One dozen to go please :3

I love the way he oh so patiently works out how to wedge himself into too small containers.
You would swear cats were boneless the way that can squeeze themselves into tight places.
But then Maru usually tries to get in something too small for him. ?
If Maru fits (sort of), he sits!
Why are smooshed fuzz and toebeans so adorable???? Ok, now I must go snuggle my cats forcibly. 😀
On Maru’s website, the caption is “The inside is complicated.” Indeed!
He somehow manages to convince us he’s comfortable – hmmmmm, I wonder. I did love his nose coming out to sniff the camera. AND, speaking of the camera, how do they keep it so steady???
Yes – the giant, super-close-up chin at the top of the shot is priceless! And then I thought the video froze, but it was just Maru’s deliberate pace…
“We’re gonna need a bigger bowl!”
Maru: No, this is fine, really.
Talk about your muffin tops…!
At least this kind is cute. 😉
Yes!
Do you have a thing (negative that is!) about “muffin tops” too?? I wasn’t fond of that look at all!!
I see people at work wearing too-small clothes and wonder if they looked in the mirror before leaving the house. I also often think, “that can’t be comfortable…”
At my age I look at young people and think, “they have no clothes on”. But in 1968 I dressed that way too.
Funny about wearing too-small clothes – it has the opposite effect that what’s intended – they look like they’ve gained weight and grew out of their clothes. I’ve been noticing the trend in men’s suits – they look like they’re wearing their little brother’s suit. The coats are so short that the tie hangs out below.
I hate that ankle-length pants and no socks look. Nick Cannon did that on America’s Got Talent all last season and it looks so weird.
Some people (eg me) gain all weight in a spare tire around their middle such that they have muffin top even when not wearing clothes. Thus pants fitting and muffin top aren’t mutually exclusive. Only solution is losing weight. My approach was cutting a liter off my weekly rum allotment.
I used to show Maru videos at the beginning of my college history courses–good way to get everybody laughing, and then we could focus on the class. Maru’s “Very small boxes video” was a surefire winner, especially when he packed himself into that magazine file box. One semester, I had a deaf student who had signers, and that was when I learned that the ASL sign for “muffin top” was just what you’d expect: two hands at the waist jiggling the weight of an overflowing belly.
Oh DebG that is so interesting (and so funny) about the ASL for muffin top!
I have a craving for fresh baked popovers now. Or a trifle.
I love how Maru’s girth gradually found more of its way into the bowl. Two sets of exposed, smeared toe beans were strange and cute at the same time.
I wonder why Maru keeps switching his tail.
Is he perpetually peeved? Does he, like so many
celebrities, resent the omnipresent camera? What?!?
I think the way he’s twitching his tail is a sign of contentment – when they swish it like they’re chopping the air is when I think they’re pissed.
I’m of the school of thought that Maru’s tail has a mind of its own.
Yes me too. I think because the rest of him remains so supremely aloof all expression
is released through the tail!
My cat often “wags” her tail in happiness too – and you can’t mistake it for the air whipping when she’s peeved! Meeeooow!
Nice to have the clear bowl so we can see what kind of space-time folding goes on when Maru does his thing.
And I can’t believe it took so long for me to notice, but one of his back socks is longer than the others!
