I have a favorite one:

The food in my bowl is old
And besides which
Does not contain tuna.


I liked it so much that it went on Uncle M's gravestone...

Cat Haiku

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That'll sure show you.

You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.

The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning

Grace personified.
I leap into window.
I meant to do that.

Blurr of motion, then--
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?

The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds-
your foot just squashed one.

You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.

My small cardboard box
You cannot see me if
I can just hide my head.

Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's Toilet paper?

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner.

I want to be close
to you. Can fit my head
inside your armpit?

Wanna go outside.
Oh sh*t! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!

Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue.

Humans are so strange.
Mine lies in bed, then screams
My claws are not that sharp.

Cats meow out of angst.
"Thumbs"! If we only had thumbs!
We could do so much.

The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"

We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you.
Want to smell my butt?
