This page lists notable TinyKittens events that occurred between March 2013 and April 2019.
March 26, 2025: I’ve been holding onto this document for years, hoping I’d somehow get the energy and inspiration to finish it to my satisfaction. That hasn’t happened, so I’ve decided to publish it as is, with all of its gaps and missing bits and pieces. (Note: I stopped regularly updating this site in early 2019, which is why the timeline only goes up to that point here and has some gaps even within the 2013 to 2019 timeframe.) I will hopefully go back one day and fill in some of the more notable missing events from 2013 to the present day, but it’s unlikely I’ll go back to fill things in as much detail as I did before 2019.
“Notable events” typically include births, deaths, surgeries, new arrivals, adoptions, and similar events. Information has been compiled from social media and videos. If you feel something is missing, please comment at the bottom of the page. Detailed recap pages are available for some dates; where the dates are hyperlinked, you can click the date to see the page for that date; otherwise, you can click the “Recap Notes” link in the top menu to browse through every published recap page here.
