My dad received a photo on Facebook yesterday that Mom thought I should share with you. Neither she nor Dad had seen it before. It was a photo taken when I was just a wee whippersnapper. That’s it on the left in the collage. It was taken four years ago yesterday, September 9, 2011…the day I first met my foster kitty mom (Lisbeth’s biological mom), Tuxie. She began to take good care of me immediately with a nice bath. Before she adopted me I had a wonderful human, foster mom who bottle fed me.
The photo on the right was taken two months later after I came to live with Kitties Blue. Mom discovered it a few days ago in an old e-mail from Dad. She didn’t remember it. She thought it made a good accompaniment to the one with Mom Tuxie. (In both photos you can see my one buff-colored foot.)
The final photo (in the center) was taken recently when I was sitting in a kitchen drawer. Though I am the itty bitty kitty in our house, I sure have grown up a lot in four years. Don’t you think so? I think, however, I have remained just as cute. Mom agrees.
Tomorrow we will be sharing some additional photos of Lisbeth’s boyfriend, Cat Scout Charles, from when his flat cat was visiting us. We regret that his Cat Scout pal and Wolverine patrolmate, Mauricio, was not a very good host. The rest of us found Charles to be quite congenial and enjoyed having him here.
So until tomorrow, I am sending the love of my life, Sampy (Kitty Cat Chronicles), a bajillion kisses. I sure hope he likes my baby photos.
Purrs and paw-pats, Astrid

Dear Astrid,
You were such a beautifully adorable little kitten! And I agree — you have grown into a gorgeous woman-cat! It is always a nice surprise when you are featured on the blog. I love getting to see photos of you, at all ages. Thank you for sharing these. I only wish I had known you then. Although… I don’t think I was born yet… Anyway, I am sending you a kiss for every kitten in the world, and of course, all my love.
Love,
Your Sampy
Oh! That is just too too sweet! Such wonderful coincidences to get your baby pictures!
Kisses
Nellie
We love seeing the cutie little you!
Astrid, you were and are too cute for words! 😀
We hadn’t noticed your little paw being a different colour – it makes you look cuter than ever.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Oh Astrid, you are so cute! You remind me so much of my dear departed Spicy! She also was a very small girl but she was the queen of the house! I honestly believe she was part siamese because of her very loud vocal MEOWNOW! My previous tortie Mica did come from a Siamese and a ginger Tom. I knew her mother KC and KC’s owner told me who the father was. They were both talkative when they really wanted something and they both became my babies even tho Spicy first picked my husband when we were at a rescue looking at the cats!
Gorgeous kitty! Love the one buff paw!! We have a special place in our hearts for torties! Love to you all, LadyBird
Oh Squee look at that footsie 🙂 and as little as you may be it means mighty in heart..Pickles never really got any bigger than a squidget of a cat but has a heart of gold and a huge personality..what a lovely thing to find in your email 🙂 loves Fozziemum xxx
You were such a wee one and oh so cute!! Squeeeee is right!!
SQueeee! Timehop sent us the ones of Princeton as a kitteh today, too. (4 yrs ago, also!)
We sure were some cute kittens!
What an adorable kitten photo, Astrid! Awesome find.
It’s wonderful that you have photos from when you were a little kitten. You started out cute and grew up to be a beautiful lady cat.
Aww…so sweet. Yes, just as cute as ever. All four of our current cats were bottle fed, three of them by me. Maggie was bottle fed by the Maine Coon breeder. It creates a special bond. ♥
