What a wonderful surprise today!!! :)

I got two pictures of my Katz (1986 - 2000) as a baby today! I have always been a bit sad that I had only a few pictures of her as a kitten. I didn't have a camera at that time.

I got her from the family of a friend's ex-bf, whom I haven't seen for at least 15 years, but now I've met him again a couple of weeks ago. Today, I got an email from him and attached were some baby photos of my beloved Katz! Can't tell you how much it means to me to have these photos! :)

Here's my Katz as a kitten:

What do you think how old she was in that picture? I guess about 3 weeks or so?

Awwww! So precious and completely adorable. I think your right about 3 weeks old. I have a friend that volunteers with our local SPCA and she took home to foster 1 day old kittens. She hand fed them...the whole bit. I saw them at 2 1/2 to 3 weeks old and they look about the same as your pic.

Kirsten....how lucky you are to have stumbled across this guy/these photos! She was sooo... adorable. Look at her balance on her back paws! It makes them look so big.

Edwina was grown when we found her at the shelter. I often wonder what she looked like as a kitten!

Yes, these photos are really precious to me. :) My Katz was such a very good friend to me through all these 14 years of her life, and when she went to the Rainbow Bridge in May 2000, she left me devastated. I'm still missing her, it was the hardest thing for me to let her go...

Here's baby Katz with her mother Puma:

Oh what a precious treasure to have met up with the person where Katz came from! It was so nice of him to send you the pics. Believe me, I do know how valuable things like this can be to a person. Pics are an irreplacable memory of our beloved friends, so it's wonderful that you have these of her now! :D

Doesn't almost ANYTHING make you want to get another? That is how it works for me! :D :D :D

I'm glad you got some new kitten pictures. I had something like that happen to me recently. I met Corkscrew's original foster mom and she sent me some of his pictures, I was so excited because he was already full grown when I got him and didn't have any kitten pictures.

How very special for you to receive these adorable pictures! How nice that he sent them to you.

Just look at that little belly - it was crying out for a good rub and a kiss!

You know, seeing these photos of my Katz brought back so many memories of her, especially of her baby year! 1986, it's such a long time ago... but some things still seem so near!

My Katz will always have a place in my heart, she was my wonderful feline friend for so many years! A part of me is still missing her.

This was her as an adult cat:

...and just in case someone is interested, here's her memorial page:
