Is triple Maru too much to handle?
It’s always hard to resist Maru, but when he’s up to his antics in slow motion, it makes you want to reach out and grab him for all the cuddles he could handle.

Maru, the Scottish fold YouTube star who lives with his human, mugumogu, in Japan, is getting his own book. Published by HarperCollins, I am Maru promises a little insight to the cat’s “low-key” lifestyle.
“This…cat may be an internet sensation, but he knows how to keep his celebrity status from going to his fluffy head…mostly…See all his favorite hiding places—trash cans, cupboards, cereal boxes…if it’s cozy, he’s there—meet his treasured toys, and learn what it means to wield just the right amount of cat-titude.”
I am Maru will be available August 23, 2011, but if you can’t wait until then, his blog of the same name updates frequently.
Will he fit? Of course he will. He’s Maru isn’t he?
