It’s the last Caturday before New Year’s Eve — but it looks like someone has gotten into the champagne a little early. Hope you have a happy new year in 2025!

Maru gets some early holiday presents: A bowl based on Devo’s famous flowerpot hat, which is so comfortable that Hana and Kitten Miri want their own; and a creepy toy that is noticeably less popular. Later, Maru tests a scientific hypothesis: Is a cat’s choice of beer box truly random or can it be controlled?
He’s such a great test subject, Andrew Y.
‘Twas the Caturday before Christmas, and this cat is ready to claim all the good loot. To everyone in Cutetropolis and the world, happy holidays.

Maru cordially invites you to an exhibition: Cat Heads: A Comparative Study, in which Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri display cat heads at various stages of puffiness. Udon will be served, once Maru finishes kneading the dough.
All the leaves are off the trees and raked into a pile, which makes it easier for Maru to find his favorite moss. Because of course Maru has a favorite moss.
Well, who doesn’t have a favorite moss, Andrew Y.?
