Someone’s in the Kitchen with Maru

Maru checks the storage capacity in the kitchen. After careful examination, he determines that there is storage capacity in the kitchen. Relieved by his observations, he crawls into the refrigerator to become a cool cat. Alas, he is deceived by cardboard imitations, which also explains why that salmon he put on the range hasn’t browned in over a hour.

    Um…it’s snowing in Maru’s kitchen. Maybe he should check the roof… 😉

    I really wanted Hana to close the drawer on him. 😛

    He gets the fanciest of toys <3 as he should

    I’ve often wondered if most of these fancy toys and playthings Maru gets are loans for testing and filming. It’s a way to introduce new things to a vast public for minimal cost.

    Or Mugumogu may just be spoiling her silly boy. ?

    Is this actually a set of toys for the cats, or a child’s playset? Very cool!

    I thought Maru IN the sink was the best, until he crawled UNDER it. Such silly felines.

      Did we really have any doubt that he would try to get into that little space?

        Nope.

    Maru: am I living in a simulation? Who AM I, and what is “real”?

      For some reason the Talking Heads popped into my head…

      And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
      With a beautiful wife
      And you may ask yourself, well
      How did I get here?

        Love that early era of music videos where everyone is still trying to figure out what to do in this new medium.

        Here’s another “I’m wearing a black jacket white shirt in front of a projection” video:

          Haha! I love that song!

          The first comment on the Talking Heads video says “I guarantee you nobody that watched this video for the first time on MTV back in 1982 (Me included) never thought this would have 23 million views on some cyber-social platform 35 years later. Back then, I had no idea wtf I had just watched, I just knew it was weird as hell and I wanted more.”

        Certainly you’ve seen the Trump parody version, Allein??? Google “Trump vs Talking Heads” (I think it’s better if I don’t link it…)

        • allein ? December 3, 2017 / 11:03 am

          Oh my dog, I had not seen that!

          That led me to “Donald Trump: The Muppet Show Mashup” and “Sesame Street has been mocking Trump” 🙂

    I was afraid His Royal Thickness was going to fall through the sink. Love how Hana always comes to check out what silly mischief he’s gotten into.

    I was so impressed he pulled the box out so he could get into it.

    • Dana December 2, 2017 / 9:01 pm

      He’s had a lot of practice ?




      • dubravkamcvmd December 2, 2017 / 9:31 pm

        I hadn’t seen that one. He’s an impressive pussycat.

        I, too, came here to say that cats usually can’t figure out any move that requires a motion opposite what they want — for example, they can’t figure out to lift a lid so they can get under it. I remember a Maru video just like that, he collapsed a box top to get inside rather than lift it. However, he CAN figure out how to open a drawer. I didn’t remember the linked video either, but sure enough, there he is, pulling toward himself. Maybe sideways is easier than up?

        Also, the linked video was over EIGHT years ago! Maru is getting up there in years. It seems like his tail is even thicker, now, too. Seems like Hana is almost as voluminous as Maru now, also.

        • Faye January 23, 2019 / 12:16 pm

          I too noticed the increased tail thickness. And Maru’s impressive thwapping of the tail. I want to run that tail through my hand.
