Happy Birthday, Kyra!!! (gratuitous kitty pics ahoy)
Kyra is 1 year old already! Kyra was born in a flower planter outside my office in downtown LA. Since her mama was feral, my boss rescued her and her three siblings when they were about 3 weeks old. She came to the office every day and we all took turns doing bottle feedings.

She's a sweet little monkey, with a touch of Princess...

1. She is a purty puttytat.
Does she still snuggle with the other cat? He looks like he really took to her.

3. Thank you!
They do when the weather allows, yup.

He definitely assumed a daddy-cat role with her. It was very sweet to watch!

10. She's not fully grown yet!
I should have taken a pic of her next to one of the big cats now for size reference.

She only weighs 4-5 lbs.

And she definitely still acts like a kitten.

I'm not ready for her to be an adult! :)

:hug:

16. true!
It's actually a TV, but she would be horrified if it was replaced with a flatscreen.

17. Wow. A year old already.
Time sure flies..She sure is gorgeous. She only weighs 4-5 lbs? Wow. By the time my girls were 1 they were already 10+ lbs.
Happy Birthday Kyra!

20. Yeah...
she has a digestive issue that's stunting her growth a bit, I think. She's under vet care for it and they're confident she's doing ok, she's just probably going to be small. Her mama cat is a tiny little thing too, so I'm not sure she was ever destined for large cat status.

I'm also pretty sure that she's part Maine Coon and they're known for not getting full-sized until at least 1.5 years. So she'll probably get bigger. But at this point, she's almost all hair!

At last check, Kyra was happily sleeping in front of a wide-open window...awaiting the return of the neighborhood birds.

So yes, she's having a wonderful day! ;)
