2008 GRAND PRIZE WINNERS
NIKLOS
as
COUNT DRATUNA
Hello I'm Niklos,
a French cat, living in Toulouse in South West of France.
Freya I'm really happy to be here with you as you are the great leader of the BFCC
and you succeeded very well in continuing the great job your big brother Henry did.
Freya
Thank you, Niklos. I especially appreciate hearing that from such a distinguished cat.
You have been active in the Cat Internet for a long time. Did you know my Henry?
Niklos
Of course I used to know Henry. He was a real nice cat and I liked talking and making plans with him.
But let us begin at the ... beginning :)
I was born in 09/09/97 and joined my actual family in December 97.
There I met the cat who will become my big brofur and who was already a well known cat on the Internet : Chazot.

He knocked at the fence and |

Freya
I'm sure you remember Queen Midnight - one of the great ladies of the internet.
Niklos
Yes she was a real Queen, and I was very shy when she came to talk to me.
I was just a kitten and tried to do my best to please her.
Like you, I had to walk in the paws of my brofur Chazot when he went to the bridge
and do what he used to do in CLAW to help QM.
I really enjoyed taking classes and learned a lot of things there,
but my favorite things were the hunts.
I was a proud member of a team called "The Lions" with my friends
and we really enjoyed to hunt after butterflies or Easter eggs, in all the rooms of CLAW.
Freya
I was in a few hunts in Fur and Fang - and they were so much fun.
What other things have you done on the internet?
Niklos
Well, not too much. I have my own site but it's not really updated. Growing older, I'm a bit lazy, you know.
With my special friends we built a Carnival specially for Queen Midnight and created some Halloween stories.
Freya
Niklos, I'd love to hear about your kittyhood.
Niklos
Wow that's far away, not sure I remember such things.
Well .. I always was an angel (Meomwie told me that everyday).
I used to jump on Chazot's tail to play with it, but he didn't like that.
When I was around 1 year old, Mom took me to kitty contests. Real ones !!
I remember I went to Barcelona in Spain, where I met Queen Tissy and her family.
Queen Tissy learned to me how to hiss in Psanish ... Excuse me, Freya, I meant Spanish.
During all the show I hissed at judges
but they decided I was a very beautifur kitty
and I won the first prize amongst all the neutered kitties in the show.
Freya
How funny, Niklos. You seem so dignified. I wish I'd seen you hissing at those judges.
They were smart though and knew you deserved that award.
You are a beautiful cat, Niklos. Just look at your beautiful eyes !!
Freya
I know you've been in contests and have won a lot,
but I heard of one you lost ... hmm ... I think it was a bad, bad kitty contest? Is that right?
Niklos
Not that one, as I told you before I was, and always will be, an angel.
So I've been in the GOOD GOOD KITTY CONTEST ..... and you know what? I was second.
And you know who won this contest ? You won't believe it !
The same cat who won the BAD BAD KITTY CONTEST. Jessie herself. There's no justice !!!!
Also I've been in many BFCC-CLAW Halloween contests and won several prizes.
Freya Jessie won both the Bad Kitty Contest AND the Good Kitty Contest? You're right. That's not fair. However I know you have many other trophies, like this cup you won in Barcelona. |

Niklos, I know you're an angel, but I heard that you once got into some trouble
in the back yard.
Is this rumor correct?
Niklos
Oh yes !!! It's true. I don't know why I wanted to go in the neighbor's garden.
There's no more birds once I'm there.
The fence between the two gardens is very high, and I'm a bit .... hum ...
how to say ....a bit chubby .. So, no one could expect I jump over it.
And I did it !!! Twice !!!
After that I had no right to go in the garden for a time.
Now I'm again an angel, so Mom can live her life with no worries about me.
Freya
I can understand your Mom not wanting you to wander off. My Meowmie is the same way.
It's because they love us and want to keep us safe.
I want to end our wonderful interview with a lovely true story.
Will you please tell us about your friend, Licorice - how you two got together and what happened?
Niklos
Licorice was found by my Mom in the streets. He was only 4 months old.
She brought him home (I think I was 3 or 4 years old at that time)
and she found him a home at a friend's.
Everytime one of our Moms goes to holiday we go to the other Mom's house
to be taken care of.
He will come for Christmas holidays as his Mom goes to visit her family in Paris.
Licorice is black and white with long hair and we like to play together, or we pretend we are fighting each other.
But with the weight of years, we take a lot of naps now.
Freya
I love that story, Niklos. Such friendship and happiness.
Interviewing you has been a happy experience for me.
I hope you continue winning prizes and friends !!!
Thanks so much !!
Niklos
It was my pleasure, Freya, and
I wish everyone a Happy New Year.
