Cat Haiku

[HEPZIBAH]

I came across a little book of Cat Haiku by Deborah Coates. I'm sure you cat lovers will recognise the characters she has described.

You may call it 'a
Lot of yowling'. I call it
Singing to my friends.

You are my best friend,
Person Allergic to Cats.
Let me shed on you.

Visitors come. They
Coo over me. Ignoring
Them, I wash my rump.
~
There will be canine
Parts missin if that dog gets
Anywhere near me.
~
You want to cuddle;
I don't. No offence meant, but
Right now you bore me.

[FABlux]

Those are all so true

HOME DECORATING

Au contraire; I think
The couch looks better with a
Few shredded cushions


I can't help it if
The curtain rod is not strong
Enough to hold me.

I know you're mad
Just think: it takes planning to
Knock over a chair!

Voila: grey paw prints
On the countertops. What an
Artistic statement!

Lamps are convenient
For trapping moths, but they do
Tip over a lot.

Brilliant Hepzibah, I can so identify them with my cats and sadly my sofa

Reminds me of my son's comment when I was cursing the cat for going in & out in the rain & walking all over the window sill with muddy paws. "He's only going out to refill his paint brush"
More excellent quotes Hepzi

Awe, how cute - the problem also happens when you are really painting and you have a big grey cat with a fluffy tail.

H[face=Comic Sans MS]ere is some more cat Haiku for you.[/face]

KEEPING FIT

I am a strong and
Adventurous cat. So I
Can't climb down. Big deal.

I leap for a bird
And miss. I pretend I was
Stretching to fool you.

You don't get it: a
Scratching post is too easy.
Now, a chair leg - ah!

Yes, furniture was definitely my last cats second favourite form of exercise. Carpets were her first

[Phantom]

My sofas are so scratched that I was thinking of getting new ones for Christmas - not now, litttl'un's claws are extremely sharp !

[FABlux]

How has she settled in with the others?

[WIZARD]

Lovely.

[Phantom]

How has she settled in with the others?

Gizmo has become her mentor, she follows him everywhere. He even washes her - something that she doesn't seem to have time to do. They're both asleep together on the sofa as I type. They do have scraps, she cries when he belts her, then goes back for more.

Phantom, no way, she leaves the room when Cleopatra enters or hisses at her.

[HEPZIBAH]

A tree to climb, light
Cords to bite, presents to prowl,
I love Christmastime.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New Year's Eve is nice
If you're crazy. Me, I stay
Under the sofa.

[FABlux]

They're lovely Hepzi.
We had kittens that climbed the tree - once

That is SOOO true - Crazycats cats do that all the time to me!!!

[crazycat]

to stop cats scratching the furniture use a water pistol. I trained my cats with one and they do not scratch anything they're not supposed to except for Annadongela.

Phantom, I too used to have a big fluffy grey cat who used his tail as a paint brush, I guess they must be all the same
