Maru does not express joy. Adrift in ennui, the famous Internet celebrity spends hours contemplating the futility of his existence. Not even the gentle caress of a loving hand can stir his spirit from its endless torpor. He’s like really emo and stuff.
Thanks for the angst, Andrew Y.
I like this reply >:3
“Maru cannot express joy because Maru IS joy. One does not expect a smile to smile. That would confuse and negate the smile. Let the smile be. Let Maru be.”
Lovely. 🙂
Maru is the ultimate Zen master. ?
I need a constant loop of zen Maru in the corner of my computer screen.
I like that Mogu Migo ( I can’t remember her name!) wasn’t summoned, but she went ahead anyway and started stroking Maru. Not show joy? Did you SEE that face at the end and the happily twitching tail!!!!?
Love his pouty emo face! Actually I think he was just sleepy and as perfectly relaxed as only a cat can get. And it’s hilarious that mugomogu mentioned that he didn’t call her, but she visited anyway–implies that normally she doesn’t pet him unless he asks!
I’m now having visions of Maru in his cluttered cat-size bedroom, listening to Morrissey and writing bad poetry.
“Adrift in ennui”. My new favourite phrase.
I’m LOLing at how his perch is sagging precariously. There’s no containing The Circle!
