Cloud Grows Up - lots of photo's!

[Squirrel]

Hi all... My name is Cloud, and I'm 12 weeks old today...

My Mummy said that we could post some pictures of myself as I grow up here, so that we can keep track of the changes as I get bigger...

Here I am at 2 weeks old:

Then nearly 4 weeks:

And heading up for 8 weeks:

I got home, just before I turned 10 weeks old:

And here I am yesterday:

Mummy say's she'll be sure to take lots more pictures of me as I grow, and we can post them here every few weeks!

See you all later!

Cloud!:)

[angieh]

Dear Cloud,

Your photos are entrancing. Please thank your mummy for posting them for us all to see. I look forward to seeing many more of you as you grow. I am sure all Catsey members will say that we never tire of seeing photos of our feline friends!

Angie xx

[calismum]

Oh Cloud, you are just soooo sweet. You are a beautiful colour and love your little smudged nose!!

[Mags]

Lovely ..... looking forward to seeing your pics as Clouds grows up....:D

[Shelley123]

Cloud, you are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your pics with us, i shall look foward to seeing you grow.

[PoshPuss]

Cloud you are a little beauty and your Catsey aunties will never tire of photos of you :D

[dandysmom]

Cloud, you are a beautiful kitten, and are going to be a gorgeous cat! Thank mummy for putting the pics up and remind her to do so regularly! :D Watching you grow up is great fun!

Auntie Eileen

[Tink]

Cloud, you are precious and I love to see pictures of how you've grown. Eat lots so you can grow to be big and strong and don't let Mummy forget to post pictures!! :D

[TalitiaJaxleigh]

Cloud you sure are one preetty kitty! :) look forward to seeing more of you! x

[Kobster]

Cloud, you are so pretty and look so soft and snuggly, but I bet you are wiggly worm when your mom tries to snuggle you just like my kitten!

[Squirrel]

Mummy says I really need to come and thank everyone for their kind words. I like having lots of aunties (and uncles!) to share my pictures with! :D

I asked Mum if I wriggle a lot when she's trying to hug me - but she tells me that's only if she's come to pick me up, rather than I going to her. If she waits on me coming first then I'll sit quietly - and even wash or go to sleep on her. But if I'm up for a game - or want to sleep elsewhere, she'll be told all about it!

Anyway, she said that I could share a few more pictures today, and then maybe not for another 2 weeks as she's away for the weekend. When I may be going to spend some time with my brother Vivaldi and his Mum!

So... Here I am playing with my mouse, about a week ago...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2134-1.jpg

Right nwo I'm happily playing with it again - having dragged it all across the room. It still has to be my favourite toy!!!

This is one of my new tricks... I like to climb up on the balance beam, from either side, I have managed it both ways, and consider whether or not I'm going to jump down the other side...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2141.jpg

Not all that long ago I was able to fit in here - the second time she met me, Mummy saw me using one of these as a bed... Not anymore!!!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2171.jpg


Now I prefer to eat it instead!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2176.jpg

Mummy says I'm getting long now... with her legs as my mattress and her dressing gown as my sheet I'm perfectly happy to lounge out and go to sleep...
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2185.jpg

And again!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2193.jpg

In this last pic I've found a new bed... Mummy says she's had the bear since she was 3 years old... I just think it's a nice quiet corner to lie in!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2206-1.jpg

Byeeee everyone... Thanks again for all the lovely comments - will be back soon!

[dandysmom]

What a great photo series and captions! She is absolutely adorable!!!! Thank Mommy for posting your latest installment.

[angieh]

You are growing up so quickly little Cloud! Please thank your mummy for posting those lovely pictures of you.

[Tink]

Oh Cloud you sure are growing up. I love the picture of you biting on the box..I have a cat that likes to do that with boxes too. Lovely to see you, can't wait for the next installment after Mummy gets back. Lots of hugs!!xx

[Squirrel]

Hello everyone... it's me back again! What a long time it has been since I was last here... But I've 2 weeks worth of pictures for you to look at, so here goes!

This is another of my favourite spots to lie on... Or just jump and see it give way beneath me!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2340.jpg

Mum's knee, and her dressing gown, still are my favourite spots, when I get the chance to lie there that is - as long as she doesn't wriggle or cough too much!!!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2344.jpg

I've not forgotten my spot on the chair either

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2353.jpg

I know people have seen this one already, but I wanted a picture with my brother in it to end the ones of my approaching 14 weeks old:

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/154295_463336398365_513973365_5676816_7145296_n.jp g I didn't like him at first, but we had a great time by the end of my stay there!

Mummy was supposed to pick me up the day I turned 14 weeks, but the time lengthened and lengthened, and it was the following Thursday she eventually did so! I wasn't feeling too well by then...

So here I am on Mum's lap again!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2547.jpg

I've actually climbed up that fireplace, though Mum didn't have it switched on at the time!!!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2555.jpg

Don't worry, I didn't strangle myself... just!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2560.jpg

And for a slightly different position - by this stage, I am 15 weeks old.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2577.jpg

I guess that's it for me. Thank you for coming by again, and I'll see you next week - when I'll be 4 months old...

