Maru has elevated the concept of comfortable confinement to an art form, so it’s only fitting that he should become an actual work of art, suitable for display on pianos, end tables, or any area in the home that needs a little something. He’s a perfect conversation piece, as long as you enjoy conversations that begin “is that cat dead?” or “why does its cheek stick out like that?”
Why does it stick out like that, Andrew Y.?
This should be in a mewseum. The Purrdo (in Meowdrid, Spain), perhaps?
Also, I don’t think you’re supposed to lick the artwork, Hana.
I want to squeeze his cheek, gently of course >:3 <3
By the way, the semi-liquid nature of cats is clearly the reason his cheek starts to pour out of the hole. It’s simple physics.
Hana seems concerned with the cheek protrusion and, frankly, Iām with her.
(1) I don’t remember seeing the spinet piano before. (2) Hana is amazingly respectful of the decorative objects placed around Maru. In the last setup, an object was moved to make room for Hana, but in the others, Hana worked around them with no sign of the “I’ll knock this off to make sure gravity is still working” attitude common among cats. I was still concerned what would happen when Maru got out of the box, or if he even shifted within the box and made it move sideways. I wonder if there are outtakes for this. Maybe pillows were placed on the floor to catch displaced decorations.
