AWWW MONDAY WITH DANI KITTEN AND FURMILY

 Here is a picture of Dani kitten and two furblings when they were still in the Lacocoon Cattery, in Lacolle, Quebec.  Go to Lacolle if you are interested in finding out a little more about this historic small town (small town, small battle).


These babies were born on January 28, 2017.  Below, they are having a snack which their mother happily provided.  They were named as follows:  Thor #1(M), Dani #2 (F), Mado #3 (F)

There is quite a size difference amongst them.  Maine Coon males are usually larger than the females.  Dani has fulfilled her Gentle Giant promise by ending up the same size as a full grown male, i.e., 24 lbs.  The females generally top out at 18.

Dani is once again in the the middle.  Coincidentally, I am a middle child, too.  Dani's fur appeared almost black when she was born, but you can still see the bright orange star on her forehead.  Unfortunately, I had no such star even when I dyed my hair red!


In these pictures, Dani is still in the Cattery.


And this is shortly after Dani came home in April 2017.
(The dots under her eye just faded as she grew)


Tiny, isn't she?

Sweet Dani, your baby pictures make me miss my angel Seney so very much. Your mommy looks a lot like she did with the white legs and the white belly and the black and brown. I used to tease that she was our beagle Hound because of her tri-color. Good things she didn't understand English.

Dearest Wendy,
What a lovely series about Dani kitten and her siblings.
Her expression was there, very early on and that 'kisser' stands out so special.
Did she really turn out to be a car–pet; liking to ride in a car?
Most kitties don't like it...
She was a cute rugrat at the cattery!
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
