Maru and Hana’s Floor Show

Not That Mike The Other Mike

And now, as we await the arrival of 2017, we bring you Mugumogo and her amazing cats Maru and Hana to entertain you with their box-jumping skills. (For bonus fun, start the music track first.)

    How do we not hear giggling from off camera all the time?

      Don’t worry, Allein, I provided all the giggling that was required.
      And more.
      ????????

      I’ve never seen a cat knead with a hind paw too. Maru is truly exceptional

    Hana is very good but Maru is still the champion at box jumping! And thanks for the soundtrack Mike, that made it even better!

    Mike, the suggestion about the soundtrack was sublime–it was as though the cats could hear the music and coordinated their leaps.

    Andrew, thanks for the Instagram linky! Wish my cats would help me knead dough. They just sleep.

      I pressed play on the music, waited about a second, then started the video and it was absolutely perfect.

        Exactly! Brrrrrrrrrilliant!

    The sound track was perfect. I do think The Circle’s circliness may be costing him a step sometimes in the box jumping. The use of two boxes adds a whole new level of complexity and hilarity. Are we looking at the beginnings of an Olympic sport? I think the addition of a third box would clinch it.

    Was anyone else just a wee bit disappointed that they didn’t end up in the same box?

      You have to believe it happened at some point… that just happened to be when the camera wasn’t running.

    I’m especially impressed by M’s box-to-box jumps…even when he doesn’t quite stick the landing!

    • debg January 1, 2017 / 10:26 am

      Yeah, the tumbling-over boxes totally cracked me up.

      • Smartypants January 1, 2017 / 4:14 pm

        …and then Hana checking on him – “Chief, you OK in there?” 😀

    These shenanigans appear to have resulted in my new favorite Hana picture:

      What a great shot! I’m imagining her doing a kitty yoga headstand in there.
