This is CATZILLA.

Alice is four months old today (she was born on December 19th). I say my kitten is four months old, and people immediately form certain assumptions about her size. I'm sorry to say it, but these assumptions are, almost invariably, incorrect.

The following picture was taken earlier today.



Behold Catzilla! You may placate her with treats and feather toys. I recommend it, lest she decide to eat your hometown. (Also behold Lilly, who is sublimely unbothered by the imminent demise of man's reign.)

Look at those tufts on her ears!

She's my gorgeous lynx girl!

My god it's full of fluff!


...and cuteness.
;-)

seanan_mcguire

And GINORMOUSLY HUGE.

She will destroy us all!

I feel like I've given Lilly the launch codes, I swear.

Matching kittans!

They know their spots on the tree quite well.

Very cute kitties :) Thanks for the cuteness

seanan_mcguire

April 19 2009, 23:38:34 UTC 8 years ago

Very welcome!

Ah spring, then the trees are in bloom.

seanan_mcguire

As are the fluffy kitties.

She's gonna be a big, big girl, it's true.

Looking at her now, and knowing Maine Coons take years to achieve their full size, I am afraid for my species.

How long before you can saddle-train her? She's HUGE!

Beautiful, beautiful girl.

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 00:01:56 UTC 8 years ago

I'm guessing a month or two. Maybe three.

I will teach her to show mercy to the small monkeys.

catnip13

April 19 2009, 23:57:35 UTC 8 years ago

That cat is huge. I feel the need to repeat for the record that Lilly is a good sized cat herself. Just ... wow.

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 00:02:09 UTC 8 years ago

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig kitty.

galeni

April 19 2009, 23:57:47 UTC 8 years ago

Gorgeous cat.

(Checking out the books on the shelf....) You have "Mermaid's Song", too!

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 00:01:18 UTC 8 years ago

HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE A COPY OF MERMAID'S SONG?!?

That is one of my favorite books ever, and I don't know anybody else who's read it. I've seen three copies in my entire life; I own two of them.

It looks like her front paws will soon be the size of Lilly's head. AWESOME.

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 00:07:04 UTC 8 years ago

Not quite, but close enough to be occasionally unnerving.

April 20 2009, 00:08:11 UTC 8 years ago

BIG kitteh!

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 00:11:15 UTC 8 years ago

Verra verra big.

kyrielle

April 20 2009, 00:24:14 UTC 8 years ago

Eeeeeeeee cute. Lots and lots and looooots of cute. ;)

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:41:45 UTC 8 years ago

Vast acres of cute, it's true.

yolandasfetsos

April 20 2009, 00:32:14 UTC 8 years ago

Oh, they're both SO gorgeous. What a lovely pose, too. :)

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:42:11 UTC 8 years ago

They're trying to be nonchalant about the fact that my mother is vacuuming in the background.

kathleenfoucart

April 20 2009, 00:40:52 UTC 8 years ago

Hmmm... Hubby wanted a Savannah at one point, so maybe I can talk him into a Maine Coon. (He wanted a Big Kitty to go with the Big Doggie.)

That's a great double-cat pic btw. :)

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:42:30 UTC 8 years ago

Maine Coons are definitely Big Kitties, and very sweet. I recommend them.

notalwaysweak

April 20 2009, 00:51:24 UTC 8 years ago

They're both adorable. My Toby's nine months old and is already bigger than Ruri, who's three years old, and considering he still has ginormous feet in proportion to the rest of his body, I don't think he's done growing yet.

I really love Alice's ears!

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:43:06 UTC 8 years ago

Maine Coons will always have outsized feet—they're adapted for walking on snow!

*bilnk blink*

You know, my reaction to this picture was:

Pretty cats, yay. They're not doing anything LOLworthy.

Ponies. Plushies.

OOH, BOOKS!

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 00:57:03 UTC 8 years ago

I was actually delighted when I realized that the little stack of books in the picture is a really good cross-section of my taste in horror. The only things missing are YA and a standard chicklit romance.

archangelbeth

April 20 2009, 00:56:06 UTC 8 years ago

Oh, they're beautiful. Also, Alice is going to be huge, ayup.

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:43:21 UTC 8 years ago

I'm thrilled.

elucreh

April 20 2009, 01:12:55 UTC 8 years ago

I feel like she is only refraining from eating my face because a) she is already full or b) it does not have enough sauce on it.

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:44:10 UTC 8 years ago

Also c) the humans can operate those damn pop-top lids on the canned cat food.

Maybe I'll just start calling you Mother Hitton.

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:45:02 UTC 8 years ago

I do not object. I love that story.

Who's a gigantic fluffmonster? *cuddles Alice*

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:45:13 UTC 8 years ago

She's very cuddly.

Does this Catzilla emit radioactive flames, by any chance? ;-)

seanan_mcguire

April 20 2009, 15:45:35 UTC 8 years ago

Not yet, but we're working on it!

miintikwa

April 20 2009, 02:57:10 UTC 8 years ago

ZOMG. I swear recognize the bottom of that purple and green horse! *MASSIVE SQUEE* I cannot for the life of me remember the names of them, but didn't they have awesome clothing and stuff? EEEEEEEEE! I never knew anyone else that had them. You are so made of win. I will be your Chainsaw Princess's lady-in-waiting if you'll have me. :D

Also, yes, Alice is so adorable and FLOOFY and giant that all we can do is pet and welcome our new Cat Overlords. :)

Fashion Star Fillies! I believe the one in the picture is Tonya.
I think I still have some of these in storage, they were a good height for Barbie.

Ooh, Lilly's eyes aren't orange! When did that happen? Maybe it's because she's not looking directly at the camera. She looks so elegant and sleepy :-)

Alice needs more room on her platform. These things happen when you FURSPLODE! ;-) But she looks so cuddly :-) *snuggles*

seanan_mcguire

April 21 2009, 01:10:32 UTC 8 years ago

She really does have blue eyes, when she's not getting DEVIL KITTY GLARE.

They're both super cuddlers.

kyra_neko_rei

April 20 2009, 03:07:15 UTC 8 years ago

HOLY FUCK, she's as big as LILLY!

You are going to need to add a second Siamese to the mix to keep things even.

Holy fuck. Four months old. WOW. It kinda makes one suspect that somebody threw a snow leopard into the Maine Coon bloodline a few decades back.

Nah, any single Siamese is more than equal to 3-4 Maine Coons, a dozen Sphynx, 101 Dalmatians... who do you think created the Maine Coon, anyway? ;)
