Cat Haiku

[RICHARD]

sometimes i wonder
who is smarter and who is
in charge of the house
---------
if i stand by the
front door and begin to cry
the cat laughs at me
-------
if i wake the cat
from a deep slumber, i get
the cat 'evil eye'
-------
if i should beg for
any kind of human treat
the cat stares at me
------
pedagogic ? sure....
that cat has me wrapped around
his little front paw!

[Cataholic]

My leg is asleep
I could not care any less
I cannot wake him

You make such simple demands
Love me above all else

What is it about
Your innocent slumbering
that makes me content

know how to lose weight?
try and wake the sleeping cat
that is on your chest

[RICHARD]

my dad abused me
last night, he made me watch the
westminster dog show.

[RICHARD]

i sat on his lap
patient as always, watching
him root for the dogs.

-----------------
pomeranian,
kerry blue, sheperds, lhasas-
the bane of a cat.
------------------
cat shows are far more
dignified, no running, or
folks poking at us
----------------

what could be more wrong,
letting a stranger stick his
hand between my legs.

a dignified cat
would never let it self be
humiliated-

in front of the world
and all those crazy dogs folks
like i saw last night.

-----------------
should dad have a thought
about making me a show
cat, i will show him!!!!!

i like my life now
(i would have to bathe, i don't
like water that much )

he has given me a
bath once, when he remembers
he will sober up!!!!

[slick]

In bed I feel pain
His paws gently touch my tears
My companion Max

i love the fireplace
my dad is worried that i
like it way too much.

i cry to go to
my grandma's place and i cry
until i get fire

i sleep in front of
the cracklin' flames, i love to
absorb all the heat

grandma worries that
the heat will make me sick but
i know when to move.

my dad is worried
that i will never come home-
that he's abandoned

i pretend i am
asleep in front of the fire
so he leaves me be.

finally i did
go home. I had to go to
potty, drink and eat.

next time i'll go
potty so i can stay at
grandma's a long time.

Early spring sounds like
Melting snow drops falling down
From the black branches

Chirping birds where from
Do you come to your old nests
Up in the gutter

The quiet cats move
their ears like independent
Radar antennas

Oh my! Isn't this the truth!!!!
These are all sooo good!

[RICHARD]

radar antennas
silently searching the air
for out of place noise

[RICHARD]

my dad is feeling
better these days, i told him
'write MORE about me!'

Eddie D. Katz is
my name and making my dad
laugh is ALL my game.

[Barbara]

We are mom's helpers
she is painting the ceiling
and we make her laugh

[RICHARD]

paint with animals?
that is a recipe for
a CAT-astrophe

[bluekat]

Hee hee, that's cute! Thanks for sharing it, I could definately relate to that
