Maru, everyone’s favorite boxaholic, turns nine years old May 24*, and his owner has created a retrospective on his fascinating life. From the time he was hatched from an oversized red blood cell, Maru has won hearts the world over. His life wasn’t always easy; he had, as you’ll see, a severe drinking problem. But it’s hard to deny that no cat has ever squeezed more out of life — by squeezingย into it.
Thanks to Andrew Y. and Julie H. *Which it already is in Japan.
And I’ll just get this out of the way early:
Surely you can’t be serious.
Yes I can. And don’t call me Shirley.
Could somebody please clue me in? I don’t get what Airplane! has to do with Maru.
Sorry if I was cryptic. I was referring to Maru’s “drinking problem,” which he exhibits in the video around the 1:20 mark.
not fair.. why you deprive us of making aeroplane puns?????
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit watching Maru videos
I do love Maru! Happy Birthday! ????
Hope you get your favorite – chicken for dinner >:3 <3 Maruuu <3
Happy birthday, your Royal Girthness!
Hear! Hear! And many happy returns!?
That was poetic. I love Maru. Happy Birthday!
Hippo Birdie to His Royal Roundness! And many happy returns!
Maru trying to climb into the cat shape scratch box was hilarious those plump little legs pumping madly.
For some reason, I thought that was a hippo, and I couldn’t stop laughing at the idea of a hippo eating Maru, and him struggling, trying ( for once) to get OUT of a container.
The funny part of that scene was that it would have been easier to enter from the other end. But try explaining that to Maru.
The image smacked of something from Hermonius Bosche’s imagination. ๐ What a big goofy goofball. ๐ (and cheers to other people’s drinking problems)
Yes, the ‘legs pumping in mid-air’ is my favorite part. And I thought that thing was supposed to be a mouse?
Many more birthdays to maru and Hannah
Oversized red blood cell. Lol.
I love Maru.
Happy Birthday Maru! I love you!
Happy birthday Maru! You are the most adorable and wonderfully weird cat on the planet. ?
Happy birthday, big guy! You and Hana and your mom make the world a brighter place.
Seriously, Maru as a penguin?!!!!
Happy birthday to His Royal Roundness, Ruler of Boxes and our hearts!!
Happy Birthday to the King of the interwebs!
@ 2:10- he reminds me of one of those clocks! ๐
Life would be much duller without His Thickness.
Just watched it again. God, I love that cat. His tail, his belly, his big fat round head . . .
He is such lovable goof! I wish him many more happy, healthy years, especially to amuse us.
Love Hannah’s expressions! It’s like half the time she’s thinking, “I don’t know this guy!”
He is such a delightfully awkward cat! <3 I imagine he brings a lot of laughter for mugumogu!
And how lucky are we that mugumogu shares him with all of us! (BTW, it looks like you’re new here, so welcome! It’s great to see new people.)
Maru’s birthday cake >:3 <3
