Maru is the best xD

[–]IronOhki 125 points126 points ago

Maru wins at cat.

[–]sgtpppr 49 points50 points ago

I'm not a fan of cat pics/vids unless they involve Maru. Accept no substitutes.

[–]dreamleaking 10 points11 points ago

What about Pokke?

[–]space_monster 9 points10 points ago

my cat drinks like that, even out of his bowl. I left a glass of water on my bedside table last friday & he smashed it at about 4am on saturday morning. I was too sleepy to be angry with the little bastard.

it's also too cold for him outside the duvet at night, but too hot inside the duvet, so he switches about every 40 minutes. this involves me letting him into the bed when he's too cold, & letting him out again when he gets hot. if I'm asleep he snuffles at my face until I wake up & do whatever it is he wants me to do. these days I can do it without properly waking up, so I don't really lose any sleep. I'm sure there's a better solution for him (thermostat controlled heated cat igloo?) but I haven't thought of one yet.

[–]QuickPhix 0 points1 point ago

Prop up a corner of the sheets so he can get in without waking you up?

[–]space_monster 11 points12 points ago

wouldn't work. he has to get in at the top so he can lie with his back next to me & rest his little chin on my arm. then he has to purr like a fucking 1000W generator for 30 minutes. that's just the way it is. I think I'm doomed to being at the whim of a cat for the foreseeable future.

[–]GrumpySteen 11 points12 points ago

You are very well trained.

Maru is pure cat.

If Maru was an ice cream flavor, he'd be catolate.

[–]doubleas21380 0 points1 point ago

Although I have no idea what the letters 'x' and capitalized 'D' have to do with it, I can agree that Maru is a very cute cat!

[–]Jason_the_dolphin 148 points149 points ago

My favorite is the file folder one. . . oh my.

[–]ceciliabee 43 points44 points ago

i've been saying this for years, but... you know how when you look into the eyes of most cats, you can see something behind them... deviousness, curiosity, evil plans, playfulness... when i watch maru's videos and see into his eyes, there is nothing in his big dumb empty head and he is still the funniest, most entertaining cat i've seen on youtube. but really... there is nothing going on in his big dumb head. his eyes don't hide a thing.

[–]supbanana 4 points5 points ago

You just described my cat perfectly.

[–]Bad_assness 30 points31 points ago

Maru!!

[–]HOWCANTHATBETAKEN 25 points26 points ago

Can someone please give an explanation as to why cats need to squeeze into everything?

[–]HOWCANTHATBETAKEN 67 points68 points ago

Nvm, googled it. It's for safety and snuggles.

[–]admiraljustin 28 points29 points ago

It's easy to understand, really, and best summed up in a simple statement.

"If I fits, I sits."

[–]Kinglink 13 points14 points ago

There are two things in the cat world. Things they fit in, and enemies.

They must divide the world up into the two categories to make sure which is which. It's their life's goal.

[–]jamdrumsspace 1 point2 points ago

False. It's things they fit in, and things smaller than them which they must observe and destroy. You are not smaller than them and they cannot destroy you and this is why they hate you. However, you make good furniture and bring tasty things so they will tolerate you. They may even let you pet them.

[–]rawrc 120 points121 points ago

"If i fits, I... I... URGG if I fits... I FITS....

Ahh... I sits"

[–]blink_again_bitch 3 points4 points ago

[–]calvindog717 15 points16 points ago

It's like looking at appartments in NYC

[–]Pepopowitz 33 points34 points ago

Is it wrong that I want to meet Maru more then any famous person?

[–]deepblueeverything 5 points6 points ago

Nah, Maru is less likely to be an asshole IRL.

[–]Anal_Rapper 86 points87 points ago

His tail wagging makes him look so satisfied when he first gets in.

[–]darkfade 140 points141 points ago

Cat tail wagging = Annoyance, not contentment.

Source: When my cat starts doing that when I pet her, I know I'm about to get fucking mauled within 2 seconds if I don't stop.

[–]TheBB 59 points60 points ago

I once read somewhere that the reason dogs and cats often don't get along is because their social signals are opposite. When a dog sees a cat doing this it might assume the cat is in a playful mood and... then the fun starts...

[–]Paxalon 47 points48 points ago

Likewise: A dog showing it's stomach is a sign of submission. A cat showing it's stomach means, "come here so I can rip your fucking face off."

[–]hazju1 13 points14 points ago

I think in that case they actually mean similar things--unless the cat is already fighting, in which case it wants to kick you from beneath

[–]upandadam 9 points10 points ago

My cats let me/love it when I scratch their tummy. Sorry your cats hate you~

[–]cdude 13 points14 points ago

what is the tilde supposed to denote?

