Maru in the First Purrson

I always say, to keep your home super clean, feed your cat on a paper plate. Then you can just throw it in the trash!


The secret to inner peace is finding the upside to the downside. I will show you.


I found true happiness not in wealth and fame. I found it right here, on my “Yay!” paw pads. See?!


How did Maru type all that?! Images from the book, I Am Maru, by Mugumogu.

    Yay for Maru! After gazing at these for awhile, I can now get to work. (Okay. So maybe a few more minutes of gazing before getting back to the grind.)

    Does anyone else see a jointed teddy bear in Maru’s toe beans? I fear I have ingested too much Qte, and am hallucinating!
