My favorite Maru vid is still the bag on the head as he casually strolls about the apartment.

If she could care less about her own cats why would she care about Maru.

I think it brings them back to when they were kittens and the first couple of weeks, that’s all they knew...Mom and the cardboard box

To me, the cutest part about Maru is the little black marking at his right nostril. It looks like he has a perpetual booger. ;o)

Nothing more sad and pathetic than a de-clawed cat.

I have three kittens (used to be four, will soon be two) who would rather play with the contents of the shoe box.

As for the changes in number of kittens referenced above, that’s because their new hoomins are taking delivery; the first one went to her new family yesterday.
