Sofa So Good, Maru

Maru the cat lies on his back on a sofa with his back legs in the air.

When we last left Maru, he was sleeping in his favorite spot in the bathtub. But there’s a new sofa in the house, and Maru’s about to get a new favorite spot.

It’s raining, it’s pouring, old Maru is snoring — and Kitten Miri’s early warning system is on high alert for thunderstorms.

Hello everyone, I thought you would enjoy meeting the stray cats I feed. First here is one of the kittens, unfortunately it’s not great because it’s very skittish.

Then there is this tuxedo cat, I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.

And then there is this orange fellow who is definitely a boy, I saw the proof.
