We get questions!

From the comments section yesterday:

Frankie wants to know if Victor's name was Victor when he was Frankie's big brother (weren't they all Frankie's big siblings - he was the runt?)? We want to update our baby album and, yes ma'am, we have one. ~Judy

Yes, Victor was Victor from the very beginning. Shelly used to stop by and keep Bitty company in the last days of her confinement so she knew the little guy from the time he was a bump in his mommy's belly. OK, one of many bumps, but still. Anyway, she named him and she was doomed... everyone knows how that goes. Name 'em and they're yours!

No, Frankie (or Emmett, as he was known then) wasn't quite the runt. He was the smallest of the boys, but tiny little Missy (then Dot) was the smallest. Frankie was, however, the last to be born - #7 of 7. I know you've seen this before, but it's one of my favorite pics, so here's a reprise... the two smallest of Bitty's kittens in just the cutest pic. Frankie giving Missy a kiss goodnight:

Now, we just love the idea of baby albums for our furkids here at Space Paws, so we'll take this opportunity to help you chock yours up, Judy! Hope these are some you don't already have!

07/07/07 Frankie's Birth Day! From the left: A triplet (Ash, Moe or Draco), Frankie, Triplet, Triplet, Victor, Missy and Carena.

7/14/07 Frankie is a week old and his eyes aren't even open when he sits (or rather, won't sit still) for his first portrait.

7/14/07 Frankie in his favorite corner. I worried about him sometimes, but he loved it.

07/14/07 Frankie the contortionist in a kitten pile with his sibs. Clockwise from the top, Carena, Ash, Missy, Victor and Frankie.

07/25/07 Frankie in portrait session #2, with his eyes wide open. He still won't sit still.

07/25/07 The family napping. Top row: Bitty, Carena, Victor, Frankie and Missy. Bottom: Body parts of Ash, Draco and/or Moe (it's hard to tell them apart unless you can see the faces!)

07/29/07 Frankie and mommy.

07/29/07 Frankie prepares to take his first steps into the world outside the box. If only mommy and his sibs would move!

08/31/07 Frankie's last portrait and last day at Space Paws.

'Cause then he went to Judy!! (OK, you caught me, the pic was taken 08/16/07 during the meet'n''greet, but I wanted to end with Frankie going to his new mom!)
