The Feline Abreus
We are unabashed
cat people.
They are our
companions and our friends.
When we do
not want to kill them, we love them very much.
~~Kanji~~
aka Kanji Kitty, Kanjiferous Catness, Kanjiko
Kanji has this kinky habit of nursing on the
shower mat.
Perhaps she was weaned too early.
She also likes to watch you flush the toilet,
and loves *shoes*...
her favorite things, however, are krinkly
paper, candy wrappers, and grocery bags.
Isn't she just the photogenic one?
Okay, just one more, in the "cat house"
~~Venus~~
aka Venus Kitty, Venus the Love Slut, Love Goddess, Pretty Kitty
Venus is the attention hog of the house.
She will eat up any and all strokes, pats,
tugs and scritches short of outright abuse.
She likes her belly rubbed... she likes catnip,
the rings off milk jugs,
and to wrap herself up in blankets and rugs
she is lying on.
This is typical of how you'll find Venus much of the time.
Kanji and Venus are like most siblings; they
are jealous of each other
and constantly vying for attention and one-upping.
Sometimes they battle, often they chase and
play.
Now that they are spayed, they even bathe
each other.
This page is dedicated to Koko Kitty, who we
lost in 1998 when she wandered off into the Municipal Parking Lot (probably
to take a nap in a car with the windows rolled down) and never came home.
We miss Koko, and hope she is having happy
adventures, wherever she is.
Koko Kitty, aka Koko the Bean, 1998

You never feed me
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face
And that will show you
You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
Elevator butt.
The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand
New rule tomorrow
In deep sleep hear sound
Cat vomit hairball somewhere
Will find in morning
Grace personified
I leap into the window
I meant to do that
Blur of motion, then-
Silence, me, a paper bag
What is so funny?
You're always typing
Well, let's see you ignore me
Sitting on your hands
My small cardboard box
You cannot see me if I
Can just hide my head
Terrible battle
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a manuscript?
Kitty likes plastic
Confuses for litter box
Don't leave tarp around
Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitos
Fear vacuum cleaner
Want to trim my claws?
Don't even think about it!
My yelps wake the dead
I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!
Oh no! My Big One
has been trapped by newspaper
Cat to the rescue
Humans are so strange
Mine lies still in bed, then screams!
My claws aren't that sharp...
Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much."
Litter box not here
You moved it on me again
I'll crap in the sink
The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for "Cup Hockey"
We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?
My "Cat Haiku"
Somewhere I hear it
More plaintive than a doorbell
The can opener
Bad venetian blind
I will bend you down like this
So I can see out
I've learned to print things
By sitting on the buttons
Sheaves of wasted ink
Paper is krinkling
You cannot eat the Pop Tart
Until I smell it
Leave water dripping
I prefer the shower stall
To my kitty bowl
Lie down and lie still
A perfect spot awaits me
On top of your head
I watch you undress
Yet I cannot comprehend
How your fur comes off
Sweet velour chair
Sumptuous to lie upon
Tempting to my claws
Have one of your own? Email it to me and I'll post it here.
