Maru, an Indomitable Spirit Indeed

Before Maru’s passing, his human took him to his beloved backyard to enjoy the flower she calls “indomitable spirit.” It’s the perfect way to reflect on the joy and delight his spirit brought to people everywhere.

Maru the cat sits in his backyard under the shade of an umbrella resting on its side. He is looking at the ground.

    I hope he’s got all the indomitable spirit he wants at the bridge.

      Miri knows where Maru is, I guess.

      I absolutely love that she prepared a plate and a spot at the table for Maru, but seeing it empty next to Hana and Kitten Miri is unbearable.

      Maruโ€™s spirit will live on forever and I am so grateful for all the joy and laughter that big, fluffy weirdo has given me. โค๏ธ

        Right there with you. I could hardly bear to watch the video above. My heart is still crushed.

      I read what Mugumogu said about Miriโ€™s unusual behavior after the party, running out to the Cat Flower Bed. It seems reasonable that she did see some presence of Maru there. Iโ€™m glad she is at peace with him. More worried now about Hana.

    I also love that she got a balloon-print background and put the real balloons in the other room. Stars was also afraid of balloons (she once got a plastic grocery bag caught around her neck and was forever-after afraid of them; after my dad’s birthday one year there was a balloon tied to his chair and she wasn’t seen in the kitchen for three days before my mom figured out why. I think she thought the balloon was a floating bag).
