My cats are nearing their first birthday.

Yes, another cat thread.
Pixel is on the left, Baby on the right. Look at how fat Baby is!

I got them last Christmas-I haven't had a pet since I was 9 years old. I remember posting pics of them on DU when I first got them and soliciting name suggestions.
These two girls have made a huge difference in my life so I thought I would celebrate them.

1. What sweeties!

3. I got them, newly weaned, around Christmas.

2. There can never be too many cat threads.

What beautiful babies!!! I understand -- I got my first cats 8 years ago after a dry spell of about 15 years. They have seriously changed my life.

Those kitties look like they might have some Maine Coon in them. Two of my cats do and they are HUGE! A little fat, but mostly just LARGE. They scare dogs.

4. When they were 3 months old the vet said they were huge.

I believe she used the word "Solid".
Maine Coon huh? That would be very cool.

5. Looks like my kitty, although mine has shorter hair.

She's curled up on the chair right next to me.

10. They both proudly display their best features

Pixel's intense eyes and Baby's pretty orange belly.

Cats are something aren't they? They always know how to parade themselves.
