Cats truly grow up too quickly. One day you have a tiny little ball of fluff that barely fills the palm of your hand and then within a matter of months you are looking at a fully grown feline. And sure, they are still just as beautiful as the day they were born, heck some of them even more so than the day they came into our lives. But it is a shame to have it all happen so quickly. After all, us hoomans do rather like to savor the moment. So lucky for us that there is a kind community of cat lovers on the internet who love nothing more than sharing the memories of their cat children growing up from kittens to cats.

Giving us a plethora of cute cat content to scroll through filling the void we often feel when thinking about how quickly our kittens glow up and how we had so little time to properly appreciate it. So today we offer you the opportunity to take a moment to truly take in this special time in a cat's life and purrhaps even reminisce about your own cat child's glow up.

  • It is not only their visual appearance which glows up with time but as you can see here it is also their self-appreciation. Which is pretty awesome when you think about it. To have your opinion of yourself improve with each passing day that you live, simply because you are living. We could most certainty do with some of that kinda positive personal development.  And just look at how proud this purrmachine on the right looks. He looks like he got valedictorian and is momma’s favorite boy.

  • Just as we mentioned earlier, here is another example of a cat who, along with a physical glow up, has also had a self worth glow up to go with it. Like she knows she is gorgeous, so much so in fact that it looks like she feels the value of each photo being snapped of her and if it exceeds the value of what she gets paid in treats then she is out of there. You gotta look out for number one, eh?
