zomg! best birfday present EVER ^_^: sarah-jane; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:04 PM

Before the nuffing starts - read the article. He's not keeping the tiger. (I was scared.) It's going to a zoo or wildlife preserve.: Blyhagd; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:05 PM

Well.. I hope the mommy tiger they took the little one from is still alive. It's cute, but... to give such an endangered animal as a gift is just so idiotic and heartless.: LisaL; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:10 PM

I saw this on CNN earlier. So cute! I, too, was relieved that he was giving this adorable sweetie to a zoo. But there will still be nuffs.: warrior rabbit; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:10 PM

And before anyone says anything, I'm not nuffing the reciever, I read the article so saw that he's not keeping it, I'm angry at the idiot who gave the present to him.: LisaL; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:11 PM

See?: warrior rabbit; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:12 PM

Awwww what a BABY!!! Love her!: Fegli; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:18 PM

We should get Dubya a BIGGER kitty.... [http://www.photoshoppix.com/coppermine/displayimagepopup/pid=1099/fullsize=1.html - Ed.]: donna; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:22 PM

Cool Birthday Present! Hey It is My Birthday too !!! I want a BIG kitty for my Birthday ! Please!: sahrawi Wife; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:23 PM

ZOMGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ I wish i was him,such a great birthday present... ;__; i want one too.: Krystal; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:25 PM

I think he'll decide not to give her away after all. I think he'll raise her to be his permanent companion, to follow him to summits and to rest her head in his lap to be petted while he informs dissidents that we are very much alike, you and I. He's just that kind of leader. I wonder if he can even travel abroad without a coffin full of his home soil to sleep in.: A.; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:33 PM

Cub = cute. Person who gave it = idiot. Putin = murderous creep. But it IS a cute tiger cub! I hope Putin is kinder to it than he is to Russia's investigative journalists...: Julia (the one in BC); | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:40 PM

In the footage on CNN, the tiger was totally unimpressed by Mr. Putin, I have to say.: warrior rabbit; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:47 PM

Hmmmm, Siegfried, Roy and Alexander...YUMMMY!: Nancy; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:51 PM

putin doesn't deserve a "rare" tiger cub. pshhh ~_~: lily; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:53 PM

Lol at Putin giving the peace sign!: Jaja; | Oct 10, 2008 at 06:54 PM

The Russian for milk is moloko... I don't recall the plural. ^_^: fish eye no miko; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:02 PM

That tiger is too cute! I feel guilty because it was given to that undeserving creep, even though I didn't give it to him. That's how cute this tigerlette is!: Sunstorm; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:11 PM

Hmm, if he filed down his teeth and grew out his nails, Putin would look a lot like Nosferatu. Anyway... For the sake of Peace (the world's and my own) I would like to volunteer to nom the tiger kitteh's ears and scratch her fuzzy chin. I'm willing to do it, comrades.: 260Oakley; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:14 PM

@Jaja: lol that ironic symbol didn't go unnoticed at our house either. Here's hoping that kitty uses Mr. P as a scratching post before he'd exiled to the zoo. ;): Michelle S; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:23 PM

Julia and Sunstorm. You are SO RIGHT. And yeah, I also hope stripey's mom is all right. It's a tough call any way you play it; I just pray tiger is going to be safe and well-cared-for.: jmuhj; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:25 PM

I really hope this kitty is not one that will have be sent to a zoo when owner gets tired of him or have to be trained to re-enter the wild.: Grasswidow; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:33 PM

Am I the only one creeped out by tiger baby sleeping in a bed made of tiger-print fabric? It seems...a bit strange. Also, I'm sure that whomever gave Putin the tiger did it knowing that the man was not going to keep it as a pet. I mean, really~"World Leader Attacked by Pet Tiger" would not play well. That of course is assuming Putin would allow it to be reported...: Amanda; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:56 PM

putin will probably give it to the zoo, or train it to be the best bodyguard there ever was: ashley; | Oct 10, 2008 at 07:58 PM

Cub is seriously, seriously cute!! I know what you mean about the fabric, Amanda, but how cute does kitty look in the basket? Totally nommable ears. I'd much rather see photos of this sweet baby without Putin, his presence in the picture is disturbing to me.: AmyJ; | Oct 10, 2008 at 08:19 PM

It must be a very, very, very cute animal that distracts me from the not-so-nice human politician. But I gotta say, that's one cute behbeh tiger.: berthaservant; | Oct 10, 2008 at 08:22 PM

I was JUST about to send this to Meg myself! Dang, ya gotta be quick around here!: Not That Mike The Other Mike; | Oct 10, 2008 at 08:31 PM

Did you see the video where he was working with a tracking team to tranq a 5 year old tiger? They got her and put on the collar, but Putin kept patting her cheek - it was so cute <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkt5G0uHO0g And for the record: I always wanted one of these ;D Ever since I was little. Favouritest animal ever!: lila_may_qt; | Oct 10, 2008 at 08:51 PM

I'm amazed no one has said it yet: In Soviet Russia, pet owns you!: Jackie; | Oct 10, 2008 at 09:12 PM

