Trying to capture the difference in size between Franklin and Daisy has been difficult at best. This shot taken a few days ago comes close, but still, Daisy only looks to be about 1/2 Franklin's size, when in reality, she's about 1/3 his size. His growth rate (finally!) seems to be slowing a bit; for the last few months he was putting on about two pounds a month; now it's down to about a pound a month.

And he's not at all a chunky cat; quite the contrary - he just seems to get taller and sleeker overall every time I turn around.

I like this photo taken the same day - it reminds me that even at 13 lbs, he's still a kitten and my little boy.







And then there's Daisy, who is a very grown-up little lady in a kitten-size package. To engage her in play is more of a challenge but when she does find something she likes (shoelaces are a favorite), don't take it away or you'll feel her wrath. But mostly she's content to watch at the window and I love to see that little face when I look up from the garage.
