Maru and the Snow Kitten

Little Miri is getting big enough to go outside with Uncle Maru and Aunt Hana, but first she’s got to learn to wear a harness.

With that out of the way, it’s time to head out into the backyard and enjoy the last of the snow before spring.

Bonus Miri: Uncle Maru’s tail becomes the perfect kitten toy!

    “Miri rampaged.” πŸ˜‚

    She’s so freakin’ cute.

      PS I love the Miri theme music.

      Comment on the first video: “In the harness, Maru looks like he has an interview for a job he doesn’t want but, dang, he needs the catnip money.” πŸ˜‚

        I saw that comment too! Absolutely, true. πŸ˜‚

        And, yes, Miri is way too adorable.

      Get it off me! Get it off me!

      Cutest rampage ever.

    I LOVE Miri! She wants to get the harness off but she can be distracted by a toy. Her tentativeness in the yard, on the snow, on the ladder, and on the platform is so sweet and touching.

      Addendum: Maru is so patient with kittens!

        My cousin tried to train her kitten to wear a harness. Every time she put it on him he just fell over and played dead until she gave up.

          Reminds me of this…

      In my dreams. 😻

      As a side note, can we keep calling Kitten Miri “Kitten Miri” even when she’s no longer (sniff sniff) a kitten?

        Ditto!

      • Georgiana March 13, 2021 / 6:44 pm

        I vote YES!

      • Jerzowa March 14, 2021 / 2:48 pm

        Definitely!

    • Debg March 13, 2021 / 3:12 pm

      Same here.

    I usually don’t have time to watch the Maru videos but these were so stinking cute!!! And our baby Miri is tarting to look so grown up, sniff sniff.

    What were those sounds Miri made when she was on the tree platform by herself?

    (I love all kittens, but only some cats.)

    Miri says: β€œ That thing messed up my tummy hair, and now I have to fix it all over again! And it hurt my armpits too! β€œ
