 | At 4 weeks (left) he is just beginning to show his distinct personality while by 6 weeks (right) the "aaah" factor is definitely established! |  |
 | By the time we get to 8 weeks he is quite clearly the most beautiful kitten on the planet - and knows it! |  |
And indeed, everyone else thought so too because he followed Shiraz into "The People's Friend", featured in "The Cat" (the magazine of Cats Protection) and became Kitten of the Month in "Your Cat"! Now that's real fame!  |  | |
| Posing for the camera can be a totally exhausting business though! Sorry - must just take a doze next to the friendly tiger before the next photo-shoot. | But eventually you've got to get back to it again, and it's time to look appealing once more. | |
 | Well into his first year now (left) his gorgeous long-haired coat is developing wonderfully while by Xmas 2009 he is distinguished by a "lion's mane" (right). |  |
 | He definitely acquired the obligatory love of gardening though! The raspberries provide welcome shade from the summer sun while observing the goings-on in the vegetable patch. | |
 | And while sun is good, snow is also no problem - though spotting a white cat on a white landscape can be a little tricky! |  |
| By the age of 5 Saadi had blossomed into the most beautiful long-haired cat you will ever see, which made his loss all the more difficult to bear. | ||
