Bao Bao and Bei Bei Celebrate First Birthday

One year old!!!

Teresa posted this picture on her Facebook on May 12, 2022.  These two kittens were found by a grounds keeper at the Merced County Fairgounds that day.   Teresa is the CEO of Merced County Fairgrounds, she took in the boys to find them a home.  

The two boys came home with me on May 13, 2022.   I named them Bao Bao and Bei Bei, Precious Treasures.  

Bao Bao weighed 16.1 ounces and Bei Bei weighed 15.9 ounces.  I could easily lift them up!

They were two tiny little guys.

They had kitten blue eyes.  All kittens are born with blue eyes until they turn 8-10 weeks old to get their adult eye color.   Their weight and eye color indicated that Bao Bao and Bei Bei were about 4 weeks on May 13, 2022.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei now have golden eyes.

Each weighs 14 pounds.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei celebrate their birthday in mid April, one year old in 2023.   With a combined weight of 28 pounds, I no longer can lift them up, I am not even able to pose them well for a photo.  If you notice, I am wearing the same sweatshirt as 11 month ago, sitting at the same chair (see the claw marks!).  You can get a comparasion of what a difference 11 months made.

Bao Bao sniffs the cake, does he like it?
