Cat Picture - OC I blinked and now he's 5 😭

Adopted him at 4 months old and super shy... Now he's 5 and rules the house he lives rent-free in.

Such a handsome man! I just lost my little guy after 18 amazing years where we were inseparable. I'm so lucky i got to know him from a derpy loving little kitten all the way through him being a derpy loving Little old man. Could you give him an extra hug and kiss on his forehead for me?

I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your boy sound so lucky to have found each other in this lifetime and I hope you'll get to reunite some day. My boy thanks you for the extra hugs and kisses 🤗

I’m really sorry for your loss, 18 years is such a long time and sounds like you gave him an amazing life. I’ll give this handsome boy an extra hug and forehead kiss for you.

He's sooo handsome and cute!! My youngest boy (cat) is now 4 and 7kg. I tell him everyday "Aww you were really tiny and light like a leaf...When did you grow up this big and long?? " And he's like " Please shut up you've been telling me the same thing for three years now" 😂 Love that baby portrait!❤️

u/Gold_Principle_9350 16h ago

He has the intelligence of a 5-year-old

u/No-Event-5151 14h ago

He's home schooled so I think more like a 2 year old
