Maru is the best cat ever. He's fat, but he doesn't think he is. Also, his possibly unhealthy love of cardboard boxes is wonderful. The best Maru video, in my opinion, is this one...where he tries to fit into boxes that read "Diet".

That is my favorite one too. When he finally has the one box stuck around his midsection I was expecting him to freak out, instead he tries to get in the other one too.

[–]samisbond 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wasn't this study only done on a select number of articles, meaning the exponential information quantity can't really factor in?

Not that I've ever seen an incorrect fact on Wikipedia...the closest I've ever gotten was a line of vandalism within an article, which was gone before I couldn't remove it. I don't know where this gag about widespread misinformation on Wikipedia got started.

Camouflage. They'll pick out the most unlikely spot just so they don't sit in the middle of something that gives a high contrast for someone watching.

[–]surfnaked 2 points3 points ago

I have a cat who is brilliantly stark black and white and that little guy can vanish in plain sight outside. If he doesn't want you to see him; you can't. Amazing.

Cats have the power of invisibility to go with their mastery of gravity.

[–]Felix_Austria_nube 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

One of my cats could do the same (all my other cats usually want to be seen to get petted). The worst part was that he WATCHED you looking for him, calling his name. Only if you'd look directly at him, wherever he was hiding that time, he'd get up, meow and walk over. Bastard. I miss him.

[–]surfnaked 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yup. 'Zactly like that. I think he thinks it's funny. "Dumb humans."

Sorry to hear yours is gone.

[–]Felix_Austria_nube 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He also ratted out my other cat of that time if she jumped onto kitchen cupboards, where she wasn't allowed. He'd sit on the floor, look up to her and meow loudly until someone would come and check what's up. :D

Thank ya, part of life.

[–]surfnaked 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah it is a part of life, but still I wish their cycle wasn't so short compared to ours. Seems like I've been through twenty generations of cats in my life and loved 'em all.The little critters. Dogs too. Oh well.

I imagine they get some sadistic pleasure from getting in your way. In the same way that when I leave my clean washing out for too long, she will sleep on it, rendering the washing machine pointless.

[–]doctechnical 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think cats like to sit in boxes and bags (cats love paper bags!) because they believe it gives them some concealment... my theory is based upon many cats suddenly jumping out of their hiding place to pounce on something. Like me, or another cat, or a dust mote, or their imaginary friend.

Unfortunately the concealment choices aren't all that well thought out. Such as in this case where we can clearly see the cat through the container. Or one of my cats who will "hide", head ducked down, in an open box but with his tail straight up like a flag pole.

Not working, kitty.

He is adorable, but I wonder if he's ever been outside. Japanese, lives in an apartment block. He has probably never been scared, hence his playful, relaxed, fearless attitude and plumpy physique.

Perhaps he is a foretaste to how we will evolve, similar to the humans stuck on the space ship in Wall-E?

It could just be his weight. My cat is obese and has trouble climbing. I never paid attention to his claws, but I think in a few videos of him playing he claws at feather toys, so I'm pretty sure he still has his claws.

[–]SuspiciousOfEveryone 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ah, I can see that. Plus maybe if he's not used to climbing like that, maybe he just doesn't know how. I have a cat that's a little on the heavy side and she seems to be really hesitant when she jumps onto higher surfaces.

[–]konekoanni 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He goes outside...on a leash, sometimes with a little rain jacket. It's damn cute. My best friend's cat is the same way--she goes outside on a leash and harness, and has a dog jacket for cold days. It's completely ridiculous, but so cute I can't help being okay with it.

[–]4amchocolatepudding 1 point2 points ago

There are videos of him going outside eating grass and climbing on stuff. He didn't seem to mind it.

Don't outdoor cats live shorter lives than indoor cats? Yes, you give up some things by living indoors only, but the same analogy could be applied to humans. Some people in the first world never adventure out of living a comfortable existence. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

I envisioned the collaborative M. Night Shyamalan and Michael Bay version of this: Once Maru finds his way into the can, he is ambushed inside by Moire, the ninja cat.

So I guess Maru is the feline equivalent of Boo? I guess the difference is Maru actually does stuff while Boo just kinda sits around being cute.

Gotta go now. Need to YouTube Maru.

I've always thought cats like to cramp themselves like this to enjoy the fuzzy comfort of their own fur.

SERVING SUGGESTION: I was listening to Beethoven's 9th symphony in the background because of that TIL thread and I have to say, it's wonderful companion music to this gif.

What kind of cat is this? I've never seen a short hair with such a fluffy tail!

I remember one party where I introduced everyone to Maru videos on YouTube. A room full of 40 somethings literally sat and stared at the TV for over an hour without saying a word. If I had told them, "You are all going to sit and watch videos of a cat." they would have laughed. Well, who's laughing now, fuckers? Who's laughing now!
