The Wisdom of Maru

Not That Mike The Other Mike3 Comments

In his life Maru set a bright example, and his wisdom lives on in his disciples Hana and Kitten Miri: Fear the toothbrush but not the clipper, and always get in the box.

Maru the cat lies on his back on his owner's lap having his nails trimmed. A caption reads "But if you get caught, you should give up."

Happy Caturday, and welcome to the open thread. Today reader Tara O. shares her beloved Butch taking a colorful catnap:

My new mattress arrived on Sunday afternoon. I had just finished putting the sheets on when Butch decided to take the new mattress for a test drive. He absolutely approves.

A cat with black fur sits on a bedspread with colors of yellow, orange and red. A stack of folded bed sheets is at the foot of the bed
She put a pea under this mattress, I can tell.
A cat with black fur curls up on a bedspread with colors of yellow, orange and red.
But it’s all good.

Due to ongoing performance problems with the web hosting provider, there won’t be any new post today, and I’ll be cutting down on posting until conditions improve. There will still be a Weekend Open Thread tomorrow, but there may be difficulties in leaving comments. I apologize for the inconvenience and frustration this is causing and which I completely share with you.
