Five Month Old Norwegian Forest Cat Tries On Harness For the First Time - 5MO Tora Prepares to Roam

Breaking in the kitty to be walked 😎.

Being that Norwegian Forest Cats are among the largest breeds of domesticated cats, we figured we'd flaunt her overgrowth around the neighborhood in due time, and along on our travels.

We had previously tried an oversized harness that she will one day grow into, and that was an episode of trying to convince her to stick her little head through a large opening with treats on the other end.

This smaller harness was rather simple (albeit with four hands at work) to put on, and Tora didn't really seem to notice it or mind... oddly enough.

Apologies for the clutter around the house ;)

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, and RaRa.

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 :)
