Inspired by a video submitted by reader Alice Shortcake, we now explore a genre of YouTube videos in which cats lounge on model railroads and swat at passing trains. All aboard!

Monster Maru
It’s Setsubun, the Japanese holiday in which the ogres get chased out to welcome the arrival of spring. Maybe that’s why Hana and Kitten Miri aren’t too eager to wear the ogre wig. Maru, on the other hand…
Happy Setsubun, Andrew Y.

For today’s Caturday open thread, reader Tara O. is back with a follow-up on the mysterious Universal Cat Distribution System:
Since my email from December 8th, explaining my first delivery from the UCS, the grey kitty has returned. I’ve been calling him Smokey, and this past weekend he has finally decided he can trust me. This is the best photo I could take of him because he moves so much. In addition to the fabulous toe beans, please note the lovely ear tufties.
