Maru gets some early holiday presents: A bowl based on Devo’s famous flowerpot hat, which is so comfortable that Hana and Kitten Miri want their own; and a creepy toy that is noticeably less popular. Later, Maru tests a scientific hypothesis: Is a cat’s choice of beer box truly random or can it be controlled?

He’s such a great test subject, Andrew Y.

Maru cordially invites you to an exhibition: Cat Heads: A Comparative Study, in which Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri display cat heads at various stages of puffiness. Udon will be served, once Maru finishes kneading the dough.

All the leaves are off the trees and raked into a pile, which makes it easier for Maru to find his favorite moss. Because of course Maru has a favorite moss.

Well, who doesn’t have a favorite moss, Andrew Y.?

After a visit to the garden, all that Hana wants to do is to take a nap on the softest, fluffiest pillow in the house: her best friend Maru.

Maru’s head may be soft, but his indomitable spirit is unbreakable. If he wants to sit in a wobbly bowl, he… will… sit… in… the… wobbly… bowl.

There’s a big drip in Maru’s house, so a plumber comes to fix the leak. While Hana and Kitten Miri flee to safety, Maru steps up to make sure the work is up to code. After a job well watched, it’s off to the backyard to enjoy the new and improved outdoor swing.
