Haikus Written by Cats

Haikus Written by Cats


The food in my bowl is old,
and more to the point
Contains no tuna.


So you want to play.
Will I claw at dancing string?
Your ankle is closer.


There's no dignity
In being sick - which is why
I don't tell you where.


Seeking solitude
I am locked in the closet.
For once I need you.


Tiny can, dumped in
Plastic bowl. Presentation,
One star; service: none.


Am I in your way?
You seem to have it backwards:
This pillow is taken.


Your mouth is moving;
Up and down, emitting noise.
I've lost interest.


My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?


Most problems can be
Ignored. The more difficult
Ones can be slept through.


Cats can't steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail's
Pulled again, I'll learn.


I don't mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.


So you call this thing
Your "cat carrier." I call
These my "blades of death."


Toy mice, dancing yarn
Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:
You're an idiot.

3. You can credit me with posting, but not writing....
I received it in an email from a friend. My guess is that she got it from her cat

2. Brilliant. These truly express the whole
essence of being a cat. May I share them with others?

4. Please do. I am sharing these with everyone I know who has a cat,
and several people who do not.
