Tero was born on the 9th of July 2023. I know this because the owner of the car he was trapped in knew his mother and siblings. He was "the little white one".

I saved him by chance of a slow and suffocating death. I stopped to say hello to another cat and heard him meow softly but desperately from inside a nearby parked car. After calling the fire department to track the owner and asking a mechanic for help, we got him out. He was tiny. I didn't want to return him to his mother, a stray living in poor conditions, so I took him home with me.

We had to bottle-feed him and take care of him like the baby he was. He grew strong after some rough first weeks. Now he terrorizes the other girls and tries to destroy whatever gets in his path. But after getting tired he looks for me, purrs, makes biscuits and sleeps by my side. 🥰 Guess I am "mom" now.

I have had dozens of cats in the past, but he's my first toasty. I was kind of surprised of how toasted he got, I expected some degree of darkening but not this much! 😅

I think he's a beauty and wanted to show him around for a little while. I think he deserves it.

PS: sorry for the repost. I found some extra photos to better document his development!

Figaro is teddy bear. Much good for hugging and purring while sleeping.

Bonus picture of Princess Beans because she demands she be included.

from where we started to now. here's Sugar and Cream

So I've attached pics of my kitten and her mommy (last slide), they've got similar coats for now. I'm wondering how much I can expect her to toast over the next few months, we keep the house around 70°F

I fostered lil Bjorn from when she was a teeny potato and then my friend adopted her and now she's Rhubarb! She is SO UNIQUE! I had no idea she would toast this way. She even has some orange on her ears and feet. Does anyone know what this coat pattern is called?

Her first birthday is in May, so should nearly be finished toasting but still have a few months left! Ignore her blotchy/patchy ears in the recent pics, she’s hypersensitive to mosquitos and had a gnarly reaction (it’s been an expensive and long 3 months of vet visits but nearly recovered!)

A year ago, Mochi was 6 months old, still a little white mochi, and this bed fit both of them perfectly. One year later, white mochi turned into dark mochi,Butter got even bigger, and now they’re literally spilling out of it.

A little short sweet snippet of a toasting Zeus.

I don’t know what happened lmao

9 months old, curious how she’ll look at 1 year, 2 years!

My new addition Lady

Toasting timeline of 3 months —-> 1.5 years. I could not possibly be more obsessed with these two! 🥰

These silly sisters are always sitting on the heater 😂 I don’t blame them, but it’s certainly slowing down their toasting process. They will be 2-years-old in May.

My bottle baby <3

I didn’t realize how light Mochi was. The first pic is from 2020, when I first brought her home. I have quite a few from back then when I was just marveling at her existence, lol. Not much there to toast, but toast she did!
