Warren is on the left and Pippy on the right.
And this is wee Gaetano.
And here's a big batch of the Fortunatos all grown up! Aren't they absolutely stunning?
Well, the biscuit-maker has become the biscuit! Here he is getting kneaded by Pippy!
The kitties recently moved with mama Mindy to Orcas Island. They're living the good life on top of a mountain, and they're all quite happy there. Here's what she had to say about her brood:
They aren't kittens anymore! Gaetano hovers ~18lbs, Pippy is a bit obese because she eats Warrens food. Warren is quite the acrobat still. But these guys have certainly given me an appreciation for all kitties and cats! Sorry to send so many pics, but they just always amaze me -- love getting those portraits and action shots of them, in-between of course the typical napping!
Thanks for the update, Mindy! Given how lovely they were from the start, it's no surprise they grew to become such beauties. They truly are stunning.
Wonderful. Simply wonderful. Gaetano's fur really darkened as he grew up. Was he out in the sun too long? They're all beautiful cats.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching your goal in the fundraiser!
WARREN! My fave IBK ever. Of course all are wonderful and beautiful, but oh, that Warren face! Always extra glad to see it again!
ReplyDeleteI loved Gaetano- how much fun must it be to have all 3 of them! They are all beautiful cats .I'm so happy they are on Orcas! That's a great life for anyone. They kept their IBKC names?
ReplyDeleteYes, they did! And all the names were given by naming rights auction winners!
DeleteOMG! They really outdid themselves in the growing up to be gorgeous department! They and there surroundings look like something out of World of Interiors! I'd like to know if those things that Warren is sitting on are timed feeders and if so, where they came from!
ReplyDeletewww.perfectpetfeeder.com, little company in Fall City, WA great product, extremely well made and reliable. Spendy, but Gaetano had health issues - cheaper than the vet! and I get more sleep since they don't wake me for food - priceless!
DeleteGAETANO! My favorite itty bitty of all. He's grown up so handsome.
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds have to know. Any more unfortunate stuffing of siblings into couch cushions?
ReplyDeleteall three are serious biscuiteers' and biscuitees' ! I'm not exempt either. no more stuffings, tho wee little, now regal (i.e., not runt) Gaetano can throw his weight around vying for attention.
DeleteSuch beautiful kitties, and they certainly know how to display themselves well on the beautiful carpets! :) It looks like they're having a wonderful life.
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone hit the jackpot on this adoption - the kitties *and* Mindy!! What spectacular darlings the Fortunatos turned out to be. Thank you, Mindy!
