Maru, internet-famous cat, goes to the 2012 Oscars

Everyone's favorite internet cat goes to the Academy Awards. Well, in poster form. You can't buy the posters, or the cat, but you can buy the book. More about the legend in this previous Boing Boing post.

Whew! for a second there I thought this was bad news. I just saw “Maru goes to…” and thought it was gonna say”the big box in the sky” or something. Maru!!

  I don’t like what you just wrote. You know why?
  
  First, it’s catnip then it’s Coke and eventually it’ll be Meth!
  
  Leave my Maru alone!!!
