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.
Am I 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.
The dog wags his tail,
Seeking approval. See mine?
Different message.
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.
My affection is
conditional. Don't stand up,
It's your lap I love.
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.

Cat Haiku
Tehe, I'm excited :mrgreen: I've never had a favourite poem before and almost felt bad for it, thinking perhaps I should search.
Thankfully, that search is now over ^_^
... I wonder if i can convince my future fiance to read this at my... er... our wedding. Weeeee!
More Cat haiku
You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
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.
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.
Kitty like plastic.
Confuses for litter box.
Don't leave tarp around.
Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner
Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!
Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"
Litter box not here.
You must have moved it again.
I'll poop in the sink.
