Shouldn't have jumped into that box!

Speaking of, I wonder what Maru is up to these days...

They are doing good! They just had their 17th birthday!

Best internet cat.

OMG, Thank you!

Poor kitty!

I can only imagine the inspiration the cat gave Pixar…

(Fun fact, Toothless in how to train your dragon, his movements were based on one of the animator’s cats. The scene where he got his prosthetic tail, the animator recorded his cat after putting some tape on the cat’s tail.)
