I Claim This in the Name of Maru

There’s a new cat feeder in Maru’s house that pays out kibble like a slot machine, and Maru stakes his claim to be the first to gobble those golden nuggets. But will Kitten Miri get her fair share?

But his royal greediness doesn’t always get what he wants. After his favorite beer box bursts open, he sulks on his swing.

Weekend Open Thread

Get comfy — it’s another cozy Caturday, and here to inspire us on our relaxation journey is Hamster, from reader Tracy R., who writes:

This is Hamster lying on his special pillow (it’s an orthopedic neck pillow, and he fits right in the area down the middle) and thinking … something, I dunno.

Desperate Empty Maru

Once more the wily box lures Maru with its siren call, only to make him its prisoner. Will Maru never learn?

While Kitten Miri perfects her beer box skills, Maru slips into something a little more — awkward.

Weekend Open Thread

Happy Caturday! Let’s start the weekend with a story from reader Hoosierina, another satisfied customer of the cat distribution system:

Within a month of retiring, this showed up in my backyard. Her name is Mrs. Jones, fully Mrs. Shed Jones as she was living behind it. Named so because it’s just me and now we got a thing going on (“thing” involves much finger gnawing and turbo scampering — her, not me).
