"Good morning, Spots!"
I'm rustled from my slumber as a gentle hand stroked my fur. I let out a meow, shaking my out my fur and stretching out.
"Hehe, he's so cute," I lick my lips and meow at the other small human in the bed across from the one I slept in that night.
'Good morning, small humans!' I rubbed against the girl in the bed, 'Let's have lots of fun today!'
Good morning! My name is Spots.
I'm a kitten that belongs to the Tachibana family. There's a big male human called Dad, a big female human called Mom, and two little humans called Ren and Ran. I mostly hang around with Ren and Ran, but some days they disappear for a while, so I get to hang around with Mom.
I followed Ren and Ran into the bathroom, using the litter box while they put weird sticks into their mouth to create foam. It was a weird ritual, but I would wait patiently at their feet while they did it.
The two of them wandered out of the bathroom and I followed, trotting down the stairs next to them, stretching when I reached the end of the stairwell. I meowed up at Ren, rubbing against his legs, making him stumble a little.
"Spots!" he giggled, walking into the kitchen where his parents were.
'Good morning, Mom and Dad!' I rub against Mom's legs, 'I'm hungry!'
"Good morning, you two," Dad said, setting down his paper to hug the twins, and I sat down in front of my food bowl and meowed.
"Ran, it's your turn to feed Spots!" Ren said as he climbed into his seat, and Ran huffed, trotting over to me and picking up my food bowl. I meowed and meowed and meowed; I'm hungry, hungry, hungry!
"Here you go!" Ran cooed, placing the bowl of food back down next to my water dish.
'Thanks for the meal!' I hurriedly eat my breakfast, the Tachibanas sitting down and eating their breakfast as well.
After breakfast, I plopped down and groomed myself, licking my chops and my paws. It's hard work being this handsome!
"C'mon you two, you're going to be late!" Mom scolded, and I perked up and trotted to the door as the family got ready to leave.
"Bye-bye, Spots! We'll be back home soon to play!" Ran called, waving to me, and Ren waved as well, being ushered out the door by Dad.
"Well," Mom smiled down at me, "Looks like it's just you and me for the rest of the afternoon!"
I licked my lips again. I'm ready for a nap!

The living room is really warm during the day. They have lots of big windows that let in the sun. Sometimes I like to sit and watch the birds outside, but today I decided that it would be nice to be lazy.
Until a squirrel came and started grooming itself right in front of the window.
I sat up immediately and stared at it.
A squirrel. On my turf? I don't think so!
I crouched down, getting ready to pounce. I waited until the squirrel was cleaning at its belly, then...Attack!
My nose hit the glass with a painful 'thunk', but it succeeded to make the squirrel jump and sprint away.
It hurt, but at least I taught that squirrel a lesson!
"What are you doing, Spots?" Mom asked, and I looked at her briefly before looking back outside.
'I'm protecting my turf, Mom!' I licked my lips and watch the birds in the birdbath, 'You wouldn't understand, since you're a human.'
"Ah, watching the birds," she giggled, leaning down to scratch behind my ears, "Protecting the house. What a good little kitten!"
'Uwaaah! Maybe you do understand!'

I got to sit on the counter while Mom was making dinner. She even fed me little bits of the meat she was cooking.
'Tasty! Mom, it's tasty!' I chewed on the piece of meat happily, and she smiled at me.
My ears perked up as I heard the front door open.
'Ren and Ran are back!' I licked my lips after I finished the meat, jumping off the counter and quickly trotting to the front door, meowing on my way over.
"Spots!" Ren greeted me happily, stroking my head. I purred happily, rubbing against the two of them, meowing all the while.
'I missed you, small humans!' I looked up at them as the dropped their belongings, and Ran giggled.
"Moooom?" she called, "Is it okay to play with Spots for a little bit before we do homework?"
"…Alright," Mom called from the kitchen, "But only for a little while! Then you should do your homework!"
The two smaller humans cheered, Ran picking me up carefully and taking me to the living room.

Playing with the twins is always my favorite part of the day. They always manage to find random toys for us to play with.
But sometimes while we're playing, a little, bright dot appears on the floor.
And I have to chase it. I have to! Where did it come from? Why can't I ever catch it?
I frantically try and catch the dot with my paws, and just when I think I have it, it appears next to my closed paws.
How does it do that?!
"Ren, Ran, dinner time!" Mom called from the other room, and the twins groaned in unison.
The dot mystically disappeared.
I paused, ears twitching as I stared at the spot it was last at.
…Where did it GO?!

"Alright, that's enough TV," Mom said, "Time for bed!"
"Awww, Moooom, we're not tiiiiired," Ren whined, and I meowed, agreeing with him.
Then my jaw cracked open with a yawn, betraying my earlier protest. I guess I was tired.
"Spots begs to differ," Dad laughed, "C'mon, all three of you, time for bed."
Ren and Ran whined and complained, but they relented and left the couch, and I followed them diligently, grooming myself as they foamed up their mouths again.
I jumped into Ren's bed that night, curling up on his chest.
"Good night, Spots," he whispered, kissing my head, and I meowed quietly, purring as my eyes drifted shut.
'Good night, small humans,' I let out a breath through my nose, 'Let's play lots more tomorrow!'
