Maru Puts the “Ooze” in “Snooze”

People like to say that cats are liquid, but in scientific fact cats are made of a viscous material that becomes more fluid as the cat relaxes. It is in such a state that we find Maru, who liquefies lazily, confident the box will hold him. Sadly, it does not, creating a severe Maru spill. They just don’t make boxes like they used to.

Later, Maru observes Kitten Miri puzzled about a clear bowl, so Maru decides to teach her how to squeeze into one. Alas, the young one finds Maru’s example too “dynamic” which marks the first time the words “Maru” and “dynamic” have ever appeared together.

But this awkwardness is soon forgotten, because it is time for the Star Festival, when wishes are hung from the bamboo tree. Soon the tree is decorated with lofty wishes such as “Peace” but Maru, watching the festivities from his favorite swing, just wishes someone would give him a push.

      I was going to remark on that too Duckie!! A non-hazardous, but still severe, spill!!

      Hope you are feeling well Duckie.

    So much to love about all 3 videos. 😻

    But, my favorite has to be Maru, laying on the swing, just chillin’ and gently swaying. (And, seriously who, but Mugu, would put a swing in their living room for their cat?? And, what cat but Maru would actually use it??)

    Whenever I need a good laugh, I re-watch the video of Maru learning to get on the swing for the first time (while simultaneously mastering the cha-cha dance). Makes me howl every time.

    Love their wishes. Mostly food. Not surprising.

    I love Maru flat on his stomach on the swing with his legs dangling. Sigh. Soul Satisfaction.

    If Maru were lava, he’d be the slowly oozing pahoehoe type.

    Mugumogu has created such a sanctuary of peace, love, and contentment in her house. It always makes me happy to visit her gorgeous cat-enrichment playland.

    Especially when Miri is so playful, Hana so boxed in, and Maru such a swinger!