[Mags]

What a pretty girl you are, Cloud! :D

[angieh]

Cloud certainly has had a few adventures - keep the photos coming, I love seeing her she's so pretty!

[lynz85]

she is just such a cutie :D

[dandysmom]

She is growing up so fast!. Lovely pics of a gorgeous little girl ........

[EmmaG]

Pretty girly you are!!! Xx

[Moli]

Gorgeous girl Cloud..........:D

[calismum]

Beautiful baby - growing up fast.

[Squirrel]

Hello all... Sorry that this page hasn't been updated in so long... Blame the faff it takes to get sorted with photobucket!!! Think we're at 19 weeks today, so pics from this weekend:

As seen with all the bags/boxes and similar, she loves getting into things:

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2977.jpg

She has also, recently, managed the jump onto the second highest windowsill in the house (highest she gets onto in stages as there are tables and chests near by...)

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2991.jpg

She's become rather posessive recently as well...

My hand...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2995.jpg

My Tape Measure!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF2996.jpg

My foot!!!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF3006.jpg

Sometimes I think she just doesn't know what planet Mum is on...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF3020.jpg

But get her a plastic bag to play in, and you can do practically anything (nice!) with her!!!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud%20Growing%20Up/DSCF3028.jpg

[angieh]

She's a real poppet! She and my Pip have loads in common, especially carrier bags! She's growing up fast.

[Kobster]

awe bless! She's so cute! Love the one of her cuddled up to your feet! Sully does that.

[Shelley123]

Thanks for the lovely pics of Cloud, they are realy cute.

[dandysmom]

What a cutie; it's so nice watching her grow up. She's getting bigger.....

[calismum]

SHe is such a wee sweetie! Getting big.

[Squirrel]

Hey all... Yep, she does seem to be growing at an amazingly fast rate, from a human perspective anyway. Sometimes I don't notice it, then I find myself wondering how on earth she got so huge!!!

Anyway, 20 weeks old today, and boy has she had a busy week!

She got it off in the end too!!!

[angieh]

What a lovely series of photos Squirrel! Cloud really has had a very adventurous week. It's lovely to see her being friendly with your friends .... she is a sociable little soul.

[StrictMachine]

Cloud makes me want kittehs even more. Bleeee!

[calismum]

She is into everything - love this thread!

[Tink]

Oh, Cloud, aren't you a busy girl and so full of spunk and beauty!!!! :D

[dandysmom]

Little sweetheart ..............

[pamela81]

beautiful! stunning looking cat squirrel :) Thank you for sharing your lovely photos cloud xx

[Squirrel]

Hi again all... Well, Cloudly is going to be 24 weeks old tomorrow! Bit of a shock to the system that! And we're probably about 4 weeks away from neutering time.

Lots and LOTS of pics today - to make up, in part, for the fortnight which has been missed, and then lost. They've all been taken over the last 3 days... Yes, I got into 'snap happy' mode again!!!

I've been saying I think she's been getting darker recently (though partly I think it just my perception!) so first a few baby pics for comparison...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF1811.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF1823.jpg

Oh, and one extra which needs an additional comment:

"You need to have a bath Mummy, come here and I'll give you a wash!"
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF3703.jpg

[angieh]

My hasn't she grown? I agree she has darkened quite a bit, but I'd still call her grey (or blue?) and white. She's an absolute poppet. Thanks for all those lovely photos of her.

[Mags]

She's gorgeous and so grown up looking too.....:D

[dandysmom]

She's adorable, and getting to look like a young cat now, not so much a kitten. Great series of pics. I agree she's definitely darker, but IMO a very dark blue, not black. I love this thread!

[lynz85]

oh she is getting such a big girl!! love the pic of her attacking the comb!

[PoshPuss]

Such a pretty kitten and now a grown up cat with such a beautiful elegance :) Lovely Cloud.

[calismum]

She is getting darker - but not black, I agree a dark blue or grey.

Anyway, she is gorgeous, and I love the pic of her wrapped round the post catching her tail - brill.

[Leesy]

Have just been viewing this post of Cloud and have been so engrossed in seeing how she has grown from such a cute adorable kitten to such a beautiful looking young cat, she is gorgeous and I love her markings very sweet, can`t wait till you post some more pics of the adorable youngster :D

[TalitiaJaxleigh]

Oh my goodness I cant believe how much you have grown since I last looked at this thread :shock: soo grown up!! You are still a beauty! :)

[Squirrel]

Mummy came to me earlier on today to remind me that it has been a long time since either of us had updated on here. So, as I'm now 8 months old (yes, I turned 8 months old today, Mum says she can't quite believe it...) we thought it might be an idea to post a selection of pics from yesterday and today which you haven't seen as yet...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF4827.jpg

I think Mum is obsessed with pics of me sleeping... but I do love my spot on the couch I must admit!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF4848-1.jpg

See what I mean?!?

