Maru the Japanese Cat
August 5, 2009
My boyfriend, my parents and my ex-housemates can all vouch for this: I am obsessed with cats.
Before I go off to bed every night, I must get my fix of I Can Has Cheezburger and Cute Overload. And whoever is unlucky enough to be around me then would be coerced into sharing joys of cuteness with me. But lately, no fix has been as cute quenching as Maru 丸 the Scottish Fold from Japan.
He’s such a joy to watch since he’s so curious. And from the way he moves, he seems to have some incredible analytical skills for a cat. Ah~ Maru-chan kawaii desu!
So for those who don’t already know about Maru, enjoy!
There’s more Maru goodness on his YouTube channel and his blog!

I have my LiveJournal friendslist to read on a daily basis (more like thrice basis). Does that count? XD
And the Maru cat is so cute! <3 Too bad I'm allergic to cats. X_X;;

That cat is absolutely adorableeeee! I just watched that whole video with a grin stuck on my face. Who knew watching a cat roll around could be so entertaining? haha
I think I’ll add that to the list of sites I check everyday.

I’m not a huge fan of cats but that’s a reaaally adorable one <3 My uncle's wife is a huge fan of cats and joins all these cat shows sometimes. Haha. She's addicted to Marie also.. that cat from Anastasia, I think? Not sure.
Anyway sorry for the delay in returning your comment, got preoccupied with a lot of schoolwork and my offline life basically. But i'm back now though!

Oh my goodness, I’ve seen him before!
He is so adorable. I just go and poke my cat when I have a sudden urge to pet something fluffy.
I wish she would do some of the things Maru does, though… She doesn’t even play with hanging things or cat whip type things…

@Hiro: Haha! My cat (now gone to cat heaven) wasn’t as playful either. She’d prefer to sit on the sofa top and do absolutely nothing. But she was still adorable. <3
@Gen: I love Chi’s Sweet Home! I used to follow the episodes religiously! For s0me reason, I didn’t find Chi’s New Address as interesting though. Not sure why. Thanks for the link!
