I found a slight smear of canned cat food on my keyboard the other day.
Funny. I don’t remember eating cat food…
There’s a new icon on my desktop: Haikus.
Who can help but double-click?
Little can, dumped in
Ceramic platter is nice
Where is the garnish?
I glance over at Liza Bean Bitey (of the Minneapolis Biteys). She is curled up on a folded blanket at the end of the couch. Her eyes are closed, but the set of her ears suggests she is not asleep.
I move to the next haiku, entitled “Rest Easy”.
One eye is open
Oh, yes, I am watching you
Your cash card in reach.
Hmmm. That explains the charges from Amazon. I can’t wait to see what arrives.
Dang cat. I don't know how many times I've asked her not to use my computer. A person could bounce a check or two, and I get spam from Nigeria and Libya for weeks afterward...
Still. I'm glad to see that she's exploring her creative side.
I left her a haiku of her own on my way out.
Winter's heavy hand
The kitty sleeps on my head
I dream of fur hats.
Dang cat.

Lily is my dog
I often use her body
As a hot, foot muff.
Good dog.
Clever kitty...perhaps you should get her a separate card, with a low limit.
Or at least teach her how to use one of those little vacuums so she can clean the keyboard!
That's why I don't let the cat in by the computer, at least, not the one in the office.
There's no telling what he would do.
At least, he can't open the laptop...at least, I don't think he can.
My favorite haiku is still:
Haiku are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator
Sardines are yummy.
My empty food bowl mocks me
Weeping for sardines.
You have to change the password on your computer or you will have a CATastrophe.
Just between me and you Pearl, I taught Liza Bean Bitey (of the Minneapolis Biteys) everything ... including the dirty tricks ... she knows via MSN chats!
Kitty cat uses brains
Sardines have vacated the bowl
Enter the world of stomach acid.
Well, to be completely honest, your cat writes much better haikus than I do.
seems like you could use some of steve martin's kitty handcuffs...
cuz you need them now...
good luck!

My cat enjoys using the laptop, too. So far he hasn't come up with anything as sophisticated as your cat.
Mornin'Pearl. I do enjoy reading about the girls exploits...especially from afar.
Wee hirsute felines
Create nasal juggernauts
Pass the Benedryl

Shedding pygmy lump
Substantial itchy eyelids
Friggin'cat again
But don't get me started. Oh great - now I'll be doing haikus in my head all day. Thanks a lot.
My cat is lickin the computer screen. Does that count?
Thank you for stopping by my blog .
You are funny and your blog is very entertaining.
In fact I like you so I'm following,
...and your kitty too
It will be interesting to see what the UPS guy brings . . . a new collar? Spy equipment? Who knows with Liza Bean....
I always have to read your posts aloud to my husband. He especially enjoys Liza Bean Bitey (of the Minneapolis Biteys.).
nice haiku :)
Very nicely evil. Loved it.
The Minneapolis Biteys are known to be rather literary.
Just make sure to continue fostering and supporting the cat's creative endeavors. Otherwise she may kill you in your sleep.
I'm starting to wonder if the cat isn't a pseudonym for "Pearl is very drunk today". But she does produce fabulous haiku!
The haikus are most assuredly the handiwork of Liza Bean Bitey (of the Minneapolis Biteys), but the food on your computer was left by Dolly Gee Squeakers (formerly of the Humane Society Squeakers). I know this because Dolly was chatting to my cat(Blossum) on Facebook late last night. For hours it was nothing but furious keyboard clicking mixed with obnoxious whiskered giggling. Who can sleep with that going on?
So annoying!

a Cat & Mouse Story!
I have tried changing my password or pin number but that doesn't stop the Amiral at all. I think he has a hacker friend in Russia, a Comrade Russian Blue, who gets him all the information he needs that gives him unrestricted access to my acounts. It could be worse. He is not really a cat toy kind of feline so I am not getting boxes of those but I am on the 'Mouse of the Month' club. When those come I just heat them in the microwave and let him take the whole box downstairs and open it himself. I have to admit he is always respectful in terms of remains clean up so I really shouldn't bitch. I just wish he would take some time for me and order us both up some nice Ukrainian mail order bride and her female kitty. I can never get myself to push that SEND button. He got fixed a long time ago forever so he has not got the 'proper' motivations.
such a smart kitty
Cat is companion
life is joyous and full
Wallet is empty
Yeah, I stick at Haiku but I am no cat.
Liza Bean Bitey
Is, yes, a naughty one, but
She's the cat's meow.
Windows open
the cat sits
undisturbed
Old house,
even cats walking make
you groan.
Be glad it was just a cat, and not a grade school aged boy who thought it would be fun to "pretend" to order Legos from Lego.com.
And always be thankful for banks that call and ask, "Mrs. BFG, did you purchase $1,473.56 worth of Legos?" Because that answer is, no.
One loves felines!

If it were my cat she would have ordered snow boots. She loves the outside!
The bad bad kitty
Will lose her milk and tuna
She will sleep outside
LAY ONE FINGER ON HER AND I"LL BREAK YOUR HAND!!

I am just teasing you pearl, but look! rochere's chocolates, on the porch
You are hilarious!
Just the cat knowing that you know, is sometimes enough. At least until you leave the house...
What is next for Liza Bean Bitey? Limericks? Then onto sonnets?
Haiku writing is
a trick, I just make it rhyme
like a limerick
Good blog post by cat
Doc Seuss said it lived in hat

Pearl..I've been on hiatus but I'm back. I'm slowly getting back into the blogging groove with entries that are definitely rough around the edges..but I'm back.
And thank God I am because Holy Hell have I missed you blogs.
You've made me laugh out loud a few times tonight. Thank you. :)
I love Liza Bean. She is your perfect alter-ego. I think she's got a book in her meowing to get out.
Pearl, can you check yur email? Wondering if a certain date will work for the thing. Latah gatah. TOWPy
P.S...Happy 29th! TOWPy
Dont overdo it Liza

"Vacancies at Cats' Home"
Oh Liza Bean!! I've missed her :) I remember the piece I wrote about her and wonder, "Who got in my head to write that????"
My own dear little Bali, our b&w miracle, is curled up next to me....he and Liza? A right pair....
