Cat Haiku

by Deborah Coates

Overview

So you want to know what's behind my Sphinx-like stare and Mona Lisa smile? Now you can find out, because this book is more than just the cat's meow -- it's the purr-fect cat-alogue of feline wit and wisdom (as it should be; after all, I wrote it). It will tell you what I'm really thinking, and bring a grin -- or a grimace -- to your pitifully whiskerless face. So get a firm grip on your upholstery, and let the haiku begin! -- A. Cat

Editorial Reviews

Domestic cats and kittens have always composed verse, but much of their work has yet to be translated from the original feline and Meow. Humorist Deborah Coates has come to the rescue with 150 Cat Haiku, accompanied with cute faux-Japanese line drawings: "Surprise! I can jump/ Through the newspaper while you/ Are still reading it!"
