lalala2012Possibly the two most internet-famous cats in the world right now are Henri and Maru.
shrift sent me a link to the latest Maru video the other night, and we got into a conversation that led to this:
shrift: Now I'm picturing Maru with French narration like the ennui cat.
Nestra: I hope they would get along.
shrift: Ennui cat needs fluffy friends.
shrift: Friends with awesome boxes.
shrift: Crap, suddenly I want to request this for Yuletide.
And that led to this, which is not yuletide-worthy, but I offer it up to all of you.
Henri: Bonjour, mon ami.
Maru: what?
Henri: J’ai dit ‘bonjour’.
Maru: i have no idea what you’re saying.
Henri: Francais, imbecile.
Maru: are you high on catnip? you’re a cat. speak cat. not random ungrammatical French.
Henri: Le sigh.
Maru: i have a box. Want to see it?
Henri: What do you do with a box?
Maru: climb in it. climb out. hang out in it.
Henri: You voluntarily imprison yourself in a cage?
Maru: it’s not a cage. it's a box. you can scratch it with your claws, and it makes a cool noise when you jump in.
Henri: Or is it the noise of your soul, crying out for meaning in a meaningless world?
Maru: i don’t even know what that means.
Henri: Alas, even my own kind does not understand me. You performing buffoon.
Maru: yeah, whatever. i've seen your videos.
Henri: You are not black. You are not white. You exist in a gray area, unable to make your own choices. You simply wait for the humans to dangle the toy, and then you chase it.
Maru: oh, like those toy mouses on stretchy strings! those are awesome.
Henri: Stretchy?
Maru: when you catch them and let them go, they go “sproing!” and then you can chase them and kill them more.
Henri: And this brings joy into your meaningless life?
Maru: you aren’t listening. I HAVE A BOX.
Henri: I might consider climbing in your box. Even though life will go on outside the box. Nothing will have changed when I climb out.
Maru: get in the box, don’t get in the box, i seriously don’t care—
Henri: I’m going!
[Henri climbs gingerly in the box]
[A few minutes later…SPROING!]
Maru: told you.
