Fish are friends, not food
But frankly, felines and fins?
Far from a fine fit
Tanks a million, Maria N.

Poor little wet cat
Is that the jaws theme I hear?
Hope you can swim fast!
omg…poor kitty! Way too cute. Thanks for the smile, Mike!
“Felines and Fins” is
Similar to “Cats ‘n’ Racks,”
Only much wetter.
Be careful kitteh!
Teh orunj wuns r poyzun…
Oh, wait. So are you.
He must have a really fluffy coat, look at how much water he soaked up!
i have a book with this picture on the cover…”cats behaving badly” I believe it’s called? very cute book and this is a very cute kitteh
But a wet butt
was ever thus
poor Puss.
Sorry I still can’t get a handle on Haikus
LOL! I’ve had this happen before.
Cat in the Hat?
No, the cat’s in the tank.
Cat & fish – freaked.
Kitty has now realized that “proper planning” doesn’t always result in “proper execution” of the plan.
oooh! Bonus points for excellent alliteration!
aww, sad kitty…
and i found a cute overload reference in a guest comic at Dork Tower
Distress all around
Wet cat and frightened fish
Not a happy friday
Soggy wet bottom
The Hunt did not go as planned
Damn fish…stop laughing
@HonGlad…do what I do…count out the syllables on your fingers. 5-7-5.
@anonymous…HILARIOUS strip. Thanks for sharing!
Fish look innocent
but are dreaming of dinner
cat a l’orange?
And of course some nimrod is taking a photo instead of helping the poor kitty….
Getting your sealegs
Trying to be a catfish
You’re doing it wrong!!
Looks like Two Lumps is doing the Friday Haiku thing too.
@cindy , do you use tidy with mozzila to look your blog source?
It’s Ralph and Alice
Alone in their little world
Blind to the danger
Splash? You’re hearing things.
I warned you about it, Ralph.
To the moon, Alice!
cat paw reaches out;
goldfish swims a bit deeper -
clouds across the sun
YES! 100 points to Lindr for The Honeymooners reference!
When we said “Feed us”
We weren’t expecting so big
And so furry. Pleh!
Bravo, Suzanne.
Poor kitty is wet.
Fish regarding self in glass
Will not be captured.
(Counting like mad, @Suzanne)
My ornj cat, Jasper,
would be taking cop’ius notes
had we a fish tank
I meant to do that!
cats are so dignified so
do not laugh at them
my very first try
at haiku and I suck but
please don’t laugh at me
The foodtank is filled
With unexpected wetness
I hates you foodtank!
In planning his coup
Did not account for wet stuff
Ergo, epic fail
I can haz gold-snackz
Turned, in millisecs to a
I will hez towels
My mama told me
You Better Shop Around – BYE!
Goin’ to next Store
Original plan:
Sneak up, eat them in their sleep
That kinda backfired
Est-ce qu’on peut poster si on ne connait/ comprend comment faire Haiku?
“Where’s the two-legged person owned by le/ la Chat & les poissons? Cet/Cette Chat/Chatte made WAY too much progress in his/her fishin’ expedition !!!”
PS: didja like, the way “fishin’ expedition” rhymes, didja, huh????
Does THAT give me a few points for poetry altho’ ’tisn’t Haiku??????
Marmalade failure
Now all three share the same thought
LETS GET OUT OF HERE!
Ohhhh you all are so good at this. I am not so I just enjoy yours.
@Brinn Four paws Up. Way up!
Maybe not white
But I swear! T’was Moby Dick!
Call Captain Ahab!
Something touched my leg!
Everyone out of the pool!
Eeee! Me First! Me First!
*GASP* Two *GASP* Minutes!
My new record holding bref!
What u think I do?
NOMTOM.. LOL at A team reference.
Yummy people food
gives kitty bubbles inside.
Will share with fishies.
Curiosity
Did not kill the sweet kitty
But it sure soaked him!
Poor little wet cat.
The evil fish pulled him in.
Hey ! that’s not a worm !!
Too funny!
Don’t know what happened
Wishing toes were suction cups
My butt’s not fish food!
@Leslie…gives you beau-coup points for doing it in FRENCH. Tres impressed!
@ceejoe – your first attempt at
haiku very very good
counting fingers helps
Not what it looks like!
Am new poster spokesfeline:
“Hang in there, baby.”
Soak, soak, soak my tail,
Gently in the goldfish tank…
“Merrily,” my ass.
No dignity here
Kitten’s fear is realized
Laughed at on the web
Haiku en franglais?
Les poissons et chat oranges
Sont en eau chaude.
Theo, breeeliahnt.
Time to panic, now
My life hangs in the balance
Must…pull…self…up…ehn.
Silly kitteh cat
Uses his butt as fish bait
Worms are less risky
@ Suzanne : Thx !!!! We try fervently, all these many yrs later !!
@ Dub1: Niiiiiiiice !!!
BTW, the Dork Tower comic re COverload that Anon posted very early above, is akshually quite worthwhile !!! It’s about the whole controv. over Joe Average Guy getting/ not getting the wonderfulness of CuteOverload. Eds: be sure to show it to the Megster !!!!
Another way to look at things, Rhea:
And of course some nimrod is taking a photo instead of helping the poor fish….
I am orange too
I want to join my brothers
But now I am wet
ROTFL at Teho’s latest haiku. Co-workers wondering what is so darn funny.
Way to go [Ed.].
Hilarious, pic and Haikus both!
Please to pardon my poor attempt:
Cat in fish tank thinks…
never mind the stupid fish,
this water is cold!
