There’s only one thing you can be sure of when you bring home a new kitten: that kitten will grow up to be a cat. Remember how cute and tiny your kitten was when you first brought it home? Those tiny kittens cry and those tiny teeth that can hardly leave their mark grow and mature at a rapid pace. Before long, your sweet little kitten isn’t so small anymore, and you’ve got a fully grown cat on your hands, with teeth capable of breaking flesh and claws capable of damaging things.
As your cat grows, so does the loving relationship you share. Cats become part of the family as you develop wonderful memories and traditions. Often pets grow and change simultaneously with us, creating an unbreakable bond to cherish for a lifetime.
To help remind you how much your cat has grown and changed, here are some adorable before and after photos of your cat growing up.
