Maru, King of Swing
The swing in Maru’s living room isn’t just for fun. It also gives him the perfect viewing spot to supervise his human servant cleaning his carpet.

Maru Gets Clipped
As we join Maru today, he and Hana are perplexed by undercover Kitten Miri, despite the sign pointing to her. But then it’s nail clipping time, which sends Maru into such a Zen state that he isn’t perplexed by anything.

Mmm, Steamed Maru
Maru truly lives a life of luxury. After a day in the snow, he warms up with a steamed towel. But the big revelation here is that Maru’s microwave plays music. Mine just beeps.
Maru boards his trusty elephant for a trip through the jungle, accompanied by his best friend World Cow. He may be gone awhile.
