Bathtime for Maru

It’s time for Maru’s annual bath, that rare moment when we get to see how much of Maru is actual cat and how much is floof.

It’s another scorching hot day, and after a sweltering visit to the backyard, Maru’s ready to pour himself into a box.

In fact, Maru’s melting so much he’s actually getting smaller.

Keep cool, Andrew Y.

Maru’s Ribbeting Adventure

Maru puts on a magic bag and he and Hana stage their own version of The Princess and the Frog. How enchanting!

Time to play “How long can you hold this position?”

Ooh, that’ll leave a mark.
