64 by 16

I am growing, grooooowing, groooooowwwwing... B came home tonight and measured me. My front legs are 16 cm long and from tail tip to nose, I am 64 cm long. I am not quite sure if that makes me actually a big kitten, but from B's excitement I would gather that it is a good step in the right direction.

When B first saw me at the shelter (and yes, she is the one who picked me out, even though, I am now officially Kip's kitten) I was about a large handful. She likes to tell the story of how I tried to get her attention by meowing loudly and trying to touch her with my legs (still short, at that time). She opened the cage and picked me up with one hand, bringing me over to the "kitten acquaintance" area. There I tried to chew on her fingers and then after some futile attempts fell asleep on her lap. And, that is all I had to do to get her to fall for me. I am such a kitten stud!

It took some convincing (and some serious charming by me) to have Kip feel the same, but now he is totally hooked (see pic!). Even Sadie, who was the biggest pain in my little kitten existence in the beginning is liking my presence. (She hissed at me for two days and would not come down from her loft area unless it was for food.)

But back to my growth. My kitten doctor lady said that I will be a good jumper when I am all grown up. I will also be long and lean... yeah, right, like a long and lean machine with ultimate kitten power (We watched Transformers last weekend!). I cannot wait to show the world what I am made off.
