A quiet cold day keeps the cats indoors, which gives us a great opportunity to enjoy Maru’s fluffy paws. Later, it’s time to open the holiday mochi so that Maru can sit in the box.

Nice Buns, Maru
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.
Maru Year’s Day
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.
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.
