I saw it too, Jerry. I'm glad it's gone.
Here's some cat haiku -- I didn't write it.
Cat Haiku
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. ----
Am I in your way? You seem to have it backwards: This pillow's taken. ----
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 These my "blades of death." ----
Toy mice, dancing yarn Meowing sounds. I'm convinced: You're an idiot.
