Does Maru like beer boxes? Bud of Coors he does! He’ll Busch himself in just to Pabst the time without a Kirin the world. Plus, it hides that Fat Tire around his belly. His head can fit through, but we’re not sure his Heineken.
Meanwhile Hana (who’s still a Yuengling) prefers to Miller ’round outside the box.

OMG, the beer puns! Haha. Mike, you out-did yourself!
Nothin’ cuter than Maru relaxing in a cozy box! And, lovely vocal Hana just doesn’t get it. 😻
Didn’t he just. Mike, I’ll bet you were pretty chuffed with yourself after this outpouring – and well deservedly.
Maru and a box are the perfect pair >:3 <3
That last line may have inspired a poem…
Mike, I just don’t know how you come up with such clever tales and observations. I have to visit your web site, periodically during the day this very reason. Here’s to you 🍻
Hana appreciates boxes only once in a Blue Moon. 😁
It took me a good 10 minutes to come up with even one pun. Nicely done, Mike!!
Nice!
In the first video Maru is like a Romantic Hero struggling Alone to conquer the Mountain, er beer box. How does he get himself through? And of course, why? Never mind, He Struggles On, Alone, To Conquer (the beer box).
Need Morgan Freeman to narrate, documentary style XD
(or David Attenborough of course XD but I think quirky would be more fitting)
It definitely deserves narration.
NTMTOM (or have we stopped calling you that? — I was away a while and may have missed an announcement), you have surpassed yourself with the description. And you saved the best for last — heinie can, indeed.
And I DID wonder if his heinie could. The first time he got a box around his waist, I wondered how long she’d let him waddle around in misery before she helped him get it off — and then he did it by himself. I couldn’t tell HOW he did it — one second he looked stuck, the next it was sliding off. It’s like he willed it off.
Then later she DID take one off him (were the clips out of order; did she not yet know he could do it himself?) and he immediately got back in the situation she’d just helped him out of. “Did I look like I wanted help, staff person?”
I think she’s established that boxes are not a learned behavior, because Hana’s had plenty of chances to learn it, and for her it’s a solid no.
Hana has gotten so big (and looks like she’s nursing, though I’m sure she’s not) that sometimes I find the easiest way to tell them apart is their tails. Fat tail, thin tail, that doesn’t change. I guess Maru is more gray, Hana more brown, but color rendition being what it is, that’s not reliable.
Back when I could have one, I was a Yuengling, too, being
a loyal Pennsyltuckian. Miss the occasional one with a nice
bowl of chili at the Farmhouse Tavern local. But the meds
won’t let me. These cats are so delightful, I wish I could
snorgle them, if they’d let me! *sigh*
Maru and his 6-pack abs! 😀