[–]EdgarChapelle 10 points11 points ago

Maybe he tried an exclamation mark1

[–]emkat 9 points10 points ago

Mockery~

[–]Maniacal_Artist 3 points4 points ago

I've heard it's used for extending the final vowel sound .

"Sorry your cat hates yooouuuuu."

[–]SelectaRx 0 points1 point ago

To keep scratching tummies until de cats like yoU!

[–]Paxalon 3 points4 points ago

My cats are actually pretty cool with us touching their bellies (someone from outside the family might not have such luck, though). But, for cats in general, that's an attack pose. So, a dog will see a cat showing it's tummy, and think, "awesome, he thinks I'm the man!" And upon sniffing at said cat, he'll get his nose all clawed up.

[–]will_holmes 1 point2 points ago

My cat is the same, although our family often jokes that she's a pretty weird cat.

Cat language has an added layer of complexity that completely changes the meaning, which won't be apparent to dogs but can be apparent for humans who pay attention. For example, a cat that is actually being submissive and enjoying a belly rub won't look at you and will probably partially or fully close its eyes. A cat that's being aggressive will always be looking in your direction, head up, with open eyes.

[–]AGENTshields 0 points1 point ago

My dogs must really worship me then

[–]actuallyitsnotokay 19 points20 points ago

Tail thrashing= the rage of twenty-seven thunderstorms. Tail quivering= very pleased. What you see in this GIF was an example of tail thrashing. EDIT: typo.

[–]surfnaked 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, you can almost hear him say "Fucking box! You won't beat me! HAH!" Maru is the master of boxes. He will not be defeated.

[–]space_monster 1 point2 points ago

TIL.

[–]the_blackfish 10 points11 points ago

Yeah, he looks pissed.

[–]Reflective_Eye22 7 points8 points ago

I think in this instance its to help him maintain balance while in the box.

[–]Clairdassian 1 point2 points ago

IDK my cat wags his tail all the time. It does not stop ever, only when he's sleeping!

[–]TheySeeMeDerpinn 1 point2 points ago

Sometimes yes, just like how they purr when they're stressed. If I talk directly to my cat its tail will spazz out for a second and it will blink. It means they're content.

[–]darkfade 4 points5 points ago

Wagging slightly (as in quickly back and forth but not the full length or slowly back and forth in a full arch) means that. But the violent, quick, full movements like in this video clearly mean annoyance. It's a pretty noticeable difference.

[–]surfnaked 1 point2 points ago

Cats use their tails for punctuation.

[–]LadyCrowsEye 0 points1 point ago

My cat does that when I come home and go right for his food. I always heard it meant they are excited.

[–]greedyiguana 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it's actually funnier if you read the tail wagging as pissed.

It's like he gets in the box and is saying "why is the goddamn box so small"

[–]SPACE_LAWYER 23 points24 points ago

tip of tail waving = internal conflict, the cat is making a descision

whole tail waving = external conflict, the cat is pissed about something outside of its control (in this case the box is a little too small)

edit: fucking vowels

[–]notwitty_username 3 points4 points ago

Its just hilarious how long the cat sits in the box waving it for.

Like you'd think he would get out but he just sits there, "Darn box, HONEY I TOLD YOU TO GET THE BIGGER ONE!"

[–]SkipSandwichDX 4 points5 points ago

Your misuse of "waving" has probably screwed up a few of your contracts, SPACE_LAWYER.

[–]willtodd 6 points7 points ago

Maru has to be the most famous cat ever. Instantly recognizable.

[–]Ebake09 8 points9 points ago

How to catch a cat. Step 1- acquire a small box. Step 2- place said box anywhere with top open. Step 3- prosper.

Edit: I love the last line "Maru never gives up entering as long as there's a box there." I never noticed that before. I know a lot of people like Maru.

[–]luciferin 0 points1 point ago

When Maru found a smaller box, do you think that he gives up entering?

[–]retroq 7 points8 points ago

It's always cute til they take a shit in the box. "If it fits, I...poop."

"Does this box make me look fat?"

[–]unclear_plowerpants 0 points1 point ago

When cats move their tail around quickly it usually means they are nervous or stressed. Sometimes they also do this just before a pounce attack. Somehow Maru's tail use seems completely different. I think he's using it more like a dog would; he can't contain all his excitement over finding a new box/being inside a box/having something on his head and has to release it through his tail.
He seems like a very smart cat, but shit is he clumsy. :)
