  1. Diane, I am loving your katkus! My favorite is "breakfast delayed..." so perfect! My cat tortures me if I am late with her meals. : ) You do a fantastic job with the art and poetry mash-ups! I look forward to more of these!

    1. My cat tortures me by nipping the backs of my legs. Don't even think about not scooping out her food in a hurry.

  2. Oh... yes, yes, YES! The third one. For sure! And I love the pic, as well!

    1. Yes, I do love the way the head and the painting just meld together.

  3. These are so fun! And I don't even especially like cats! Having just finished a bowl of oatmeal, which I ended up sharing with my lab, I think the tuna one from last week is my favorite so far! Hope there will be lots more!

  4. Oh, my. The early morning payback. Hairball for breakfast?

  5. I don't have a cat anymore, but I remember that "payback" very well. The side shot of the cat is wonderful, Diane. Each picture/haiku brings a big smile.

  6. LOVE these. Remind me not to mess with the second cat. Payback indeed! Fab pictures!

  7. These crack me up. So glad you decided to enliven our Summer's this way!
    Re. flowers, if I have a vase full on the dining table, I have to put them out of feline reach before going to bed, or else our kitty will chomp the night away.

  10. That last one made me laugh out loud! 4:45, 5:00, 5:10...why oh WHY does the cat continue to sing on cue even when there is no alarm clock, no job to go to, only the desire to sleep in?!?! :-)

  11. These are not to be missed! (And forgive me, flower-loving cat if I have misjudged, but I was combing that bouquet of carnations for a possible bird sighting.)
