In Egyptian, this album is titled The Chick is not a dog. The chick of this story is small, soft and round, he lives in an inner world made of caresses and naps. The dog, on the other hand, is tall, upright and nocturnal, he lives outside and challenges dogs, children, bad guys. The hero and narrator is a young boy, between chick and dog, who leaves the tender universe of maternal fold for the outside and aggressive world. Katkout is the story of a childhood coming to an end.
