I always saw Totoro as an owl so I guess I got it right!

Because the most common artwork I see of Totoro is the standing/sitting position, staring straight ahead posture with the ears. So it always reminded me of an owl.

Looking at him today and considering an owl as the inspiration I can see it more. Having hands and forward facing feet and more pronounced whiskers throws me off from seeing it initially, but I take it that's to make him seem a little more human or at least mammalian and to allow him to hold things like the umbrella he couldn't do with wings.
