Aww - never had a cat who's tail got thicker, but Tom's certainly got thinner while here!!

yep, Miss Molly is 15, and in perfect health!! That after pic was taken over Christmas I think. She never has looked her age.
Please spay your cat

Ta. Yes I think Freddie blossomed a wee bit. More difficult to tell with Billy but Billy's tail is about twice it's initial thickness. It was very thin when he came here. He looked like a kitten even though he was 3 years old.

Meant to say BC, that piccie of Smidgen and Shadow is lovely  :Luv2:  Is it Molly that's 15 Desley as she doesn't look it. Must hunt down recent thread.

Damn can't find any "bad" ones of either Billy Whiz or Freddie to show how we've saved them from a fate worse than ****** but honest we did  ;D  This is best I can do:

Billy our darling boy before



Billy Whiz recently



Freddie hun bun on arrival



Freddie a month or so ago



Sorry I suppose I must have waited till they looked respectable before showing them off although have to say they've always kept them selves looking pretty fab although Freddie wiffed a bit initially :rofl:

Well, since we are having before and after kitten style as well ..... :Luv:

Smidgen on the day he arrived (mind you he had shared the back seat of the car all the way from Cheshire to Chatham so could hardly claim they had not been introduced ...



 and now ...  :Luv:

Tiggy & Benji

Dumped on a skip at approx 2 weeks old, handreared by the vets until 4 -5 weeks when they came home to live with her forever family.  Only a few days after bringing them home Tiggy was rushed to the emergency vet who diagnosed FIP and a congenital hip deformity.  She actually had none of the above and lived to one month short of her 19th birthday.  She left for the Bridge in February last year, we lost her brother Benji in 1999.

That's a fair point CurlyCatz, it can be extended for kitten-to-cat pics too.

What a  great idea for a topic... nice and cheery and just what peeps need at the moment I think!!

Best I could think of for now for us is our wee Yoda.  We kept him on as he didn't grow until he was about 6months old.  He came to us with bad cat flu and toxic poisoning which resulted in sores all over his wee face, feet and body. In this pic he is approx 10 weeks old and has started to heal up nicely although you can still see some pink where the fur was yet to grow back.



This is a pic of him at approx 6mths old now growing.... wooo hhoooo!   lol



He is now a handsome boy (although still very short and stocky... as he never grew properly) with a very jelly like skeletal structure!   As my OH would say... he can be a true flat cat... cos he squishes down so thin!!!

This is a pic of him sharing a bed with one of the other in the clan.

I will only use Molly, cos my other success stories are with other people now. I took Molly on just over 2 years ago cos we didnt think she had long left to live, and I wanted her to have a home environment, she went on to prove us wrong, and she is a happy, healthy little girl now, who just wanted a home, and loves to play (she is currently curled up on the bed, bless her). I will have to post pics later, I dont seem to have her first pics on my home pc at the moment and photobucket isn't working.

Sorry the point of reference used is not exactly elegant :shy:  however it provides a perfect measure and he loves to get cozy in there :Crazy:

Before pic was taken in early October 2007, about 3 weeks after he joined us

After pic was taken last week.

See how he is filling the bidet now? :evillaugh:

Well, you have twisted my arm, Amy!  ;) Mind, I don't need much encouragement to share piccies of Madam Pearl.  :Luv2:

The top shot is the first ever photo I took of her, just a few scant moments after she climbed out of a CP cat carrier and walked into my life. The bottom one is of her at the Supreme Show in November. When I look at the difference, it always makes me so emotional...  :shy:

He's being called Stinky today because he's been stinking the house down all day  :sick: :sick: If he's not careful he's going to be permantly stuck with that name!!! No he's not impressed, he's actually been giving me dirty looks at being called Stinky .... it is his own fault.

Yes his eye colour did change. The before pictures he was 5/6weeks he's now 5 months.

So there have been a few shaky starts to the year and some sad stories in Rehoming but I thought I'd start a cheerier thread about the good we've done in our furbabes' lives. Not just in rescue but all who've taken on a slightly worse-for-wear moglet.

I'll start you off with the Corporal, before and after. I saw these pics next to each other on my PC and couldn't believe it was the same cat!

I know Witty has some great Pearl pics too, hope to see them on here!

Here's CS before (on the day we got him)...



and this was him last Sunday:
