CAT HAIKUS

Cold again last night.
Fur plumped up like a chicken
Waiting for the fox.

Sliding under blankets
Tight and smooth. Warm all around.
They won't find me here!

Big dumb dog is tired.
Busy from playing all day.
Great place for a nap!

On the window ledge
Watching the squirrels and birds play.
Claws can't scratch through glass!

Stretched out in the tall grass.
Ears up. Green eyes all but closed.
Intruders, beware!

This domain is mine!
Poachers from another yard
Will soon feel my wrath!

Hate the dry white wet!
Falls so silent from the clouds.
Belying its danger.

Jack.

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.

Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.

Blur of motion, then-
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.

Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a term paper?

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh, crap! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams
Claws are not that sharp.

Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"

The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?
