I'm a little choked up.

18 years is a pretty good run for a cat, but yeah.

First David Bowie, then Lemmy, and now Maru...

Lemmy? Did I miss something?

Lemmy Kilmister.

Getting downvoted for not knowing. Incredible. Lol

(Lemmy died before Bowie? A decade ago.)

[–] don@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 week ago

Rest in peace Maru!

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Rest in peace, today should be proclaimed international cat day.

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh no. Maru is like the OG internet celebrity cat. This feels like the end of an era.

What about Keyboard Cat :(

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 16 points 1 week ago

Noooo ... not Maru! It's like a piece of the internet died with him. 😭

Genuinely sad 😢

The Internet will never forget you.

Farewell to a real one.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

I'm so sad. But at least we know Maru had a pretty darn perfect life, with an owner who clearly loved him and might coax but never coerced him into performing for the camera.

😿

Round Cat of Boxes

Still your ever-twitching tail

Rest in majesty

Open up all the empty boxes for Maru one last time fam!

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Why does this hit so hard? Bro finally jumped inside his last box.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It was always a comfort to check up on Maru. But he lived well and loved. Rest easy, big guy ❤️
