Tango & Cash are no longer kittens

Aw, my 'babies' are one year old today. They were born in the Santa Clara County Animal Shelter in their mama's cage. They were too young for that staff to care for, so they contacted Town Cats to come and take them. They were fostered by a cute couple, who have since fostered many more cats. They did a great job raising them to be confident little kitties. Tango struts her stuff to all other animals, but not so much with people. Cash is more a people cat and will submit to other animals. They are in so many ways, the same but opposite. Cool cats.

The first several pics were not taken by me. They were taken either by Charles or Ruby Clark and all rights belong to them. They were the foster parents for their first 5 months.

Top row: All the kittens at 2 days old; Mama Nala & her kittens at one month,
Second row: Tango at one month, Cash at one month, Together at one month
Last row: Tango & Cash snoozing, Tango & Cash playing, Cash & his pink puffball

Ruby let Cash take his little pink puffball with him. He still has it and still plays with it. Who knows why he's so attached to it, but he'll play with it, then hide it, then forget it, then cry for it. He doesn't forget so much anymore, but sometimes he does.
The following pics were taken by me.

L to R: Tango & Cash fighting at 10 mos., Tango (r) & Cash (l) on their 1st birthday, Tango (m) & Cash (r) and Tornado (l) in the shot for scale.
Tango is still pretty small. Perhaps she always will be, or perhaps she'll keep growing. Cash will probably grow a little bit more, but mostly thicker over the years. He has a small head, but huge whiskers and a long skinny tail just like Tornado. Tornado's body was like Cash's when he was younger. He's gained some weight in the last few years. They are both pretty heavy, but Tornado is like lifting a sack of potatos. To compare, I can still lift tango by her belly with one hand. She feels like a feather, but visually she's about 85% of Midnight & Misty and 75% of Tornado.
