I always love seeing the pictures that really show the changes in our kitties, and I came across one today that I just had to post!
This is Monkey when we first got him (12 weeks old)
And this is Monkey today!! (8 months)
Plus a couple of bonus shots I took today.

He was even a long baby but look how meaty and handsome he's gotten!!! What a great boy! He was so white but I just love how his body has darkened out! His icey eyes are great too

What great pictures Jenny!
I love how you got him sitting in exactly the same position... just months later.
He's such a big, dark, handsome boy!
WOW!!! The color change is amazing. Monkey looks like Max when we got him. Max is only 6 mo, but I can see he is getting darker on his back. I sure hope he turns out has beautiful as Monkey.
He's so big and dark now!!! Big, dark, and handsome...that's our Monkey!!
Love those white paws too!!
Wow!! Beautiful Monkey... Although he is already 8 mths old, but can see that he still haven't give up hope on your fishes yet...

He was such a cute kitten! I can't believe how quickly he grew.. such a big handsome boy now. Is that an eel in your tank? I LOVE them, and can never get over how many patterns they have. Giraffe, etc.. So beautiful. Lucky Monkey to have a fish tank!
He's my big boy

Last month when we were at the vet for the UTI he was at 13.2 pounds, so I think he really is going to be a monster! He loves watching the fishies, I don't know what he's going to do with himself when we move and have to sell the tank! The eel we have is a snowflake eel, and we actually got him for free. We went into the pet store and wanted to buy him. When the pet store employee tried to bag him he got out and actually fell into the crack of the cupboards they had. It took them almost 30 minutes to get him out and he was scratched up pretty badly. They said that if we still wanted him we could take him for free. Now here we are a year later and he's outlasted all of our fishes except that little blue guy you see in the second picture! He's pretty giant now, I'll have to post some pictures of him after we feed him again so you guys can really see him
I must have a thing for white paws, both Koa and Monkey have them!
Did you happen to catch Martha's show today? They did a beautiful segment on pitbulls, and what fabulous family pets they are.
Monkey's eyes are just so gorgeous with how they contrast with his dark face. He is one handsome muscular man! And I can't believe 13lbs?!? Solo is 10 months and JUST hit 13lbs! Monkey is gonna be a big big boy! Keep the pics coming, you don't post enough!!!
