~**!Look Down!**~


There it is!
That Little critter.......
Ready,Set,Pounce!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
I got it!
Uhh-Ohh........

[RICHARD]

I am the center
of the universe my cat
happens to live in

The cold weather comes
forcing him to circle me
like a small planet

It's not gravity
that puts him into a
still smaller orbit

He follows that path,
a heat seeking projectile
awating impact

I will awaken
that night-from a deep slumber
the cat has landed

for a few hours
we symbiotically
exist on the bed

sleeping cat planet
absorbing my body heat-
weighs my body down

Rising morning sun
brings us out of bed
where we break contact

back into orbit
until the cool night brings
us back together.

[RICHARD]

The warm body parts
on my dad are his arms, legs
both of his shoulders


My dad can toss, turn
all night long, I move around
looking for that place


That really warm spot
where I can park my body
until morning comes

[RICHARD]

One ton of trouble,
packed into a ten pound cat.
Are all cats like that?

[CatDad]

Sorry no Haikus from me.

I must say however that there are some pretty talented Haiku writters around here. It took me a while but I finally made it thorugh all of them.

Thanks to everyone, they were all good.

[Barbara]

The cat may have eight
or fourteen pounds -in there is
one ton of trouble.

[Baby Leila]

Leila thought of a good one even though this thread is sooo long.


Meow meow purrrrrrr
Get your lazy head out of
my bed now Now NOW!

[Karen]

This is my sunshine
My warm spot on a cold day
Do not disturb me

You're jealous of my
Gift of turning sunlight in
to tranquility

Go, silly human,
Rake leaves, do your pointless chores
Let me nap in peace.

One ton of trouble
is nine hundred nine kilos
of METRIC trouble!!!

Cats do not sleep! They
visualize the job done.
Naps trump raking leaves!

[RICHARD]

grams of white cat hair
all over the place, on clothes
shirts, shorts and jackets

ounces of mischief
knocking over dad's knick knacks
and some other stuff

Pounds of kitty scat
dad is always cleaning up
after my rear end

tons of real fun
keeping dad on his toes and
making him laugh loud.

I do believe we are getting to know Eddie as well as we do you, Richard and that can be scary Can one know a cat.. ever? Can one know Richard.. hmmm A point to ponder

[Barbara]

Eddie is a riddle.
Who is more of a riddle?
He or dad Richard?

A riddle to solve.
But there is no solution.
Both guys are poets

[lbaker]

yea Barbara! You said it much better than I.........

White hair on black shirts
a classic contrast- Eddie
knows about fashion.

Tigris' ticked hair:
the tips go with light clothes
the bottom with dark
