My cat is aging, dust colored, and stares at me with lamp-like eyes, 
so I am not sure I remember little kitten looks anymore...

As for the calendar of CS, I am really quite certain of any dates I 
put on there. I read very carefully and left out even big events if I 
couldn't put a pretty solid date to them. I think probably that my 
calendar is MORE detailed than anything JKR herself put together and 
that its a continuity error on her part. If you think about it, she 
was probably thinking that it was several months, just like she's 
always pictured a thousand students, and didn't realize that she'd 
written things that contradicted that.
