Roku
Roku is a Thai cat with over half a million followers on
Instagram. We first learned he was a
fan of SUITCASE when his father posted photos of him sitting (one
of his favourite things to do) on a copy of Volume 13. He’s a busy cat, with a wife (Hachi the
cat) to please, a family to raise and a tight schedule to stay on
top of. Known for his flattering outfits and outrageous poses, we
speak to Roku about life, travel and the importance of style.

Though it’s fun to see my phone going mental when I post a photo
on Instagram, I never let it get to me. I’m very happy where I am
with my parents and kids. There are famous cats everywhere around
the world and new ones everyday, if you let the fame get to you
it’s not going to feel great when it goes away. So, no 🙂
I don’t have a hobby. I have a rather tight schedule to have any
hobby. I think (with my eyes closed) a lot, but that’s not a hobby.
I like to sit on dad’s keyboard in front of his screen, in fact
that’s what I’m doing now… that’s also not a hobby.
Smilodon aka Sabertooth cat. I think I was one in my previous
life. But that name though!
Her strength. Tiny little thing, taking care of four little
kids. What a boss.
Rolling around on the carpet tends to loosen my fur a little and
give it that little static electricity that makes a very good human
magnet.
It’s got to be the culture. I love places with rich culture,
friendly people and lots of smiles. Oh, and fooooooood!
Not sure, every dish seems to be great when I see them on the
table and by looking at my parent’s expressions on their faces. I
only get to eat BBQ fish once in a while and even that is
amazing.
Sleeping questions are the best! Mine is facing up… humans say
I sleep like a human, but really it’s the other way around.
Well, it’s got to be dad’s keyboard. It’s nice and warm but it
tends to make a lot of beeping sounds. Buh!
Style should last. Style should not
be in and out of seasons. Having style is easy, but keeping it
seems to be really hard for a lot of people. Keep it simple yet
detailed is my way to go.
I sleep in them all day. I’ve been through all my parents
suitcases and even their weekender.
Seriously? Cat nip!
Sit in my fav position, human style and watch the clouds and the
scenery below. NEVER sleep on the plane, unless it’s a night
flight.
The ability to ride with my dad on his Vespa. That will be the
best day of my life!
Cat is just something they call us. But really we are magic
healers, we are doctors in disguise. Helping mind, body and
soul.
I’ve worked on couple of charity projects for homeless animals
in the past years and I’ll still be doing the same in the future.
To stay truly happy, is to make everyone around us happy.
