Cat Haiku

[RICHARD]

electricity-
the static kind-has turned my
white cat, gray again...

[RICHARD]

my clean cat attracts
over 10 percent of the
dust inside my home
---------------

a clean cat can be
considered a dust magnet
white shows the dirt well.
---------------

a fluffy tail used
on items left on a shelf
picks up dirt the best

[Karen]

Eddie - a new career!
You should work as a tester
For Oreck vacuums!

All dust shows up on
Your handsome white coat, so this
Should earn you some cash!

What will Eddie buy
With all that money - fish, Pounce
Or other good treats?

[RICHARD]

should the Oreck gig
fall thru, I could go to work
for Hilton Hotels!

-------------

the biggest problem
is getting dad to take the
cobwebs off my head!!

[Barbara]

A cat like Tigris
-gray like the dust- makes most of
the dustbunnies here.

You can find Tigris'
underwool fluffy and light
in every corner.

Tigris and Eddie
one making -one removing
would make a good team

Mother's Day Haiku from the Cat:

Nice lady pets me
Scoops the poop out of my box
I call her Mommy.

[RICHARD]

my dad was real sick
i cured him with some lap time
and kitty kisses

[RICHARD]

thank you Pet Talkers
dad brought me the gifts you sent-
cat nip and some toys.

i climbed in the bags
played with the wrapping foil
so much simple fun!

i batted around
the cat nip mouses and chased
the balls all around

but i've kept my dad
awake at night while under
the spell of cat nip!!!

[Barbara]

dad says your catnip
kept him awake but it was
his margaritas

fun, margaritas
talking and laughing - much too
exciting to sleep

you will now groom him
soothing his headache just stay
close to him in bed

[RICHARD]

my magic carpet
was once my dad's beach towel-
love to sleep on it
-----
i love the colors
dark green fish, light green fishies
but what is a beach?
-----
dad says there's water
i really don't like that thought
but the sand sounds good
-------
a huge litter box
stretching miles and miles
cat heaven on earth!!
------
i dream of the beach
carried on that huge towel
to the water's edge.
------
oh, oh, thats too close!
maybe i'd be safer on
the sand next to dad.
------
dozing in the sun
watching the seagulls flying
the people surfing
-------
sometimes i cannot
dream, my huge towel is in
the washing machine!
-------
i have to remind
my dad that i cannot sleep
without my towel
-------
poor dad i know he
likes his huge towel, but he
likes me even more!

Well done, RICHARD!

"In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats." - English proverb

[RICHARD]

eddie wants to know....

a cat's paw in space?
i have a hard enough time
staying on the floor
------
maybe, dogs in space..
the size of the cat that left
those prints up in space!!
------
how long is his tail?
and the whiskers he must have!
the size of his bowl?
------
but my question is
does a cat that size have a
real big litter box?????

[Barbara]

Optics

I can't reach the top!
Telescope kitty stretches
just a bit longer.


Magnetism

The darker the cloth
the easier it attracts
the hair of white cats.

Inertia

External forces
only move a resting cat.
Just open a food tin!

[Logan]

From Mimi:

Why does he chase me?
I have been here the longest
Zip, please go away

[RICHARD]

a napping kitty
has potential energy-
waiting for release!

a runnning cat has
kinetic energy-watch
them run thru the house!
