Cat Haiku by Deborah Coates

The cat has been with us since time began - think back, for example, to ancient Egypt. Enigmatic, independent, surprising, single-minded, loving - cats are all these things and impose themselves on our lives. The haiku is an ancient and honourable Japanese verse form - three lines, 17 syllables, encapsulating a vision of the essence of the thing, scene or person being written about. Cat Haiku presents cats as you've never seen them before. In a series of brilliant vignettes, Deborah Coates gets inside the minds of our cats and comes up with some surprising revelations I yowl to the moon; I am king of the night. Hear Me and weep, Fluffy. I figure if I Stare at this door long enough, You will let me out. You will never look at your (or anyone else's) cat the same way again.
Deborah Coates lives in Los Angeles with her two cats, Pinch and Pippin. She is chronically amused and frequently perplexed by them and other things.
