Happy Birthday Maru!
Today is Maru the cat’s birthday! The insanely popular box-loving internet star is in the Guinness Book of World Records — his videos have over 380 MILLION views and counting!
In honor of his 12th birthday, here are 12 times Maru broke the internet!
From 2009, meet Maru!
How small can you go? Where there’s a box, Maru will find a way!
Seriously, if he fits he sits!
Even a giant box is no match for Maru!
A plastic box gave us a close-up view of Maru’s gravity-defying CAT-robatics.
Does this diet drink container count as a box? Maru took it as a personal challenge!
But oh no! Did Maru finally come across a box he couldn’t fit in?
Boxes aren’t Maru’s only talent. From kneading to high fiving to opening secret drawers, his paws have mad skills!
Maru + mirror. Mind. Blown.
In 2013 Maru got a sibling named Hana and it was a true love connection. They are BFFs!
Maru and Hana weren’t quite sure what to make of this automatic feeder…
At the end of the day, all good kitties deserve a nice grooming session!
Many happy returns, dear Maru!
