The Funny Side of Cats

Here's a collection of kitty-related photos, cartoons, and funnies that have crossed our desks lately. Because many of these items are distributed via email without indication of who created them, many may not have credits. Where authorship was indicated, credit will be noted.

We hope these will give you a smile! And, if you have something to share for publication in future issues, please send them to kittyscoop@folsomfelines.org.

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.
