The Cheshire Cat

The Cheshire cat wasn't always the wise and mysterious character that Alice meets in "Through the Looking Glass". He was once a young cat, facing the same challenges all cats face - what to eat, when and where to nap, and of course - girls. Although he seems an impressive character to Alice, the Cheshire cat was once quite ordinary. If not for those dentures left on the night stand, he might not have made it into Alice's book at all...
