Peaches, was often considered the “goodwill ambassador” for cats.

Sounds as if you have a "fancier" cat! I like diplomacy. ;-D

I do have 2 more. :) They’re not the same type though. Just couldn’t get the same kind.

Peaches was a mixed breed, mostly grey and brown, but with patches of other colors mixed in — I think the shelter pronounced her a “domestic shorthair, patched tabby.” I always said when God made her, he had some leftover paint so he just dabbed her with it. I’d like to think that she’s standing at the gates of heaven greeting everyone who comes in. That’s what she would do if someone came to the house — just stand at the door meowing and waiting to be petted. She was a character. I miss her.

It is amazing how critters like Peaches can leave an imprint on our lives and hearts! We can be grateful for the pleasures. ;-D

“I’ve tried that but the cats never know what the middle finger means. :)”

Ding, ding, ding. Thank you for playing. I absolutely knew there’d be someone who wouldn’t be able to resist the middle finger business. Congratulations, you just won first prize.

“And if you take the dishes that the newbie has eaten out of and the dishes that the old hands have eaten out of and exchange them, the scent of each other becomes familiar as well. Toys, too. Exchange from room to room the toys or blankies used. It all helps with the introductions!”

TA DA! Just found this and you’re right on all counts. No surprise there. You definitely know your animal facts!

Took you three days to think of that response? Good grief. It was simply a joke to begin with.

Nope. As mentioned, I’d just discovered your response. No need to get defensive. You won first prize. That’s generally accepted as a good thing — as was intended here.

Kitty Haiku

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’s 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

I am in your way?
you seem to have it backwards:
this pillow’s 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 that thing
your ‘cat carrier.’ I call
these my ‘Blades Of Death’

toy mice, dancing yarn,
meowing sounds. I’m convinced:
you’re an idiot

No, I got them in an email. I about rolled, just reading them. Especially

Caturday Haiku





Silky ball of fluff.
Patience of Job. Humans don't
really stand a chance!

Azure eyes peer out
of a wide flat face. Taking
everything in

Cascading curtains
beg to be climbed. Will have to
wait until later

Ratio of sleep
to exploration is skewed
to favor sleeping

That will change with time.
Kitten batteries are well
known for their weakness

Favorite Places
will change. Curiosity
is there for life

Humans are not hard
to train. Snaking between their
legs and Purrs work well

All that Kitty sees
belongs to either he or
she. Don't you get it?


Jack Deth~ 11/10/07.
