Gizmo Love

I haven't done a Gizmo post since back in September, so I thought I'd give a little update on how he's doing.


First of all, as you may see, he's huge! He really has grown so much that when I look back on older photos I'm just blown away. It's hard to remember he was every so tiny as he was here. Since I don't have human kids yet, Gizmo is my little fur baby so it's the closest thing I have to compare to when parents look back at baby photos of their kids and feel a bittersweet nostalgia.


He is about seven months old, so he's starting to get a little bit sweeter and more cuddly. He still loves to play and definitely still is a kitten, but he is showing beginning signs of being slightly more mature. We got him fixed last week and I always hate taking animals in for procedures like that, but thankfully he did just perfect and never seemed to be fazed by it at all.


Poor Fitz is still having a hard time adjusting to him because Gizmo always wants to play and Fitz is a grumpy old man. But I have noticed Fitz being a little more playful from time to time, so I think Gizmo is sort of bringing out the kitten in Fitz again. All in all, welcoming Gizmo into our home has gone much more smoothly than I thought it would. I'm so glad I tricked David into letting me keep him in the house!

  2. In the first picture he really does look huge—but I wish you'd put him on a white blanket with miniature trees and a miniature house next to him, perhaps with a small figure of a person under his paw: then he would have looked truly huge!

  11. ha ha - I take it it wasn't hard to convince David. :) Gizmo is beautiful! He has his "big boy" face now, no longer a kitten. It feels like it happens overnight, doesn't it?

  15. He is pretty. I love cats! Even when you do have "real babies" your pets will still be your "first babies" and you will still include them in family pictures and activities. We always have. They are part of the family and they add to the family fun. We got a new inside puppy after the kids all left home and we called the new dog their little sister.

  26. Wow, he has grown up into a big kitty! It is totally the same with kids...I just saw a friend with her two month old and couldn't believe how light he felt. I didn't remember my daughter ever weighing 7lbs and she weighed 5lbs when she finally came home from the hospital. Have a wonderful Christmas!

  27. Gizmo is such a cutie and so is Emma. Just stopping by to say Merry Christmas Tammy to you and your family. We're on vacation in Canada but I had to visit one of my favorite blogs. I hope you have a wonderful day today!

  28. He is so handsome, gosh what a cutie pie. Whenever we bring a youngster into the family the older pets of ours get a bit grumpy... but they get over it. I think the young ones help keep the older ones young too. Merry Christmas to you guys!
