Plant attack
I fight back
Guts are mess
Have new dress
I was sleeping,
On a pillow, in a sunny window,
On the second floor of the house.
I wasn't hungry,
Since my family gives me plenty of food,
And I didn't even finish my breakfast.
I heard a noise,
Which was the humans moving food bowls,
To prepare my dinner.
Now I am standing,
At the gate at the top of the stairs,
Yelling as if my life depended on it.
---- Cat, 2025
"Did you not go shopping?"
"Yes, I went shopping."
"But there are no groceries in the bag."
"Ah, true."
"There is instead a void."
"Yes, that there is. A very nice void."
"Did I not instruct you to avoid the void?"
"The void was unavoidable."
[Kneels down to pet void]
"And we are much better off for it."
Crossed paws and long stretch
Sunshine through the sheer curtains
Happy blissful cat

Learnings From My Cat
From the cat I have learned
To linger in a sun spot streaming through the window
To let other things wait while the warmth infuses my bones
To revel in a perfectly comfortable position, and to stretch slowly as if it is the day’s only task
The joy to be found in stillness

I love my kitties.
I can touch them anywhere.
I can touch them here ,
I can touch them there,
I can touch them on the couch,
Or in a chair

Gentle wake-ups
Food, litter, play, clean, love, sleep, play rest, snuggle, sleep, share food, litter, play,
In the box. Around the corner.
Pounce
Wind-up spring-jump
Leap and run
Quick run away!
Crazy
Rescue pen from table down to floor where it belongs
Crash!
Purr, hiss, growl, meow, squeak
Petting, stretching
Not too much touch, just nearby sit
Tiny, delicate kisses
Gentle wake-ups

Four of us
On four floors
Have civilized discourse
But when forms toilet queue
Much hissing does ensue
I awoke to the sight of one of these "skinned pelts," the visual inspiration for today's haiku poem.🤣The USB cable survived the direct feline assault but sustained a critical loss of -30 hit points.😉

Cat vs. Cable (Electronic Prey)
USB cables,
You're no match for determined
Cats who skin your pelts.

Step 2: "Now rewrite that poem but more catish"
Today people act strange
For me only change
Is salmon and turkey yesterday
beef and lamb today
