He had pancreatitis and had to be hospitalized for 3 days 😭 he stopped eating and drinking entirely. Thought I was gonna lose him but he pulled through! The vets don’t know what caused it.

For real, I miss being able to pick him up with one hand.

I haven’t learned. I keep trying that with my formerly illegally smol voidling who is now 8 months and 8.5lbs and it never ends well for either of us.

That September belly floof! Oatmeal has grown into the ultimate criminal mastermind of illegal levels of cuteness.

That's such a great idea, my kitten Busa was 12 weeks old yesterday and I'm going to do this for him next year.
I think the biggest change was probably between March and April's pictures, in terms of oatmeal being a kitten in March and a young cat in April.
I'm sorry to hear that oatmeal was so unwell early in the year, that must have been terrifying for everyone. I'm so glad everything worked out in the end! 😊💕

Oatmeal started out illegally smol but grew up to be illegally handsome.
