You may remember the "computer haiku" form. Here are some "catkus"
My brain: walnut-sized
Your: largest among primates.
Yet who leaves for work?
The food in my bowl
Is old, and – more to the point –
Contains no tuna.
You’ve bought a new toy
Money wisely spent on me
I love the boxes.
I walk on this shelf
No real destination, just
Love of crashing glass.
The dog licks your face.
You laugh, gratified. His tongue?
I know where it’s been.
A home with a cat
Has no need of sculpture. But
It does need tuna.
What is put outside
In the rain will soon return
To walk on the couch.
The path is long, but
Leads to the mountain’s summit
You go; report back.
You think I am named
Fluffy. I am Ratkiller
To you, Foodbringer
Stealthy and silent
I hunt birds–but listen for
The can opener.
The pig, it is said,
Is smarter than cats or dogs.
Care for more bacon?
Wealth is illusion.
Power but a dream. Tuna,
However, is real.
And anyone who owns a cat owes it to themselves to read Elizabeth Marshall Thomas' Tribe of Tiger
