Presenting the newest member of the family: Pimenta

[Lucho]

Once again I haven't been around here at all due to real life. Here's an update: while it's mostly about Pantera's birthday, Pimenta has her part too. It seems she'll never really grow out of her kitten-ish aspect, but don't let it fool you. Pimenta is quite the athlete. At the same time she's got all the interpersonal skills that Pantera largely lacks (Pantera varies between intimidation and being aloof); Pimenta actually responds when you call her name by a light chirpy trill, and is quite vocal in general





I need to get organized: the wife has already pointed out that Pimenta still hasn't gotten her Cat of the day Pimenta's second birthday is coming, in the first week of September

Apologies to all, been so occupied with Real Life that I've been MIA around here...

At the beginning of this month of September, Pimenta celebrated her second birthday. Two years old already! She's still a kitten in heart as well as size: despite being physically small she weighs nearly four kg, or around 8.5-9lbs. She still looks like a kitten , but she's all muscle. And attitude





I love before and after photos. Here's Pimenta at barely four months old, and now a couple of months before turning 2 years old. What a difference!


Needless to say, we held a barbeque to celebrate her birthday. Pimenta and Pantera ate well: beef, pork, and chicken

Whoops, almost forgot to add this photo.

Even after two years of age Pimenta continues to grow. Even though it's mostly bulking up, she is now very nearly the same size and weight as Pantera She is a solid ball of muscle and fur. Funny thing: Pantera recently got her summer coat and looks a lot thinner, although her weight hasn't changed (4.6kg or 10lbs. 4oz. according to scale at the vet) but Pimenta didn't. As a result she looks fluffy next to Pantera

Beautiful photos! You're absolutely gorgeous, Pimenta!
