We’re big fans of Maru the cat’s impressive work in the field of Adorableness. Maru, a Scottish fold<\/a> from Japan, has stretched the boundaries of what it means to be a cute cat and become an international celebrity in the process.<\/p>\n

We can watch Maru’s "greatest hits" all day — particularly his exploits attempting to jump into a large cardboard box<\/a>. His latest video installment, shown above, was uploaded just this past weekend and has already garnered more than 130,000 views!<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Scottish fold cats are born with ears that point straight up, like most cats. When they’re around three weeks of age, some kittens’ ears spontaneously fold downward at the tip<\/a>; other kittens’ ears remain straight and never form the breed’s classic fold at all.<\/p>\n
