Because it wouldn’t be Caturday without Maru, here’s a long look back at The Round One in his early years, with classic Maru moments and a few you may not have seen before.
Remembering Maru
Caturday
Weekend Open Thread
For today’s open thread, reader Georgiana Y. shares a big breakthrough moment with her cat Stormy:
Well it only took three years but my Stormy finally snuggled with me of her own accord! Don’t misunderstand, I can pick her up and she never struggles but you can feel she doesn’t really like it. What she does love for some reason is sitting at my feet while I pet her head and scratch the bridge of her nose. It’s the first time that she jumped on my lap by herself to cuddled, I’m a happy cat mama!
Playtime with Hana and Miri
It’s good to see Hana and Kitten Miri adjusting well to life without Maru. They each like to play in their own way.
