Ill-suited For the Job

The first time my parents took me to Kittyworld, I got a hug from Missy Kitty herself. I melted in her furry embrace, and she became the world to me. So naturally, when I was old enough, I auditioned for a chance to put on the suit.

And it was a nightmare. Screaming kids, pushy parents, and the suit smells like everyone else who wore it. I tried to hug a kid, he kicked me in the knee. Some people say you should never meet your heroes. I say, never be them.

Maru Shreds the Sled

Maru excels at activities where gravity is an ally, and today he takes to the slopes for some sledding. Meanwhile, Hana meets Mr. Snowman and Kitten Miri practices her bird calls.

Alas, Mr. Snowman is melting, spring is on its way — so it’s a strange time for Hana to give Maru the cold shoulder. But things thaw out quickly.
