Ori
A somewhat clumsy feline with a mysterious past, Ori can often be found crashing Zoom calls, surveying his domain from a high perch, or ambushing unsuspecting toys. His interests lie in trans-species prospective memory: he wants to know the optimal conditions under which his adopted humans will remember to give him treats.
