:) yes he does appear to have an Elvis smile. He had just eaten his dinner so as usual he had half of it over his nose and chin :)

That's because having his eyes open means running around at full pelt or being naughty

Sounds about right  ;) I love his cute closed eyes.  I often sit looking at Bonnie with her eyes closed  :Luv2:

They do start to slow down gradually.

I dont think I noticed any more changes in their features after about a year, then they just seem to get bigger and fill out more.

I love it when their ears start to look too big for them, then they 'grow into their ears'!  :Luv:

Bruno has released Bebe's inner kitten  ;D. Some kittens never experience proper play which is very sad.  Bebe however now has her little monkey of a brother to make things fun.  I don't think Bruno will be less loving if you continue to treat him as you have - cats respond to our approaches - although as they gain independence and confidence in adolescence they like to test their boundaries.  I've found though that if you continue to offer play sessions and loving gestures or touches they will normally respond each time with their own loving gestures.  (Like when Moray eyeballs us then dances past and grabs our feet without having his claws out)

This is very true as it happens with Bebe. She does allow herself to play once in a while and she will go mad. She will get big round eyes and she will just run around all silly. diving in and out of the Orange play cube which I got from here. She will spy her brother and then pounce on him :) its lovely to see. I wish we had Bebe as a kitten. Think she probably just left to get on with things.

I hope Bruno doesn't lose his loving character.

I know just what you mean - babyhood is one of the few times we see our cats as relatively uninhibited goofballs, without that aloof demeanour of adulthood, but - on those occasions where our adult cats let their guards down and we catch them at play, you see the kitten within, however old they may be  ;)

Most cats reach full maturity around 12 to 18 months but some breeds, like Birmans and Maine Coins are slower to mature, often not until 3 - 4 years old.  Bruno will be growing out of his "toddler" phase and approaching his teenager or adolescent phase.  Hoodlums, in other words.   ;)

Hi sue

My phone is full of photos :) but its surprised me so much how he has changed in the last week or so. His face is changing too. Hes getting a little more fluffy but Hes still a super cat. Very loving and playful. When do they reach fully grown? Is it a year?

 :evillaugh:  It doesnt take long, does it?   :Luv:  It's a fascinating stage in their development, and one where I heartily recommend you take as many photos as you possibly can, because you'll see such changes in this first year of his life. 

We were looking at some photos of Moray and were amazed at the changes in him - he wasn't even fluffy when we brought him home but now is almost a miniature Maine Coon complete with ear tufts and floofy trousers.  :evillaugh:

Where has my baby boy gone??
« Reply #1 on: June 16, 2014, 05:16:43 AM »
Hi all

I once had this little cute tiny boy kitten called Bruno. He was so lovely. I use to be able to pick him up with one hand....I use to watch him fall asleep for most of the day.....I use to watch him be scared to jump off the sofa or the side of the litter tray. Can anyone tell me where this beautiful baby has gone?! Because Hes been replaced by this super growing, lanky, gangly cat with boggly eyes and the want to jump and climb everywhere. This non stop growing cat is fearless and is naughty beyond belief. He runs and jumps on his sister, Bebe, while she's minding her business and nibbles her ears and the back of her neck. This cat has learnt how to climb the indoor clothes horse and to jump from the table to the bookshelf. He also grows every day.....so please, someone, where did my baby boy go and how come they grow so quickly once hitting 12 weeks old??? I seem to have misplaced a sweet baby and gained a lanky confident big eyed naughty animal  :rofl:

(Who I love muchly and still comes for cuddles with his mum  :Luv2: )
