Stop and Smell the Roses, Maru

Maru the cat is being held in someone's arms, looking into the distance. Behind him is a tall bush with white flowers.

When Maru isn’t squeezing himself into boxes and bowls for our amusement, you can find him inspecting his fragrant garden. Then it’s back to squeezing. (via Andrew Y.)

Maru Goes Green

Maru the cat smells a flower being held up to his nose.

The trees glow green from the light of a summer day, and Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri step out to soak in the splendor.

Later it begins to rain, but that won’t stop Maru from grazing his favorite greens.
