From Kittens To Cats

 All baby animals are cute. My theory is that they are cute so they can get away with anything!

All of our kittens were really cute. Even the ones that were a bit weird when they were born!

They have grown in to beautiful cats but they are terrors!

When my kids were little i never bothered with ornaments or breakable things, figuring that once the kids were older I would have chance to do that! Not with nine cats!  

Here are some photos of our cats as kittens.

We have 3 ginger cats, it's difficult to tell them apart

One thing that surprised me was how different their characters are. Each one has such an unique way about them!  Two are very stand offish, they aren't lap cats, they watch us from the edge of the room.  The older ones are bullies, they start most of the fights. I had hoped that once they were fixed that would stop, it's better but there are days when it sounds like a full on battle!  Sam, one of the ginger cats, is a love bug, he will come and get on your lap, if he hasn't seen us for a while he really cries! Fluffy, the only female, is a chicken thief! I can't leave any chicken out at all. I made chicken curry a few weeks ago, I thought it would be okay but she managed to get the chicken pieces out, non of the vegetables, just the chicken!  

It's just past their dinner time so it's very quiet now!  Some are snuggled up on the sofa, the others are on somebodies bed!
