When Maru was a little boy, he had a favorite feather toy.
But now that Hana’s got the thing, it has a bell for her to ring.
But Kitten Miri has the best of toys: A tent that lets her make lots of noise.
Maru and Hana and Miri

Hana Needs to Knead
Hana doesn’t just like to make biscuits with her cushion — she has a burning need to knead, which has Kitten Miri very concerned.
Thanks, Andrew Y., we needed that.
Settle Down, Hana
While Kitten Miri sleeps in her futon, Hana meows restlessly. But there’s no problem that can’t be fixed with some loving pets.
Well, there is one problem pets can’t fix: hairballs. For that, Hana and Miri need to take their medicine. Good luck with that.
