Waiting for me at the end of a long day was a link from my mom to a compilation of Maru the Cat’s greatest moments from the past year. I’m not really a YouTube denizen. I usually go there looking for something specific, and usually don’t click through to related videos. The longest I’ve spent on YouTube at a time is probably in the tens of minutes. Up until last night, that is. Last night I spent two hours clicking through Maru videos.

If you don’t know Maru, here’s the second compilation video. (The first and third are similarly funny viewing, particularly parts where he dives headlong into small boxes.)

I find that I’m particularly fond of Maru’s love of diving head first into boxes. And his love of very small boxes. He gets really frustrated if he can’t get into boxes. And pretty much anything called “Desperate Maru” is worth watching for the sheer persistence of the thing (there are a few videos named that). Apparently he also likes to put bags on his head (he does this in several videos, including one with bubble wrap).

And today, just to round out my cat video tastes, I watched this one of a kitten dreaming. I watched it several times. How many, you ask? Several. I refuse to say more.

Yes, I am becoming a crazy cat lady.
