Bored Panda spoke with Julia, the “Cat Grows” group administrator, and asked her some questions about this feline-loving community. We were curious about the common features Julia had noticed across all the photos submitted by the members. She mentioned that all the kittens have blue or light gray eyes at first. Then, their color changes at around 4 months old. She also noted some other specific things: “Breed features are also there: for example, cats of the Thai breed are usually significantly light at a young age and gradually darken with age. The color may change completely, so sometimes it's hard to believe that this is the same cat.”
We wondered if the group's theme was strictly limited to cats, given its name. To our surprise, Julia revealed that members also share pictures of other animal companions they live with: “In general, the community is dedicated to all living organisms that change over time. We often have dogs and rodents, foxes, cows, reptiles and even houseplants have been published. The passage of time is as much the main character of our community as cats.”
When asked about memorable stories shared by the cats' parents in the group, the moderator mentioned that it's really hard to pick just a few anecdotes with so many posts submitted by its members. However, Julia added: “Most of all, the stories about the sick street kittens that gradually gain self-confidence, get fatter, and become the owners of the apartment are catchy. I seriously think this is the best content on the internet.”