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF4852.jpg

This one was taken today... Mummy says that's the first time she's seen me in there in a long time...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF4858.jpg

Apparently Mum doesn't see how this can be comfortable...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF4859.jpg

See? Perfectly comfy...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/Cloud/DSCF4860.jpg

...Get that thing out of my face, NOW!

That's all for today. Cya folks!

[angieh]

She is a very pretty little girlie. Thanks for allowing Mum to update us Cloud!

[lynz85]

aww she is getting such a big girl!

[dandysmom]

Such a pretty girl ........

[Shelley123]

Lovely pictures and great captions

[babycakes]

Cloud is a little beauty and so sweet x

[Squirrel]

And we could well be back soon... One of the reasons I've not updated this thread much recently is that I'm taking most pics of Cloud on my phone now. That makes getting them onto Photobucket a bit of a pest. I have got some of them on the computer itself now, and I'll look into getting those up some point soon (though that takes up quite a bit of mobile broadband cost, so I'll likely wait until am at my parents, where I can hook into theirs). The exciting thing is i've finally downloaded an app to my phone which automatically uploads the pics I take to photobucket - which means that when I sign in I'll be able to upload by simply checking through what's in my photobucket account! Great. :)

[dandysmom]

Wow, cool app! Look forward to the pics.

[Velvet]

Cloud - you are gorgeous!

[angieh]

Hey - I saw the link on photobucket. Not that I have that sort of phone, but it does sound a great thing to be able to do. I understand about the cost of download time - I have to pay extra if I go over a certain level in a month. But I still look forward to photos of young Cloudly, she's such a pretty girlie.

[Squirrel]

Hi all... sorry for taking so long to update on here, especially after the post about pics on my phone... still haven't managed to remember to take laptop to parents!!!

Still, here are some recent pics of my wee girlie...

[angieh]

My, hasn't she grown up? She looks a proper cuddlebug!

[dandysmom]

I love the cardboard condo! And the tummy pic ... that wants a tickle. Cloud is a grown up girl now, and a very pretty one.

[Squirrel]

Hi both, and thanks...

Thoguht I'd try out the cardboard house after seeing something similar mentioned on here. She loves it - may not spend a huge amount of time in it at any one time, but will go in and out a good number of times in a day. Am slowly adding to it for the moment, as I get more boxes to build it up. Will eventually decide it's too cumbersome, but for the moment...

And she is pretty cuddly - on her terms! She won't sit on me any more, but is quite happy to use my hand as a pillow. I'm allowed to pick her up and hold her for a short period of time, and she's quite happy to be fussed. Most of her complaints are that Mummy doesn't spend enough time with her!!! :)

[Mags]

She's such a pretty girl.... :)

[Moli]

She is simply gorgeous.!........

[PoshPuss]

Cloud you are such a pretty girlie :D You are very photogenic too, with some lovely poses there! :lol: Would love to tickle your belly. x

[Squirrel]

I would like to thank everyone for the compliments they paid me last month. Mummy tells me that it's very kind of you all to take so much interest in me... Right now, I'm cleaning my front right paw as I dictate this message to Mum...

She tells me we're waiting on one last photo to upload to photo bucket...

Anyway, until that finishes, here are a few which were uploaded recently...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00721-20110716-0839-1.jpg
Yes???


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00749-20110723-1049.jpg
Mum went away and left me again... Not if I sleep on this she won't!!!


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00772-20110726-1904.jpg
I've got brighter eyes than any rabbit!!


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00776-20110727-1923.jpg
Come on then, fuss me, you know you want to!!!


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00780-20110728-1954.jpg
I'd make one intrepid explorer!


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00843-20110813-1126.jpg
Hold it STILL Mummy!!!


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00844-20110813-1127.jpg
That foot's far too dirty, time for me to wash it again, until you can learn to do it for yourself...


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00855-20110813-1210.jpg
Hold that thing still 'til I catch it!


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00857-20110813-1210.jpg
Aaaah! Got you! :-D



3 hours later the last pic is actually uploaded. Joys of mobile broadband... :roll:
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c86/squirrela/IMG00879-20110815-1723.jpg
Put the stick down Mummy. Sometimes I wonder who the grown up here is!!!

[dandysmom]

Super pics! I especially like that one of her on her hind legs!!! :D What gorgeous green eyes.

[babycakes]

fantastic pics and I love the commentary too

[angieh]

She is a very very smart young lady! Such a very white tummy which needs rubbing - does she allow such things? I am very spoilt as both Kizzy and Pip love their tummies rubbed. Pretty girlie. :D

[Squirrel]

Thanks all...

Yes, she's a fan of a tummy rub, especially if she's lying out in the sun. She sometimes still thinks that it's a great game to attack Mum when I give her a rub, but she's doing alright...

It's her birthday on Mon. Will have to work out something nice to do...

[pamela81]

brilliant pics!!! She certainly has grown up!! :)

[Pickalilly]

How beautiful, Cloud! Kittens make my heart absolutely melt!
