Little Dio was born to a stray cat mama with five other siblings. Though he is not the fastest, he sure knows how to pull at his humans’ heartstrings. This little fluffy boy has transformed from a itty bitty munchkin to a handsome ginger boy today.
Dio and his sister Isis have been adopted into their foster home and are very loved by humans and several canine buddies. The rest of the furry familyalso have found their forever loving homes

He is absolutely stunning! Ginger/orange/cream tabbies will always have a special place in my heart. . . still miss you, Sunshine, Sugar and Maxie.
Such a handsome boy! Love his golden eyes!!
Thank you for making me smile a big smile:)
Ginger kitties are the most gorgeous!!!
What a handsome cat!!! so adorable. but, for sure, he is not a munchkin breed. It is as clear as the day.
Why did his eyes change from bright blue to green/gold? I'm thinking that the last couple of photos are not of the same cat as the rest of the series. ):
Kitties are full of wonderful things. When they are born, their eyes are blue, then their eye color changes as they grow older, though a small number of kitties' eyes stay blue. Aren't they simply amazing? Meow!
Dio, you're a dashing darling! Momma and siblings are simply georgeous! ♥♥
Hehe…*gorgeous* i meant!
so handsome!
He's so beautiful.
What a beautiful cat, love those eyes.
Wow! Beautiful cat! I didn't know their eye color could change over time.
Wow he is so beautiful,I too have a special place in my heart for ginger tabbies. My sweet Fred died this last March,he was eleven y/o. Had cancer. He was the most awesome cat!! He came running to a whistle, played fetch, met me at the door when I came home from work, I could go on and on! You hold on to your precious Dio!!! Ps: Cool name, Dio
I also had a special Creamy ginger boy, I miss him lots, his name was Buddy and it was exactly what he was
I absolutely love the timeline photos! He’s so adorable!
Absolutely gorgeous and so photogenic!
beautiful
Awww. So sweet baby.
Good looking boy! I love week 10; it looks like he’s smiling!
in the earlier picture, dino had blue eyes. but when it is grown up it has brown eyes?
Kittens, like human babies, are born with blue eyes which change over time to the natural eye color. Some kittens, like people, keep their blue eyes. However, the blue changes to either a lighter blue or a darker blue or a more intense blue or a blue/green or blue/grey. Sometimes, one eye will be blue and the other a different color in cats, dogs and people. I’ve even seen it on a horse. Eye color is very interesting!
Isn’t nature amazing?
Beautiful cat, but blue eyes to yellow eyes?
