The End of Kittenhood

Today marks Hamlet's rite of passage from kitten to castrato.
(you know your life is dull when *this* is the most interesting thing you have to blog about)


Seems like only yesterday he was a cute little ball of fur that could fit in one hand


But he got bigger (and sharper - claws and teeth, not smarts). Poor Hermes was so resentful at having someone around to compete for my attention. He hated the kitten for a while, but eventually grew to tolerate him. I think once Hamlet calms down a bit more, he and Hermes might even be friends!


Yes, my little kitten grew up very fast and now the big day has finally come. Poor little thing doesn't know what's happening either. Gotta love the element of surprise. Like telling your kids you're going to Disneyworld and ending up at the dentist :)


Good luck, Hamlet! And just think, when this is all over, we've got five days of R&R at the cottage for you to recover.

Poor Hamlet. I hope he doesn't change too much. He's such a cutie.

Have fun at the cottage. I bet it's gorgeous in the fall.

I can now call him a gelding. Just wait for the kitty paunch to form. He will be waddling like Beau :)
