Product Description

Product Description
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.

From the Publisher
A quirky and clever collection of beautifully illustrated haiku written from the elusive 'cat's eye' viewpoint - a wonderful book for cat-lovers everywhere --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wise, revealing and very very funny, 9 Mar 2004
By John David Charles Hilton "Creative spark...." (Redcliffe, Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cat Haiku (Paperback)
This wonderful little book is a real gem. The short Haiku form is used to excellent effect here, with jewel after jewel of pithy wisdom. It is pretty much a must buy for all cat lovers, and is good poetry in itself anyway. The humour is varied but mostly delicate and frequently understated. A wonderful little book. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful little book, 18 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book is great for anyone who knows cats well. The poems really do capture the way they behave just beautifully, it's very cleverly done. I would definitely give it as a gift as it's a nicely presented little hardback.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like cats you'll love this!, 9 Oct 2001
By A Customer
I'd never seen a book like this before but am a bit of a cat obsessive. A haiku is a 3 line poem with 5 sylables in the first line, then 7, then 5 again, and these are all about cats! They describe what cats might be thinking and if you have cats of your own you will recognise plenty.
