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.

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.

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

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

Big hairy spider.
Why did you put it outside?
Waste of a good snack.

Many birds out there
And me behind this window.
Need a glass cutter.

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

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

What Tweed said!  The Haiku naturally lends itself to encapsulating the soul
of a cat. =o)

These are great!! Nice to see some new ones. Did you write them?

No, I didn't write them.  They were printed in the newsletter of a local
cat shelter.  No attributions, so I don't know the author(s).

I've decided this one would be good for many occassions.

This one is especially good.

And I think this is my favorite :)

*makes my gang give it a try*

Smokey:

I love the sofa
almost as much as I love
a full bowl of food.

I hate the outdoors
with a loathing that no words
could ever express.

Tyche:

You do not live here
so I hate you and wish you
would die already.

I love Mom, Smokey,
Momdad, my stupid sister,
Nox--and no one else.

Kumani:

Hoover my breakfast
plus a spider and some crumbs--
must barf on the rug.

I hate the vet who
puts thermometers in spots
I cannot mention.

Nocturne:

Who is in charge here?
Human fools believe they are.
But I know better.

Get off my pillow
you cretinous moron with
an oversized head.

--Fil's crew.

This is great, Fil.  Hmm.  Might have a go myself!  Looks like fun.

Dee, these are brilliant. Permission, please, to use them in our rescue
group's (non - profit) newsletter.

I'm not the owner so I have no permission to grant you ;-)  But I copied
them from a local shelter's newsletter (with no attributions) so I don't
see why you couldn't publish them in your newsletter.

OK, I'll put them in with the note that they were given to me anonymously :D
If anyone does know where they came from originally, I'll attribute, of
course.
