Day 299: On June 10, Merry came home with me as a little bitty pocket cat weighing two pounds eleven ounces (I actually didn't weigh him until the following day). He was such a tiny, delicate thing, all turned over for ears, and with golden eyes just starting to show green around the irises. He's now just shy of six pounds, and his eyes have become much more green, the colour typical of adult Russian Blues. Average weight for an 18-week kitten according to Mr. Google should be about 4.1 pounds, but even at 6, he's rangy and lanky. In other words, he's going to be a moose when he grows up! I couldn't resist snapping this photo this morning. I have one of Tippy in almost the identical pose.