Fish: “You try to hide
In gold fur. But your swiming
begs credulity.”
Wants sushi right now
Curse ye, water refraction
So not worth the jump
Ren-fest dunking booth
Auditions were not so hot
No Marmies made it.
Wet toe beans do not
give you as much traction as
you think they would — fail.
cindy: yours about the clouds is just splendid….
actually, they are all splendid. i am thinking blankly, where is my blankie?
cat tried CPR
fishies born to breathe water
samaritan wet.
“All I did was wave my pour in the water, I wanted to make friends with the fish, honest, but they’re stronger than they look!… OK maybe I did tell one of them I ate his Mum….”
anonymous : Hello, nice comic reference, made me grin.
I meant to write paws not pours.
they looked so tasty
optical illusion? not
fishies win this one
ply me with shimmer
dunk me like a wet rat
zee fishies clever
godzilla kitteh
attacks helpless sushi-ites
not how he planned it
the big green house plants
makes kitteh think he’s hunting
for tasty gold snacks
african queen? not
finds prey in clear jungle stream
cant bogart these guys
hang in there kitteh!
while i get my camera
-see you on youtube
embarrassed kitteh
your video went viral
thousand hits an hour
talk like a pirate?
get me out of here -meow!
who’s a wet bilge rat?
my brother tricked me
said fish would sit there, not move
wait til I find that guy!
cat-apulted puss
gets wet for all his troubles
wont join the circus
i’m mr (kit) t
b a baracus by name
pity this wet fool!
I am sooooo ashamed!
-for wanting to eat my friends
where’s that parakeet?
darn that putty-tat
your name is not sylvester.
yikes! here comes granny!!
[Good grief -- I hope somebody gives you a beer, or if not, something you'd rather have, for sheer persistence! - Ed.]
Those tempting small and darting fish,
Appear to zip along in flight.
What scrumptious nature of a dish!
Would make their little forms tonight.
But alas, fly they do NOT,
But swim through liquids most unkind
To cats for whom a wa’try blot
Will spark a frenzied lick of hind.
Those devilish little sca’led runts!
For after all my lickings done,
You’ll rue the day you got me wet.
So keep your smiles; enjoy your fun.
For I’ll be back with scuba gear,
Like Cheshire: grinning ear-to-ear.
…darn i messed up one of the rhymes. Oh well >.>
[No big deal. It's the Bs in ABAB that are more important, sez me, and anyway that rhyme was wandering into dangerous territory.
- Ed.]
[Also, HEROIC COUPLET FTW
- Ed.]
greed’s not good
[Um... OK, and neither is cholera
- Ed.]
Hmm… me thinks gillian just tossed her haikus. You’re excused.
Oh hai fishersons
Thought you’d like a close look at
My privacy tail
Kory, I loved your poem, it was wonderful!
They look so tasty.
Just a little jump away.
Splash, foiled again.
Kitty is saying “Ok, I thought I could play with the fishes INSIDE of the fish tank.”
@gillian – I enjoyed your poem! I read it as a whole piece. Very clever and fun to read: “Cata-pulted puss,” and “who’s a wet bilge rat?” LOL
@kory – wonderful sonnet – awesome couplet! So much talent here!
A million from gillian. Three from me:
Moral of the tail
Water, water ev’rywhere
Hairy drops to drink
New use for cat butts!
Why didn’t I think of that,
Cleaning fish tank scum.
Well, see you next *fall*!
You have a nice fishing *trip*!
And *drop* me a line!
[Hehehe - Ed.]
@ Kory: add me, to your fans; esp enjoyed the first set (4 lines).
Aaaaaaand, of course, as ever, Pyrit accumulates 500 points from me (as if I were any legit judge) — esp for your middle section.
Generally I’m enuff of a stick in/ mud, that I get alienated with the use of the term ” butt “; however your cute lines left me enjoying the mischief, instead of feeling indignant.
YAY for kitties, goldfish, haiku, Friday creativity, Kory, Pyrit, Meg ……oh, heck, I guess “Yay for CuteOverload” sums it all up !!!!!!
Always training for the summer olympics
training in whatever pool is available
if not going for the golds, then
the golds comes after you
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr how sweet
i loive it
aww i gots fishys but my kitty never fell in darns it lol that’s way too cute.
…and someone had the camera at the ready…..
Leslie (NTA) – If you were any sweeter, my “middle section” would be quite wide by now.
The thought of an indignant Leslie (NTA) delights me. However, your comment has been duly noted, and I shall henceforth only use “butt” with cutemost care.
OMG I have that exact same photo at home!!!! Someone emailed it to me in April.
And I’m noticing a bit of repetitive de-ja-vu here, cos EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY HAIKU has been about two different species either kissing, hugging or looking ridiculous.
So here’s my haiku poem. Read it as a whole because it continues the story.
In a tank of fish,
Kitty looks ridiculous
Trying to get out.
Tocks are sticking out,
Wiping algae off the glass
Like a tank filter.
“I won’t eat the fish!”
he says, scrab’ling with his paws
This is getting sad.
“Get ‘way from my fish!”
says mum, pulling kitty out
from that cold water.
Now he wants the fish.
Like when it’s cold, you wish
for hot and vice vers.
(Sorry, I had to take out the a in versa to make it fit.
)
@ Pyrit:
(Blushing FURIOUSLY, & feet pointing toward ea. other) “Aw, shucks !!!”
Poor soggy kitty
The embarrassment-it stings
Goldfish are laughing
I wanted to fish
OOPS! forgot my fishing pole.
I’ll just use my paws.
