We’re used to seeing Maru and Hana as adult cats, but Hana was once a rambunctious kitten, keeping the older Maru on his toes. As part of mugumogu’s massive Marupalooza video flood, here are some new videos of the old days. Thanks to Diane B. and Andrew Y.
Hana was such a precious little grasshopper. And, Maru was so gentle with her. Their size differences then were ginormous!
I love little Hana sitting so ladylike with her tail wrapped around her paws.
Awww, just want to pick up little Hana and snuggle her until she gets annoyed and wants down.
Watching these videos, especially the last one of the shelves, I wondered something I had not before. How did Mugumogu not break up laughing while she was watching them? We can hear all their subtle paw sounds; if she was snorting suppressed guffaws behind the camera, seems we’d hear that too. Maru seems so dignified and aloof and staid and confused (though we know he’s a total goofball) and Hana is so prototypically kittenish. I’D have been laughing and I don’t even particularly like cats.
There’s also the one of little Hana sneaking up on Maru while he’s drinking water >:3
The one with the shelves – she’s a mischievous little squiggle, isn’t she! 😀
Hana chasing her own tail had me giggling, and then when she went for Big Brother’s tail, a guffaw escaped me. It seems obvious that Maru needed a baby sister.
