Meet Otearai
Hi everyone!
This is my cat, his name’s Otearai. I found him yelling outside my apartment around Thanksgiving last year. Janani and I brought him inside right away because he looked sad, cold and lonely out there.
He had fleas when we first found him, so he had to be quarantined to the bathroom so as to not give fleas to Janani’s cats. Since he spent the first few weeks of his time with us in the bathroom, we named him Otearai, which is Japanese for washroom. We call him Oto for short though.
We tried to track down his owner, and found a lot of very similar looking cats, but no perfect matches. Turns out lynx point Siamese cats are a lot more common than we realized though.
He’s getting along with the other cats better all the time. He’s very lively and energetic, but can be sweet and cuddly too. Sometimes we take him in the backpack for some company on coffee runs. All the baristas at our neighborhood cafe love him. I’d say he’s pretty happy to have found a home here.
