More Maru Memories

This month’s Maru video takes us back to 2010, in which Maru wears his version of the happy hoodie, plays Mr. Tambourine Man, covets a sink strainer, cleans the bathroom, and of course climbs into box after box.

Welcome to Caturday! Cutetropolis reader Sowmya D. brings us two kitties who are decidedly decaffeinated.

Scoreboard says Cats 1 / Coffee 0. Nikolai Devinovich (twisted in his Jameson box) and Ekaterina Velikaya (curled up in an aesthetically pleasing pose) are winning Saturdays.

Two cats with fluffy orange fur lie on a beige carpet. One of the cats is half inside an empty box under a table with the word "Jameson" printed on it, while the other is curled up next to the table. There is an empty mug between them.
And the best way to win is not to play.

(This looks like a good spot for a nap. The carpet is soft, there’s a cool breeze, crazy dog circling around me wrasslin’ a kitten… It’s perfect.)
