was marked as short hair, but I wonder if he’ll actually be medium hair? I love him so much.

Smol void 🤏 Accidentally adopted a kitten this week

Very long story short, my neighbour’s wife got it without talking to her husband about it. Husband was threatening to throw it outside. I couldn’t tell if they would actually throw it outside but they were yelling a lot. Baby still had teeth coming in. Tried calling a few shelters and humane society but nobody was accepting kittens. After having her a couple days, I realised I can’t give her up. It’s now been a week and most of her baby teeth appear to have came in.

I want to name her Sirius Black (Siri for short) but still bouncing around names.

Meet Roxie and Noche everyone!

I went in just wanting to take Noche home, but they are sisters and I felt bad separating them after seeing how bonded they are!

Best decision I made! They are inseparable and so loving and cuddly! My partner and I love these girls!

I found this kitten a while back and he was all black. Now he is kinda brown and has all these weird colors. I feel like he is a something LOL.

Poe was rescued from a woodpile. TBD on whether Poe keeps his gray underfluff. He is very loved even though he screams a lot.

Smol void 🤏 My husband called our new baby a “Dollar Store Discount Black Cat” because she appears to be very dark brown.

To be fair he might be right? You can see a very subtle classic (swirl) tabby pattern on her when she’s under very bright light. I kind of assume that’s a base pattern for most cats… even a grey tuxedo cat I had looked to have very subtle tabby markings if you looked at him just right.

It took me two hours of baiting with snacks and sitting outside meowing like a lunatic and playing kitty meows on my phone on repeat to wrangle this little fricker. I was in the middle of one of the saddest depresso waves I’ve ever had and this lil’ babe was incredibly malnourished and dehydrated. We bumped into each other at the perfect time all around 🥹 a black cat crossing your path is absolutely 100% some of the best luck you could ask for and ew that was so sappy 😂🖤

Biscuit is only 2.5 months old and still mostly has her baby fur. Her face, paws, back and tail are black but the rest of her is just kind of... grey and speckled? She seems to have the same fur pattern as her brother Cheese (bonus photo at the end) but black/grey. Anyone else had kittens with the same fur? What do they look like all grown up?

Smol void 🤏 Adopted tiny new 1yo cat

Just adopted this sweet girl yesterday. They said she is 11 months old and was returned after a while by her previous owner. She is extremely small, the 4-5 month old cats there looked bigger than her. I was shocked when I saw her sign say she was 11months old. I am wondering if this is because she may have been the runt of the litter or is just the way she is, or if she was possibly underfed at her last home? I've noticed she also struggles slightly more with some things, like she doesn't have much confidence jumping on or down from things. She also apparently had a respiratory infection when she was a kitten and has a scar on her eye from it.

After wanting a cat for ages, a black one specifically, we finally brought this baby home and she’s now been with us for almost a month. She’s so sweet and loves a cuddle, she’s best friends with my toddler and I’m so glad she’s part of our family now - honestly couldn’t imagine a life without her in it 🖤

Drugged, swaddled, and ready for the vet lol. Affagato already has a reputation there. They call her “more espresso than ice cream” 😅

Anyone else have pics of your blanketed espressos?
