'''Kot''' – ''[Eng. Cat]'' is a member of the Polish [[furry]] fandom, and became a guest of the Scottish fandom in 2011. His [[fursona]] is a anthropomorphic [[w:Turkish Angora|Turkish Angora]], and is fairly accurate representation of himself in real life. He is 187 cm (6 feet 5”) tall, has amber eyes with green thin ring on the edge of his irises. He is covered with semi-long white, velvet fur (characteristically longer on his collar and tail). His trademark is his medallion [[Prognostikon]] that is worn by him most of the time.

For more than 5 years he has been in a long-term relationship with his partner.

== Furry fandom ==
Kot made his first steps in the furry fandom thanks to [[WereKatt]], a now dead website favouring transformation over strict furry ideology. His subsequent move being the discovery of the [[Transfur]] website in 2003.

Just after this period of his life he began to search further through the internet, staying for a while on [[Yerf]] (inactive,) and [[VCL]]. He started to find artists early on, those of note being [[Goldenwolf]], [[Dark_Natasha]], [[Kyoht]], [[Chris Sawyer]], [[Ayame]], and [[Heather Bruton]], and in around 2005 he discovered the [[Polfurs]] website, (which at the time only contained information on the fandom, without even a message board.) With the fandom being so small, Kot decided not to join.

Soon after this, Kot met his first furry, [[Red-Izak]], an artist specializing in drawings of birds and gryphons. Further wishing to find out more about furry art and goings-on, he visited a large number of smaller galleries and image boards.

On the 24th of June 2008, feeling a deeper need to meet more people from the fandom, Kot finally decided to join the Polish community. He registered his account on Polfurs, and since then has he has been an active member of the community. A couple of months later, when the [[Futrzaki.org]] website was created, he also joined up with that. From the same time he has also been present on the #Polfurs channel on [[IRC]].

In 2009 he was also promoted to IRC channel operator for #Polfurs, and in 2011 joined the [[UKfur]] message board.

== Futrzakon / Futerkon ==

In 2011, Kot was one of the co-organizers of [[Futrzakon]] 4, a national furry convention in Poland. In 2012, and was a co-organizer during the first year of [[Futerkon]], the follow up to Futrzakon. He has also been named as one of the main co-organizers for the second one in 2013.

During his journeys in 2012, Kot visited [[Scotland]] staying there for several weeks. He managed to make contact with [[Scotfurs|Scottish fandom]], meeting a number furries from Edinburgh and its surrounding area. This resulted with an invitation given to one of their local furries – [[CamashRed]] - to Futerkon 2012.

== Private life ==

Outside the fandom, Kot is an alumnus of one of Krakow's universities, having completed his masters in econometrics and information technology. Moreover, he is heavily experienced in non-profit event management, working for more than 6 years in NGO and academic entities. He is also trained in marketing and promotion, and is now working professionally as a financier and accountant. Currently he is employed and works for one of the world's largest brewing companies.

== Trivia ==

* The nickname Kot was invented solely for using in the furry fandom and was created simply as a quick and easy solution, with the consequence being that his nickname is widely recognizable with the Polish furries and is now linked with all his dealings in the fandom.