Oh please. This guy is more self-promoting than Donald Trump. I guess he wasn't going to get the same amount of press for a shirtless shot of him rock climbing. And the Judo dvd isn't selling so hot...: Kar; | Oct 10, 2008 at 09:24 PM

it's good to be the top of the food chain: blair; | Oct 10, 2008 at 09:26 PM

D'awwwwwwwww. Well, I for one embrace our new cute overlord.: Kuu; | Oct 10, 2008 at 09:30 PM

I wonder if he'll bring it with him when he rears his head in Alaskan airspace.: anner; | Oct 10, 2008 at 09:44 PM

I'm more than over the ones who delight in making an nuffer announcement and insult of same if anyone deviates from kyoot! oooh! as comments. Trying to ignore his record of human abuse, this evil creature is responsible for policies that are carelessly destroying the habitat of the last big tigers and bears of Siberia. The only tiger I'd give him is a 600-pound mankiller--and it would be in a cage, alone, with him.: Daphne Moss; | Oct 10, 2008 at 09:52 PM

"Meelks" in Russia? Also a kee-yoot-tastic word: malako (if you're from Moscow, try "moloko" on for size if you're feeling a little bit Siberian today) :D Although, the cutest word in Russian is still "choot-choot" (meaning, "a little bit"). So, choot-choot malako for this 'ittle teegr? [that might be too "clockwork orange" for comfort!] I just hope this tiny-tidbit of epic echelons of adorableness doesn't end up in the Moskva Zoo! 'Tis a scary place...: Caitlin; | Oct 10, 2008 at 10:06 PM

Milk is moloko, with very short o's, but meeelks is molokoyeee.: BunRab; | Oct 10, 2008 at 11:04 PM

yes! a BEEGER one for W Bush - attached to hees wittle FACE!!! SQUEEEEEE!: lingua; | Oct 11, 2008 at 12:55 AM

Moloko velocet? Horrorshow, my devotchka!: darkshines; | Oct 11, 2008 at 01:37 AM

Everyone here = Victim of U.S. propaganda.: Kanki; | Oct 11, 2008 at 03:03 AM

This is entirely staged to make Putin seem like a nice guy. The know precisely what will happen with the kitten, and it will be all be done to make ol' Vlad seem like a pussy-cat himself. I'm not nuffing, I'm cynical, there is a difference. Mr. P. has a spotty record, he should get a full-grown, very hungry leopard. Mr. Putin is not invited to any of my birthday parties, for sure.: Katrina; | Oct 11, 2008 at 04:17 AM

And there goes the Qte buzz I was getting from the pictures of the baby tiger....by clicking on the comments.: Vampy; | Oct 11, 2008 at 05:49 AM

All I ask for my birthday is a toy tiger cub. I don't even get that.

Mr. "Don't F*** With Me" Putin gets a real tiger cub?

No justice in this world.: Wicked; | Oct 11, 2008 at 06:09 AM

I've always wanted to pet a baby tiger! I think it would be great to have a chance to play around with a tiger.: Matt; | Oct 11, 2008 at 06:23 AM

Malashenka is Russian for babyface, so he will give her a cute name at least. BEFORE HE EATS HER!! AAHHHH!!: yookie; | Oct 11, 2008 at 06:29 AM

It's a dubious sort of gift, sure. But it's also a priceless gift, and a thoughtful one (in its own way). If the sender had not given the tiger cub to Putin, you wouldn't know about it to complain, would you? At least he's taking care of the cub. Putin also isn't a murderous creep. He was a fine President for Russia, and he oversaw a huge economic boom in his country. The Russian people are better-off now than at any point in the past 150+ years. The "murderous" things Putin has done are no worse than those President Bush or PM Blair has done.: Redbone; | Oct 11, 2008 at 07:27 AM

Yes because if WE were all leaders of one of the argest industrialized nations in the wrodl we'd TOTALLY do it like, you know, different! Adorable kitty!: balamuthia; | Oct 11, 2008 at 07:35 AM

I'm with you, Katrina. No birthday party invites for Vlad. At least not until he's been "re-educated" in an official Cute Overload camp.: Molls; | Oct 11, 2008 at 07:35 AM

That was my one and only point, Molls, thank you. Politics be damned, the kitteh is cute and someone who is a cuteologist should have custody of the puddy-tat. That's all I'm saying. I also wouldn't give such a precious puddy to Bush or Blair or Brown or,oh, never mind...., thanks Molls! I feel understood. Vampy, that is all I meant, sorry to 'harsh' your buzzz. That puddy is worth more than a Nobel or a Pulitzer or an Emmy or any of those 'honors', this is a live creature, afterall....: Katrina; | Oct 11, 2008 at 08:02 AM

Redbone -- re: that last bit? ...not helping your argument any.: Theo; | Oct 11, 2008 at 08:18 AM

I just don't know how anyone can even notice Putin (or any human being) while gazing into those stunning tigger eyes. Seriously, when faced with such an adorabubbles tigger face, how can anyone focus enough to gripe about a politician (valid points or random hysteria)? Seriously folks. TIGGER! BABY FRAKING TIGGER!: Vampy; | Oct 11, 2008 at 08:57 AM
