The kittens weigh in

Today is Lucky and Hanna’s (presumed) seven-month birthday. While Hanna still looks and acts like a kitten, Lucky looks like a full-grown cat to the uninitiated, so we weighed them.

Hanna is a petite 7.5 pounds.

Lucky is 11.5 pounds of solid muscle.

This explains why when Hanna wants to wrestle, Lucky has to be in the mood, or he can just walk away, dragging her futilely behind him.

Although they’re both from the same litter, only their identical round yellow eyes really show that at this stage. The pet adoption service had Lucky listed as a Bombay, and as he ages, it’s clear that those genes are indeed dominant. Almost every aspect of his personality matches up with the “standard” Bombay’s: If you’ve never had an 11-pound kitten jump on your shoulder while you’re typing at your computer, it’s an experience you’re OK with missing.
