The Passage of Time...

Then Now

I surprised my kittens in one of the boxes holding packing supplies. They like to sneak in and sleep in the bubble wrap. Seeing them cuddled up together in the box made my heart break a little. I didn't know why until I started looking through photographs of them when we first got them. I found a picture of them in a box – a much smaller box. It set in that they aren't kittens anymore. They're not even "little cats" anymore. Paulo is quickly becoming a muscular man cat. Babette has already lost many of her baby teeth and new, bigger, adult teeth are coming in. Much of their fluff and fuzz is gone. In Paulo's case, it was replaced by a thick velvety coat. Babette has transformed into a sleek, shiny girl. I guess this is just another reminder of the passage of time.
