まるです。

お風呂場で遊んでいますよ。
I am playing in the bathroom.

this is so great. the life of maru. he loves boxes. and sitting in the bath. best of course for people who are 100% cat people. but the commentary by the blogger is so very wonderful, i think this can get everyone in. it is also maybe a nice way to practice japanese - the comments are written in japanese, then translated delightfully into english. can be a nice way to learn idiomatic expressions or practice reading kanji and things...

i found maru via
sheepnest.

update: a big thanks to kate from love you big, this is a very hilarious clip of maru dealing with a big box.
update #2: and hiki's favourite is also brilliant. too good to be true.


一番小さな箱に入っていますよ。
I am in the smallest box!

お味はいかがですか?
Hey Maru! How about the taste?

紐に逃げられましたよ。
I miss it!

セクシーポーズで猫草を食べてますよ。
I eat cat grass with a cool pose.

穴からこんにちは。

  3. Oh it's too cute, goes straight to the heart.

    (If only they wouldn't use our garden as a public - well - and chase the baby birds...)

    Nature at work and yet cats (and this one especially) are darling!

  4. hi jo! i know, it is a double-edged sword the cat love...my linen press is all belled up with a double bell on his collar to try and prevent the chasing of the birds...there is a push in melbourne for all cats to be kept indoors of a night which is also a good thing perhaps. but, oh, they are so cute:)

  7. Cat pics and videos always suck me in big time. Have you seen some of the funny Japanese cat vids on youtube? They crack me up they're so good. Oh wait, I think it might be the very same Maru-kun.
