Cherry Blossom Maru

Spring is here and the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Maru honors the occasion by wearing his cherry-themed beer box girdle.

Continuing the theme, cherry blossoms make a perfect decoration for Hana’s 11th birthday party.

Weekend Open Thread

Happy Caturday, and welcome to the open thread. Today’s visitors, from reader Sowmya D., are quite catty:

Ekaterina Velikaya (L) and Nikolai Devinovich (R) interrupt their usual Winter Whap Fight to talk smack about the husky across the street. Dexter the Toy Dragon declines to participate in the gossip.

“Can you believe they wear leashes? I would just die.”

Missing Maru? Meow, Maybe

When Hana misses Maru, she howls with such longing that Maru is moved to respond immediat — oh, who am I kidding, he just lies there and makes her look for him.

But enough domestic drama, it’s time for Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri to get a manicure, which they endure with a Zen-like calm.

Sooooo relaxing, Andrew Y.

Weekend Open Thread

Open thread time! For today’s Caturday open thread, reader Georgiana Y. shares a photo of Storm in a box that’s a perfect fit — maybe too perfect. “Storm didn’t stay in the box for long,” she notes. “I think she was worried I’d mail her to Abu Dahbi.”
