Ashbutt is growing… and growing… and growing…
Those of you who’ve followed the saga of Ashbutt, the farm kitten we adopted last year, have seen several pictures of him as he’s been growing. He’s nine months old now, and shows no sign of slowing down. He’s gone from a tiny kitten to a 13-pound adolescent, and looks set fair to end up… Continue reading Ashbutt is growing… and growing… and growing…
My wife has an assistant
Ashbutt’s helping her fold the laundry. Well, what else would one expect from a seven-month-old Maine Coon kitten? (Yes, there’s half a basket of formerly clean laundry underneath him, still warm from the dryer. Irresistible to a cat of any age, I should think!) Peter
Sorting books, with cat assistance
Regular readers will recall that shortly before we moved to Texas, I cut down my library very substantially. I made a rule for myself at the time that I would not add more bookcases to our new home. Instead, if I bought more books and wanted to keep them, I had to discard others, to… Continue reading Sorting books, with cat assistance
Helping around the house (NOT!)
Here’s our kitten, Ashbutt, helping to fold the laundry. (Believe it or not, all that size is just 6 months and 1 week old!) Not to be outdone, three feet away on the same bed, here’s our other cat, Kili, keeping an eye on the weights. She’s lost almost two pounds in weight since we… Continue reading Helping around the house (NOT!)
He’s a growing boy
Ashbutt, our farm kitten, is still growing like a weed, and shows no sign of slowing down. (Given that he’s only five and a half months old, he’s probably got several more months until he reaches his full size.) This is him at 3 months old, when we brought him home, showing the coloration that… Continue reading He’s a growing boy
Adventures with Ashbutt – and toilets
You may recall that Ashbutt, our ‘new’ farm kitten, has fallen in love with little plastic-coated springs. Here he is with one, shortly after we brought him home. He’s now much larger (bigger than our 5-year-old adult female cat), but still utterly kittenish at 5 months of age. He carries his springs around, and ‘fetches’… Continue reading Adventures with Ashbutt – and toilets
Ashbutt McDieselThroat
Our farm kitten has grown big enough, and smart enough, to figure out how to climb things. Our sofa is looking distinctly the worse for wear . . . Ashbutt is only 4½ months old, but already bigger (height and length) than our adult female cat, and he’s growing like a weed. The vet has… Continue reading Ashbutt McDieselThroat
This one’s for our new kitten
I’ve written several times about Ashbutt, our new kitten. He’s growing like a weed, and getting more rambunctious and kittenish by the day. He’s a lot of fun. I think the author of The Devil’s Panties cartoon strip had Ashbutt in mind when she drew this morning’s comic. If she didn’t, it accurately expresses his… Continue reading This one’s for our new kitten
A growing boy
Our new kitten, Ashbutt, is growing like a weed. His weight and physical size (height, length, etc.) have both increased by about 50% in the month that we’ve had him. Even though he doesn’t have her bulk (she’s a bit portly), at four months of age he’s close to the size of our adult female… Continue reading A growing boy
