Here’s a fascinating story of mutual self-interest in action. For about five years, a nearly blind raccoon visited this home near the forest for handouts. At some point, the raccoon attracted a pair of feral cat “bodyguards” who stayed close to him in order to get handouts themselves. Even after the old raccoon passed away, the bodyguards came to visit the house, and so the homeowner adopted them.

I’ll have what they’re having, Faye.
We’re used to seeing Maru and Hana as adult cats, but Hana was once a rambunctious kitten, keeping the older Maru on his toes. As part of mugumogu’s massive Marupalooza video flood, here are some new videos of the old days. Thanks to Diane B. and Andrew Y.
