Maru’s Swinging Skeleton

Who’s hanging around Maru’s living room this Halloween? A spooky scary skeleton! Although Hana and Kitten Miri are nervous, Maru ain’t afraid of no ghost — they’ll hang out together.

Having tired of the supernatural, Maru takes a walk in nature and visits his favorite flower.

Weekend Open Thread

It’s time for the Caturday open thread! Today’s visitor is sleeping off a dose of industrial-strength catnip, explains reader N. Fritz:

Here is Mutz (rhymes with “puts”) after his yearly teeth cleaning – at 17 years, that anesthesia really takes it out of the ol’ boi. He was so stoned when he came home, I was able to clip his nails!

white cat with black markings on face and torso lies on its back, looking somewhat crumpled.
I’ll get you for that, if I can remember it.

The second picture is of Mutz with his rock collection, most of which came from Lake Superior. He’d like to know other Cutetropolitans and their pets collect.

white cat with black markings on face sits in a windowsill next to a collection of rocks.
The stripey one is my favorite.
