Kitten Miri’s hiding place has been invaded by … something. She doesn’t know what it is, but it must be whapped. Later, we look back at Maru and his topsy-turvy life.

Japan’s least claustrophobic cat, Maru devotes his life to squeezing into any box, while his partner Hana puts up with this silliness.

Maru loved to sway back and forth on his indoor swing, and now Kitten Miri gets into the swing of things too. Later, she and Hana visit the garden, and we remember Maru lounging in his non-containing container.

On a peaceful summer day, Hana and Kitten Miri set up camp, with an extra tent for Uncle Maru. Just two cats, some snacks — and the noisiest insects on earth.

A peaceful morning is interrupted when Kitten Miri senses danger. Is it a thunderstorm? A volcano? An army of goblins? We’re not sure.

At such moments of vulnerability, there’s only one place to hide: Maru’s zero-sided, completely non-protecting box. Makes sense.
