cinema_babe | ...On Little Cat Feet (was Haiku Written by Cats)

weret_hekau posted this in her journal and I loved them so much that I'm passing the cat loving love along. These haiku made me miss not having a pet.

Ah well, maybe in my next house.

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.
