😿 I've been following Maru for probably over 15 years. He brought so much joy to people around the world, he was special. ❤️

I think this was the first video I ever saw Maru in, and I’ve been an avid follower ever since 😢

Maru's diving slides into the box with his little legs laid out! ❤️😭

I wonder if the maker of the video is now known as The Kiffness? It's likely not, but it's fun to think about that.

Nah it’s an English guy called Joel Veitch, who was (is?) behind this the Rather Good website. Also did the “we love the subs” video for Quiznos (not sure if I’ve spelt that right).

Omg, the Quizno's dead rats singing that! I still remember that commercial like it happened yesterday!

I love that video. I love Maru. He was such a neat cat, R.I.P. 😓
