Who is Kushka?
Kushka was born on May 30, 2005. She is a purebred white Maltese. Her name Kushka means “cat” in Russian. She was named this because Kushka believes that she is a feline. She likes to play with many stuffed animals and takes naps on her stuffed Saint Bernard whose name is “Bernie.” Kushka also likes to wear many different hats on her head. She loves the color pink and her favorite number is 177, which has special meaning to her. Over the past few years, Kushka has visited many elementary school classrooms, special needs schools, and book fairs and has appeared at outdoor festivals. Thousands of children of all ages have been entertained by her. Everyone comments on her beautiful, long, silky white hair and her cute bangs. Some have even remarked that they have seen Kushka smile at them. Kushka is a very well-behaved dog, even if she does think she is a cat.
In 2010, her first book, Kushka, the Dog Named Cat, was released. Kushka was introduced to all of us in this book. Kushka’s other books will include Kushka Travels the World and Kushka Learns Her ABC’s.
Kushka has received hundreds of emails from her fans all over the world, including Russia, Germany, Sweden, China, Italy, Spain and England, just to name a few. She even has a facebook page – Kushka the Dog Named Cat. You can friend her anytime.
