Photographer's Incredible Transformation of a Kitten Growing Up From Birth Is Going Viral

If you're as passionate about animals as I am, you may find it difficult not to get attached. Even meeting a dog or cat once is enough to feel emotionally invested in their happiness--whether or not they're your own pet.

That's why I totally understand cat photographer @furryfritz's sadness when one of the kittens he photographed moved far away. The photogenic kitty was ready to go to their forever home, but the 'catographer' couldn't help but share their glow-up photos first.

The tiny tuxedo cat was precious as a newborn, but it's so magical watching the baby grow into a young Maine Coon. Their adopter is beyond lucky!

What a beautiful kitten! I could barely contain myself when I saw this black and white kitty's newborn pictures, but this sweetheart became even more beautiful as they grew. I sure hope their new owners continue this adorable tradition! After all, they grow up so fast.

It seems like pets grow up in the blink of an eye, and even this video proves it. Some of these pictures are massively different from one day to the next! Viewer @fitzemerald pointed out that days "28 to 32 were a full werewolf glow-up," and it's hard to deny it. At first, this little kitten doubled his own body size every few days!

That's not the only thing that changed, either. @Insomniacsloth thought it was "so interesting how the eyes changed color." Wait--they did? I had to re-watch the video once even to notice the iris' color change, After that, I watched again to see if I could tell when they changed.

It was so gradual! This little one's eyes were gray when they first opened, but they became closer and closer to hazel in every photograph. I'm curious what color this cat's eyes will be when fully grown!

Unfortunately, we may never know. @Furryfritz explained that this kitten had to move away, but at least he'll get to continue this series with their siblings!
