Monster Maru

After a night binge-watching Godzilla movies, Maru is inspired to pursue a career as a rampaging giant monster. And what do rampaging giant monsters like to do? Knock down tall buildings! And so Maruzilla sets out to practice his demolition skills on a large stack of boxes. Well, this seems easy, he thinks, but little does he know that the real buildings are built so they don’t slide apart.

He’s a natural, Andrew Y.

    I’d let Maruzilla rampage in my living room any day.

    Can Hana be Mothra?

    Hanthra?

    Maru’s chubby butt makes me so happy. My own chubby butt, not so much.

    Hana’s cameos: “I just don’t understand you, brother.”

      I like his paws when he’s standing up like in the video preview XD <3

    How many cardboard boxes are there in Maru’s house? I must confess to being a box hoarder.

    Alice: Ooh, this is a nice sturdy box. It might come in handy one day.

    Voice of Reason: For pete’s sake, you don’t need any more cardboard boxes. Just recycle the damn thing.

    Alice: But it’s so sturdy! Think of all the stuff you could fit in it! (She taps the box to demonstrate its sturdiness and stuff-containing potential)

    Voice of Reason: You don’t need any encouragement to collect more stuff. This is getting out of hand.

    Alice: Yes, you’re right. I know you’re right. But…it’s such a nice sturdy box.

    (Alice sighs regretfully, waits for the Voice of Reason to fade away, then puts the box on top of the wardrobe with the other boxes)

      I sympathize. VoR is such a killjoy. I keep the boxes things came in – stereo components, appliances — so I can put them back in the box when I give them away. My closet shelves are full of them. As for shipping boxes, I live in a one-bedroom apartment — they pile up between the dining table and the wall (next to the bags of paper being collected to recycle) until they become so unsightly I give in and recycle all but one of them — in case I need it for something.

      I wonder if mugumogu asks all her neighbors or co-workers to give her their spare boxes. One person can’t order that much from Amazon. Can she?

      Has Maru ever grasped (pun semi-intended) the concept of OPENING a box — pulling up on the flap with his paw? He’ll stick his NOSE under a flap once in a while. But when it comes to paws, he thinks all doors push to open.

      Cats love high places; he looks so pleased with himself when he finally manages to sit in the third box in the pile, having displaced only one.

        One person CAN order so much from Amazon, Murkle. Speaking from experience here.

          Murkle? I have a nickname now?
