Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri know the right way to start a new year — a luxurious brushing. Then it’s off for some swing time before a special New Year’s Day treat.
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.
New Year, Same Maru
To usher in the New Year, Maru gets a brand new pillow that he can knead until it’s a dishrag. Meanwhile, Kitten Miri plays a spirited game of cat and mouse. Happy New Year, Maru!
Happy Maru Year!
The kagami-mochi is a traditional Japanese decoration to bring good luck for the coming year. It’s definitely good luck for Maru, because it gives him an empty box to play in before he assumes his traditional role as the holiday centerpiece.
A Very Maru Christmas
This Christmas, Maru gets a visit from a Santa Claus powered by artificial intelligence, which means that it runs hopelessly in circles wasting electricity until a human bails it out. Maru, Hana and Kitten Miri give the jolly old bot a chilly reception, until they see what he brought them.
Merry Christmas to Andrew Y. and all of Cutetropolis.
