Then & Now



Goro is a big boy now, but he was a
teeny-tiny kitten when he came here in 2009.

Baby Goro

Grown-up Goro

Child Goro with play buddy

Wild Goro with prey buddy

Overlooking from the tree

Overflowing from the tree

Prince Goro napping with fishie

King Goro napping with fish...

Of course, they are different fishes.
Goro hasn't grown THAT big :-)


Goro's first winter

Then came spring

Big difference?
Goro got a brother in 2010!

Baby Niko

Niko has grown into a fluffy cat :-)

Goro & Niko may be grown-ups now,
but they are always my babies.

And love for them will never stop growing!

    I love these pictures. It is hard to remember (without pictures) just how tiny they were as kittens!!! You have so many nice towers, beds etc. for the cats. I know you love them both very much and thank you for sharing them with me!!!

    I do not like kittens, I like old grown up cats but...
    Baby Goro has to be the cutiest sweetest kitty I have ever seen ! I would have scooped him up and ran away with him. (hahahahaha with my walker)
    Then here comes sweetheart, floof Nico.
    ackkkkkk the cuteness overload.
    I love your darling photos today.

    cheers, parsnip

    And we see they BOTH grew into their ears! Mommy loves to see gray kittens...Rupert appeared when he was an adult so she likes to imagine what he looked like as a tot.

    Dearest Tamago-san; Oh My, How LOVELY to see when your boys were such sweet cute babies♡♡♡ My favorite pictures are the first adorable Goro-chan and the one "Big difference"(♡˘◡˘♡) And I wondered where RELAXED looking two brothers were casting their eyes :-) If you were taking photos, maybe to beloved papa♫♫♫ Such heartwarming closing word, Tamago-san;

    又々、belated なコメントになりました(^^;)　今日は信じがたい暑さの中、30分程の距離の所のシステム農場に向日葵を見に行ってきました。　ちょっと遊びすぎ、ハハ！　
    毎年暑さが増す気がします、、、　お二人もboysも気を付けられて下さいネ♬♬♬

    Hi Tamago,
    istn't it cute that Goro still lay in the same poses as a baby? Love the pictures. I didn't realize that Goro was so big when Niko arrived. I alway thought, they are twins. So nice that Goro accepted little Nico. They are supercute.
    Best greetings, Johanna

    Dearest Tamago,
    Wow, that were very fun pictures! Oh yes, how they change and at times not at all... They too love to remain 'baby' with lots of special attention. I call them babies, still and guess they understand.
    Haha, that fishie and than a tiny fish; it would be awful if their sizing had been proportional!
    Niko had tiger stripes as a baby. I've also noticed that on ours, and sometimes brown fur that later turns into dark, almost black fur. Just like human beings might change as they grow up.
    Enjoy your special and super cute babies!
    Hugs,
    Mariette
