Does anyone else who's adopted adult cats try and find pictures that look like your cat as a kitten? 😆

Have adopted various adult cats from shelters over the years so never get the cuteness of the kitten stage! I love trying to find a picture of a kitten that looks as much like our cat as possible, with all the same markings, and trying to pretend to myself that it's our cat as a kitten 😆

So weird you have posted this - I saw a photo of kittens for adoption (I think not yet, they are very small - it was a rescue charity post) the other day, and thought that would be what our Louie would have looked like! He was one when we adopted him.

Our previous cat came to us direct from her family who had her from a tiny kitten, so we actually did have photos of her as a baby.

Ask chatgpt to make a photo of your cat into a kitten. This is my created kitten. We actually adopted him when he was six.

Yes, but it was just a generic picture of a kitten!

Yes, sometimes. I adopted mine when she was 4, I would love to have seen her as a kitten. I’d also like to know more of her backstory (she has already been adopted once at some stage but was given up again), but I guess will never know.

Yes! Adopted ours when she was 2 and a mum, and she's a long haired mainly white with black and ginger splodges. Desperately would love a photo when she was tiny! I assume she wasn't so fluffy to begin with. Awwww 🐱

I've just done this with Marvin and got the same generic kitten picture!

Chatgpt produced this for our older cat. Although it took a few minutes so feel guilty about the environment..
