When you see your beloved cat every day, you probably don't notice how much it has grown up. As family members, they grow and age together with us.
Recently, we asked you to share your then and now pictures of cats growing up and it's time to announce the best pics. We also added some best finds from the Internet, but if you want even more pics, be sure to see part 1 of our cat series.
Be sure to vote for your favorite, and if you missed the post where we asked for submissions, feel free to add them to this post!

My Cats all earn their names by the things they do, or by their character. So, Prozac (who helped me through a time of deep depression that needed medication) Mothcatcher (he used to beg me to pick him up so he could catch moths on the ceiling) Speightsbox (an empty box that was his favourite play toy) McSpike (in memory of my best friend's cat Spike, who was also a sweet, kind kitty) 😻

Ma cat named Mira looks nearly exactly the same - really fascinating resemblance. Although, my Mira wouldn't be the "the witch" she is more of a true angel. Completely non-violent, just cuddling and purring around. Even our vet was fascinated. I am sorry that your Mira isn't there any more. I hope I get to spend a lot more time with my Mira though. I would have posted her photo here - but do not have her baby photos. I found her as an adult on a dumpster.
