Cat Haiku

from "The Ancient Art of Japanese Poetry -- Cat Style"
by Deborah Coates

I am a strong and
adventurous cat. So I
Can't climb down. Big deal.

You don't get it: a
Scratching post is too easy.
Now, a chair leg -- ah!

I'm not digging in
The carpet; I'm exploring
My Inner Kitten.

Warning: I can't be
Trusted if fresh sushi is
Left unattended.

If this stuff is so
'Good and nutritious,' why
Don't you eat kibble?

It takes practice to
Sneeze medicine in your face.
I'm good at it, huh?

I wait for you to
Clean the rugs. Hack! Hack! Here: my
Best hairball to date.

You are wrong. There's no
Rule that says the litter must
Stay inside the box.

I watch you use the
Vacuum cleaner but I still
Think it will eat me.

It's true: cats always
Know the most comfortable
Place. But you won't fit.
