Image text: If I'm such a god, why isn't Maru *my* cat?

This comic is describing all the work that has to go into a simple task by a computer, and when listed out it is impressive.  But, not as impressive as Maru the cat.

Maru is a cat that is fairly famous on youtube for cutely jumping in and out of things.

Here's an example of Maru jumping in and out of a large box.  Trust me, there are plenty more versions on youtube.
