With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear (acoustic) - Sleeping With Sirens

I woke up today feeling very playful but my human was still a `sleepins!  I could not believe it, it was already 5 a.m.!  So I lays there and grooms mah self and licked my immaculately silky short fur.  So good, i am.  I have beautiful silky hair that belongs in a Pantene commercial.  I'd have to say that I lap at myself constantly, except for when I'm sleeping. If I get bored, I lick myself. If someone touches me and ruffles my fur, I lick myself. Licking is the solution. If I've just used the facilities, I lick myself again. I would compare it to a human who might eat potato chips out of boredom. It's hard to stop! Maybe I'm OCDC? Nah, just kidding!

Then I used my litter box.  I have the best manners, my human said so.  I felt a burst of energy so I did a mad dash around the room.  Jumpin!  Stalkin!  Pouncin!  Practicin my huntin skills!  Ok, maybe i do have ocdc, but i really do just have lots of energy sometimes!  I think I had enough so i kept tryin to wake my human.  Finally she woke up!  She served me my breakfast:  3 oz of fishy cod delight. Yum!  I love the wet stuff.  I believe I had the whole can.  Then I played with a gold chocolate coin pouch- what can i say- i love the cheap stuff!  I love the toys she bought me yesterday, but I am perfectly amused playing with a takeout lid or a paper bag from Trader Joe's.  I have also been known to chase my fluffy tail, and i loves to play fetch!

Also, I had some tense encounters with the other cat named Ella today.  There are 3 others like me, but they are all old!  And they're all GIRLS!  As if being the only male in a house full of women isn't enough!  Yuck!  I guess its my job to clarify myself as the Prince of this castle.   So ever since i've moved here into the master chamber with my human, i've been mindin` my own business in hurr room, but sometimes, i sees the other felines standing at the door, just starin at me!  Creepy much?  Yeah, they just stand there and stare!  Especially the Siamese one.  She definitely has a staring problem, geesh!  We had a tense encounter yesterday.  She hissed at me and i fluffed up on her and she ran away. 

Introductions, if you please.

Hi my name is Toru!

Do you like my name?  I sure do.  My human tried to call me Otto, but I refused it.  Clearly, I am an oriental kitty, and don't you forget it!  My full name is Otaru, but you can call me Toru for short!  It is a Japanese name usually given to a baby boy.  I was adopted from a litter of 5 kittens on the internets.  It read: 

"Kittens - 2 months old - ready for a nice home. Two black-one boy, one girl. Two black/white-both boys. They use the box and eat regular food. Very sweet and happy. Thank you." 

My human came to my home and first saw me while I was busy noisily munching on my dinner and I guess she fell in love!  And alas, she has loved me ever since.  I was sad to leave my mama cat, brothers, and sisters, and really scared on the way to my new home, but my human made me a promise to always take good care of me, and make sure that I live a happy life, and her soothing voice reassured me everything would be okay.  I was adopted on Friday the 13th, July 2012 at 3 months old, and weighing a whole 3 pounds.  They called me fatty because I was the biggest of my brothers and sisters!  I was I am furever grateful to my first family for all the tender love and care they gave me, and for loving me so much to entrust my life into the hands of a stranger... and for that, my little heart is just bursting with gratitude.  What kindness!  My world is already so full of blessings. Praise the Lord!  I thank you for opening up your heart to me humans!  I feel like that's why i'm here- to share my joy with you!  So here it is; the story of my life, all my escapades & the inner workings of my kitty mind- for all to enjoy...
