Speaking of Fussy Pussies . . .

[Guest]

We've got 'em.

The introduction of two new kittens has sufficiently angered the older, established cats in our somewhat well-adjusted household.

At least, that's the only way I can explain the yakked-up hairballs on our pillows.

Again.

I don't know, do you think they're trying to tell us something?

Yes - kitten fur makes them gag.

Growing up, when our cat was angry at my mother - specifically my mother - lol - she would search out her shoes and pee on them Cats know what they are doing AND what they want!

Since you have shown that you LIKE little balls of fur, they have SUPPLIED you with little balls of fur.

What’s your problem?

Sounds like its time for shut bedroom doors, b/c if they are hacking up hairballs, they may also be urinating and defecating in hidden yet disgusting places.

Yes. We've locked them out of our bedroom for now, the little shits.

But the new kittens are not even in the "general population" yet. Each child has their new kitten locked in their room, and we're slowly progressing with the introductions.

(Right now we're at the stage of feeding cats at the same time on opposite sides of the closed doors. They can reach a paw beneath and hiss and spit and growl but cannot kill each other. Supposedly, when they are accustomed to this stage, we can move on.)

Still, as wonderfully as they are adapting, I do expect to find future gifts.

ROFL! DO NOT do this to me! Spitting on keyboard is never good!

I once switched our cats' litter to this pine-pellet stuff... Our younger cat didn't care, but the older one, Ned, who just turned 17 in the spring (we think...we know he is at least 16 and can't be more than 18, so...), was completely disgusted with the new litter...

And demonstrated his displeasure by pooping on the dining room table.

...I switched back.

Cat Haiku & Sympathy

Sarahh, I feel your pain. We just introduced a 2 year old into the 2 cat community living in our house. The result has been alot of hissing and growling from the 10 & 12 year olds already living here. Protest poop has appeared in a couple of places, but so far thats the worst. Unless you count the foul language coming from everyone, including the cats.

This moring a friend sent me a Cat Haiku to help me understand the little hairbags. I thought you and the other cat folks on Lit might enjoy it.

Good luck with the kittens!

CAT HAIKU

Am I in your way?
You seem to have it backwards:
This pillow's taken.

The food in my bowl
Is old, and more to the point,
Contains no tuna.

So you want to play.
Will I claw at dancing string?
Your ankle's closer.

There's no dignity
In being sick - which is why
I don't tell you where.

Seeking solitude
I am locked in the closet.
For once I need you.

Tiny can, dumped in
Plastic bowl. Presentation,
One star; service none.

Your mouth is moving;
Up and down, emitting noise.
I've lost interest.

The dog wags his tail,
Seeking approval. See mine?
Different message.

My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?

Most problems can be
Ignored. The more difficult
Ones can be slept through.

My affection is conditional.
Don't stand up,
It's your lap I love.

Cats can't steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail's
Pulled again, I'll learn.

I don't mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.

So you call this thing
Your "cat carrier." I call
It my "blades of death."

Toy mice, dancing yarn,
Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:
You're an idiot.

Good one Lady Kit.

I didn't know cats could write. I especially liked this one:

My brain: walnut-sized.
Yours: largest among primates.
Yet, who leaves for work?

 

[Guest]

Wonderful, Lady Kit!

Cat Haiku!

 

[Guest]

More Cat Haiku!



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

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

I need a new toy.
Tail of black dog keeps good time.
Pounce! good dog! good dog!

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 the window
I meant to do that

Blur 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 a "term paper"?

Kitty likes plastic
Confuses for litter box
Don't leave tarp around

Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner

Want to trim my claws
Don't even think about it!
My yelps will wake the dead

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

Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! 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 still in the bed, then screams!
My claws aren't that sharp....

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

Litter box not there
You must have moved it again
I'll crap in the sink

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.
