Japan’s least claustrophobic cat, Maru devotes his life to squeezing into any box, while his partner Hana puts up with this silliness.
Maru loved to sway back and forth on his indoor swing, and now Kitten Miri gets into the swing of things too. Later, she and Hana visit the garden, and we remember Maru lounging in his non-containing container.

On a peaceful summer day, Hana and Kitten Miri set up camp, with an extra tent for Uncle Maru. Just two cats, some snacks — and the noisiest insects on earth.
A peaceful morning is interrupted when Kitten Miri senses danger. Is it a thunderstorm? A volcano? An army of goblins? We’re not sure.
At such moments of vulnerability, there’s only one place to hide: Maru’s zero-sided, completely non-protecting box. Makes sense.
In this month’s look back, Maru multiplies in mirrors, ambushes a cat toy, gets crinkly with paper, and of course squeezes into a variety of small spaces.
Back in the present, Hana and Kitten Miri explore the garden, serenaded by a chorus of insects.
