Stop and Smell the Roses, Maru

Maru the cat is being held in someone's arms, looking into the distance. Behind him is a tall bush with white flowers.

When Maru isn’t squeezing himself into boxes and bowls for our amusement, you can find him inspecting his fragrant garden. Then it’s back to squeezing. (via Andrew Y.)

Weekend Open Thread

Yay, it’s Caturday! Today’s visitor is Jacques, displaying typical cat behavior and giving reader Tara O. the chance to make the best joke ever:

Attached is Jacques-in-a-box. I was cleaning up my jewelry and ran out of places to put boxes. Once they were on the bed they were fair game.

Cat sits among an array of small jewelry boxes spread out on the bed. The cat is trying to put its paws in one of the boxes.
I can fit, I swear!

And Jacques would also like to remind everyone to stay hydrated in the heat. Especially if mommy’s bedside water is available. Much better than cat bowl water.

Hey, you know what would be fun? Spending a few minutes with this extended family of Maine Coon kittens, including one who’s a bit of a grouch.
