Every Home Should Have One

Once upon a time, about six years ago, there was a very tiny kind of Knut - and he had brothers too - that eagerly wanted to discover the world outside the kitten kingdom.

Some months later Knut finally had the looks of an actual cat. And then some years after that he had grown up to be quite a handsome male cat, a very distinguished showgoer, a true charmer. He also managed to sire a few kittens along the way to his nowadays strictly advisory status. Not to mention his astounding achivement in becoming the fabulastic fourlegged primeminister of Sweden.

When one day discovering he had really lovely fangs he thought the right thing to do was to try a career as a bird butcher - which was, touch wood, a once in a life time thing. So when that didn't work he continued as a presumtive chocolate tester.

Though alas that somehow didn't seem like a plausible Knut-career either, so the only decent thing to do with those lovely fangs is to show them generously as often as possible. He is just unstoppably chatty - and adorable and red and furry and cuddly and today he turns 6 years old - happy birthday, Knut!!
