If you grow up with a cat over the years, it goes without saying that it will feel like a member of your family – nothing less. These before and after pictures of cats growing up remind us that, no matter for how long you live with your furry friend, they're parts of our families that grow and age with us.
People and pets share lots of wonderful moments while growing up or growing old together. Pets grow at such a fast pace that you may not even notice how your little friend, whom you just brought home in a little box, doesn't fit in that box anymore.
We’ve created a post of cute before and after dogs, so now it’s time for cats. If any cat lovers have their own before-and-after photos that show their kitties growing up, we'd love to see them added to this list!

Has it perhaps got an eye injury, or perhaps only one eye? Such a lovely cat
Some kitties have trauma and loose an eye, they are still beautiful and she/he is such a beautiful Maine c**n cat.

I'm a serious cat lover. I just don't have any cats. I used to. I have to look at pictures of cats that people post on boredpanda.
My cat stayed with us 11 years, then passed away :( My mom had a deep depression after his death he was her son She won't accept a new one
Start with a stuffed animal that looks kinda like your late kitty and let her cuddle that. Transitional object to real cat.
