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.

Happy Halloween, boys and ghouls! Help yourself to a handful from my haunted bowl of treats! I’ve got candy corn, Necco wafers, some menthol cough drops, a couple of cigarette butts — and these mind-bending links of cuteness to render you helpless with delight! BWAH-hah-hah!

Maru’s Swinging Skeleton

Not That Mike The Other Mike3 Comments

Who’s hanging around Maru’s living room this Halloween? A spooky scary skeleton! Although Hana and Kitten Miri are nervous, Maru ain’t afraid of no ghost — they’ll hang out together.

Having tired of the supernatural, Maru takes a walk in nature and visits his favorite flower.

Maru Tiptoes Through the Tulips

Maru and Hana dine on weeds, Kitten Miri wants you to draw her like one of your French girls, and then everyone has to wade through a hallway full of crinkly carnations. So just a normal morning, then.

It’s the start of cuddle season, and Maru and Hana graciously share a bed. Well, graciously-ish.

I Claim This in the Name of Maru

Not That Mike The Other Mike3 Comments

There’s a new cat feeder in Maru’s house that pays out kibble like a slot machine, and Maru stakes his claim to be the first to gobble those golden nuggets. But will Kitten Miri get her fair share?

But his royal greediness doesn’t always get what he wants. After his favorite beer box bursts open, he sulks on his swing.
