Tora the Norwegian Forest Cat
Приєднався 20 січ 2024
You may call me Tora, or My Queen ٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)
I grant my humans permission to share stories from my life periodically, as they claim to have day jobs to put …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ in my belly and litter under my royal bum. They tell me they will try to upload a new video every Wednesday and Sunday, but we all know humans aren't to be trusted, which is one of many reasons why cats are the master race.

Nine Month Old Norwegian Forest Kitten Has a Confusing Bonding Session With Her Brother Panko '^'
We're not sure if Tora was trying to assert dominance and/or lay claim to some of Panko's area, but she strutted on in without a care in the world, and for awhile it seemed like the two were unsure of how to interact with each other.
Panko was just a wee bit too innocent and young then - now he's not afraid to chase after her, unless mom's nearby 🤭.
Awkward Moments. Boy Meets Girl. Penpals.
::::::::::::::::::::
Tora (Toe Ra/Taura), which means Tiger (虎) in Japanese, is a purebred black amber tabby Norwegian Forest Cat. Some of her common nicknames, all in Mandarin Chinese, are:
TuoXie (拖鞋) [Slipper]
ChouMao (臭貓) [Stinky Cat]
YaYa (鴨鴨) [Duck - she has quack-like meows at times]
MaoMao (貓貓) [Simply for Cat]
MaoRou (貓肉) [Cat Meat - no we don't eat cat, but she's a little meatball]
FengMao (瘋貓) [Crazy Cat]
GouDongXi (狗东西) [Literally "Dog Something", but basically "%(*@!* thing" when misbehaving]
GouMao (狗猫) [Literally "Dog Cat"; see above]
Other names include, but are not limited to: Heavy Meowchine Gun, Hey Google, RaRa, and Diva.
Sometimes we also just call her Or/OrOr, because she makes that sound 😬. We also call her Lawn Mower whenever she starts purring...
Her dad still thinks she looks more like a lion than a tiger, but that's up for debate. She was born on 10/13/23 and has been with us since 1/19/24. Please subscribe if you wish to continue seeing her grow - in age, size, and naughtiness :)

This was a long overdue compilation that we finally put together of a multitude of Toran sounds. She is a very vocal cat, and communicates with us in 50 shades of meow.

However, we figured we'd post some footage just shot half an hour ago to show how Tora's doing as of today, 12/25/24. She had already had a few play sessions earlier in the day that we forgot to record, so she was a little more calm by the time this impromptu session came up 😪. Merry Christmas to t...

There was a brief period when Tora wasn't quite able to eat enough out of her bowl to satisfy her little tummy due to the conefinement :(, so we resorted to feeding her out of a syringe.

The first time we presented a chicken neck to Tora as a treat, she wasn't quite sure how to enjoy it, and mostly used experimental sensory licks. Perhaps this time she was older (seven instead of six months old), smarter (with age), hungrier (always), or all of the above, but she went to town and city on the thing!

Hello, success always my brother 😻😻😻
Tora, du er en sterk og vakker jeger! Jeg håper at du en dag vil være i stand til å streife rundt i skogen til ditt forfedres hjemland! 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
Beautiful baby❤.
Big fuzzy baby 👶🍼~
Absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤
😻🐈⬛🥰
That baby gonna get big!
She has the potential to keep growing in size over the next 3.5 years 🤭😬...
She is the kind of cat I would LOVE to hug someday. So darn adorable!
We're sure she has an extra oily coat from all the facerubbing we do with her 😸.
Tora is absolutely adorable!!
😸😸❤
Very nice. Thank you for the contemporary clip; she is just stunning (I think I post that in every comment I make, but it's true). So she wasn't tempted to climb the tree herself?
She's climbed up on her own quite a few times and at random, always from the center of the tree thankfully. While many ornaments have been knocked down, the tree has managed to withstand her antics 😁. She's not done growing however, and we're not sure how much longer the branches will be able to handle her weight...
Poor girl. The inability to properly groom must be as frustrating as an unreachable itch under a cast.
Definitely so! She had to make up for a lot of lost time and cleanliness once the cone came off :)
I don't know why, but every time I see her, her black accents (especially her feet) just intrigue me.
At one year and two months old, she still has the black tips. Doesn't seem like it's just a passing growth-phase :)
She's so pretty!!
It's her saving grace for when her behavior needs checking 😆...
Ick, nasty plastic cone. A soft fabric donut is such a better choice. Although she doesn't seem to mind.
We originally tried a fabric watermelon "cone" on her, but she noped that really quicky 🥲. At least she quickly adjusted and this is all half a year ago in the past!
slam dunk. nice Tora's decided to watch along with you.
🏀She appreciates the finer motions of colorful lights emitted from the TV
The cutest of twitches
😽🐈
Good hunting, little girl. You are the fiercest beast in the forest!
Definitely earned this recharge!
Adorable and playful kitten
😸
That plastic lid is very flexible lmao what a cute cat i love him
It's gorgeous fr
Yup, nearly as flexible as Tora 😁
I know this is unrelated but give the Quran a read, also what a majestic tail that is
I'm more of a dog person overall, but that is a beautiful cat. If I were to own a cat, that is one breed that would be at the top of my list.
As Tora's father, I 1000% agree with you and have always been a dog person. However, Tora's the cat I never knew I wanted - she's affectionate, prefers human companionship over independence, hilarious, and quite the looker 😉... plus, she helps the doggo burn off some of his energy.
Tora is a beautiful angel! ❤
If angels had a naughty streak, then yes! 😁
The feathers are going to be the first prey…..😊😂
Feathers don't stand a chance against her 😖😆.
I've run out of superlatives to describe her tail. It's just........ Edit: And it appears she _STILL_ has yet to grow into her paws.
The tail is its own living organism sent back from the future to ensure our mesmerize-ment :]
What a beautiful fluffy cutie!! She's got a really majestic tail!
Her tail just screams "Nibble me"! 😋
Gorgeous! Q: do NF cats shed their winter coat for summer?
Yes! We had to comb her every other day just to prevent the remaining fur from knotting 😅...
Purry baby! ❤
D'awww Purr-fectly adorable, She's sooo sweet!
Definitely sweet and adorable, but she can cause some damage too 😆...
This extremely beautiful kitten will become an extremely beautiful cat. 😻🙌🏽
12 out of 10 on a cuteness scale!! She's sooo adorable!
The scores are in by unanimous decision! 😽
Very nice toy 😊😺💙
😮💨😝
Yikes; I would be banishing that thing as soon as I heard it. More importantly, I simply cannot get over how subtle the tones are in Tora's coat. Every angle seems to reveal new details in shading and hue. She's just stupendously beautiful.
🤣absolutely should be banished to the abyss, but yes she's quite the beautiful little creature of wonders 🤩!
Awww how cute 😊😺Tora 💖💖
Car is hidding?! 🚗❓❓

She's beautiful!

@@ToraCrossingoops she ! 🥰
Have you seen those powered rolling cat toys, say something like a Migipaws cat ball? I wonder if she wouldn't chase those around.
Not yet but we're open to looking into any kinds of fun and crazy things for her to love, chew, and destroy 😁. Thanks for the suggestion!
Getting so big and beautiful. Love her big feet and sweet face
She uses both of those to get out of the trouble she causes 😆...
Precious baby.
