An oldie but a goodie. 😉 We used to plaster this one on our kitty-themed websites along with tons of adorable information — how I miss the old silly days of web pages and graphic design!
The Cat Haiku
by Unknown
You never feed me.
Perhaps I’ll sleep on your face.
That will show you.
You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
elevator butt.
I need a new toy.
Tail of black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! good dog! good dog!
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?
The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds
Your foot just squashed one.
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”?
Kitty likes plastic
Confuses for litter box
Don’t leave tarp around
Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner
Want to trim my claws
Don’t even think about it!
My yelps will wake the dead
I want to be close
To you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! 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 the bed, then screams!
My claws aren’t that sharp….
Cats meow out of angst
“Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much”
Litter box not there
You must have moved it again
I’ll crap in the sink
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?

😀 I love this.
Those are hilarious. One of my mom’s cats did the dead-bird-gift thing. She caught it and left it under the dinner table, I guess to say “thank you” for us leaving scraps for her. 🙂 Disgusting, but its the thought that counts!
[…] Steak ‘N Shake. because sometimes you really need a burger to make it through the day Kitty Haiku (my favorite: “You’re always typing/Well, let’s see you ignore my/Sitting on your […]
