Maru and Hana and Miri

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

Snappy Cap, Maru

Maru the cat wears a red cap in his backyard.

It’s a sunny day in Maru’s backyard, so he puts on a jaunty little visor and heads out for a snack.

Sofa So Good, Maru

Not That Mike The Other Mike7 Comments
Maru the cat lies on his back on a sofa with his back legs in the air.

When we last left Maru, he was sleeping in his favorite spot in the bathtub. But there’s a new sofa in the house, and Maru’s about to get a new favorite spot.

It’s raining, it’s pouring, old Maru is snoring — and Kitten Miri’s early warning system is on high alert for thunderstorms.

First of all, can we talk about how vocal Kitten Miri gets when she wants to go out? Meanwhile, Uncle Maru retreats into the cool porcelain bathtub.

New Sofa, Same Old Maru

Something old and creaky is being replaced in Maru’s house, but don’t be alarmed — it’s not Maru, just his favorite sofa. But will Maru adapt to the change?
