If I'm not mistaken Bilbo is 2 now so yep another 3 years is right for NFCs. Nearly fell off my chair when Lottie told me he will take a few more to grow to full size.  :Crazy:  Anyone remember the pic of Bilbo on the top of the door?  :evillaugh:

Larger breeds like Norwegian Forest Cats, which Bilbo is one, can take up to 4 years to be fully grown, from what I heard.  Not all the cats are like that, if Oliver continues to grow for another 3+years he is gonna be an elephant :Crazy: :evillaugh: :Crazy:

Jaffa wouldn't stretch out for me but allowed me to lay a dvd beside him when he was curled up so I took my chance.[/color]

Hmmm, ALLOWED - why does that word sound so familiar to us all?  :rofl: :rofl:

Just looking at Misa in a full length sprawl on his desk with tail out as well and wondering how I can get all of him in one picture, he is over a metre from nose to end of tail  :rofl: :rofl:

i'm thinking it may be neccessary to ban all photos of star.  far too many people seem to be taking a liking and i'm just not pleased about it!

cant wait to see merlin then- he sounds gorgeus!  ;D

I got lucky, he suddenly saw something out the window and got rather interested .. he was wagging his tail!! His tail stopped just enough for me to snap the picture.

lay me down, let me go, feeling heavy the ground is cold,
lay me down take it slow I'm ready to stumble, sing & then swing low

I was lucky to find a dvd case as we must have missed that one when we packed them all up and took them to the storage place the other week. Star was the only one asleep at the time to get a photo of with the dvd lol! I will try and get a pic of Bilbo with it tomorrow.

lottie - that was thoroughly cruel!!! i'm trying to get myself over him!

I think that was rather cruel too, Hannah  ;D

Jaffa and Mosi have declined to be photographed next to a dvd case tonight, but they say I can have another try tomorrow if I wish.

oh i was chasing jasper round for ages trying to get him to not run away from the dvd and not turn his head at the crucial moment!  mine is not one of these cooperative model puss cats!!!

I know that feeling very well, he would be doing something cute so I would hurry up and go get the camera, he immediately stops what he is doing!! >:(  Glad you managed finally though, Japsper is as gorgeous as ever!! :Luv: :Luv:

I tried but he is rather scrunched up and doesn't provide a very good comparison, anyway here it is...



Actually this one is better to see his current size and how much he has grown in a few months.  Two pics taken of him lounging in the bidet, one from early Oct. 2007, the second one about a week ago!

Top - Kylie - deceiving as she is asleep and bunched up. She is probably about the same size as Jasper
2nd Clapton
3rd Willow
Last but not least - Alice


Edit - Looks like Kylie woke up for the photo opportunity - she is asleep now though  :Luv2:
