Bailey turned 1 year old yesterday (in human years)! We adopted Bailey in late June 2012 from the LA Animal Shelter. I walked by every cage and while most kittens were sleeping or mewing incessantly, little Bailey was the only kitten who walked up to the front of the cage and even stood up on his hind legs. I knew immediately that he was the one meant for our little family.
Here is a side-by-side comparison of a photo taken about 1 week after we adopted him and another photo taken today.
According to WiiFit (yes, this is how we weight ourselves), he went from 4 pounds to 12 pounds!! (He actually topped 13 pounds a month ago.) Bailey has grown considerably in the almost 9 months we've had him! I used to think it was adorable when he would splay across my neck while I was sleeping. Now, I can barely breathe when he does it. He also used to be tiny enough to sleep on an extra pillow behind my head, but not anymore :(
Sometimes he has too much energy and he definitely knows how to push our buttons. He still likes to bite a lot, but thankfully he has never hissed at us. No matter how irritated we (mainly my husband) get at him, at the end of the day how could we ever stay mad at something this cute?

Happy birthday, Bailey! I hope he got all kinds of presents and a big catnip-and-tuna birthday cake. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that A) he was ever that tiny, and B) he's such a big guy now! He seems much more petite in photos than 13 pounds. He wears his weight well.
Oh, and I barely recognized you here without your wacky jacket-posing faces. :P
No super awkward facial expressions this time, but I do look like I'm about to drop him!
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be pretty muscular, but we'll see what the vet says in a couple months when he goes in for an annual check up.
