Time flies by quite fast.
We always like to throw around this saying as sometimes it feels like years pass by in a blur and you are still standing exactly where you started. However, this is especially true for cats, as animals have a different perception of time than us because they do not live as long as humans do. When we adopt or rescue an animal, we know that time is fleeting and one day they will be gone.
I suppose that is exactly what makes the years so enjoyable. But today we are here to celebrate the change that comes with growing up. These kittens had beautiful transformations and I can hardly believe that all of these kitties grew up to be so majestic. From long furry tails to chonky fur, no one could have imagined this. As many of these kittens are rescues, their health wasn’t in the best shape when they started but thankfully all of them ended up healthy and living a full life.
And you can see those transformations for yourself by scrolling below.

He was infested with fleas, anemic, and starving. One look at his little face and I knew had to adopt him. Fast forward 5 years, he’s now a confident, happy, healthy boi with a career in modeling.

#26 These two were meant to be together.
It seems most small animals mature pretty quickly. It is probably because an animal needs to be ready to take care of their newer young ones. And if the previous litter is still feeding, the mother cat won’t be able to take care of her next litter. This may sound weird but that is just how it works. However, this also means we never have enough time with our lovely pets. As cats and dogs usually mature within a year and live much fewer years than an average human.
#27 He might have been a micro kitten but not anymore!
