Meowvelous Monday Haiku: Chirp the sound of Spring
The snow has just melted and rain showers have halted for now. The cats and humans are hopeful we can finally put away the winter clothes and say hello to flowers in a few weeks.
There are no buds on the vine yet but in a few weeks, the catio should be surrounded by a delicate curtain of green laced with pink and white leaves. There is no backdrop more calming than that. I hand you over to Sly Pie who seemed to rejoice to be in his happy places, the tunnels.
Hi there, I’m Sly Pie and I’m presenting this week’s Meowvelous Monday Haiku. I have to tell you how excited I am that the white stuff has disappeared for good. Well, I cannot say “for good” because it seems to return every time after the leaves fall. I wonder if that’s because the Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle as it revolves around the sun. Mmmm, I don’t know about that. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t listen to Mr. Jack and his tall tales!
As I sprinted through the bare tunnels, I imagined the lush green canopy of vine leaves tickling my ears as I walked by. I could hear the sweet trickle of a fountain somewhere between the flower pots. I could hear the buzz of the little fluffy things with yellow stripey jackets that fly around my catnip bush. They’re alright because the Lady Cat says our planet cannot exist without them. This Summer I’d like to ask him how does he purr like that!
But in reality, there is no buzz in the air, there is no trickling stream.
Just the insolent tweets from the birds in the tree, always teasing, always taunting.
But with the melting of the snow, there were some interesting relics uncovered from last Fall. Some were the leaves the lazy humans had left in my condo. I also found some windswept pieces of the lemongrass. And Scout found her “mouse in sheep’s clothing” fluffy toy that was hibernating in the snow all winter.
Sometimes it’s the little surprises like these that make my #catworldproblems seem minuscule in comparison. They keep my paws grounded as I patiently wait for all the sweet things to come.
I shall sit here in the tunnel and wait for the Earth to complete its full revolution around the sun so that I can have my catnip and watch my friends in yellow stripey jackets pollinate our world!
Happy Earth day furriends!
Tell me, what are the good things you are looking forward to?
Happy Earth Day! You’ll be enjoying nice spring days soon!
Beautiful Earth Day post!
Thank you 🙂
We are looking forward to adopt a new brother cat for our family …..
Beautiful post ¡¡¡
Marcos, Bagheera and Dulce …waiting to Suerte ¡¡¡
Oh My Cat! That is amazing, a new fur brother! Remember kitties, you’re allowed a few hisses, but then give plenty of licks and purrs to the new kid. I hope Suerte brings you much luck and happiness!
Happy Earth Day and it seems you will be enjoying Springtime!
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs, Spike William

Hi Sly Pie! You kitties are SO lucky to have a catio! Mommy says we can’t have one. We live on the third floor and she says that’s way too high to be hanging over the ground! We disagree.
Oh no! But I guess you have plenty of cat trees to watch over Mommy!
We are finally getting warm spring weather here too

Your catio is just the best! At least my cats can go outside in ours, but they’re so jealous of yours! Another round of perfect haikus, too! Hope that snow stays away.

Thanks! We got some frost yesterday, I hope it’s the last of it!
Mew Mew hellos, Sly Pie! Your tunnels look so-o much fun. I sure would luv having tunnels of my very own someday.
I often wonder, like you, why the “fluffy things with yellow stripey jackets” try to imitate our purrs. It won’t be long now before they start showing up in your yard for spring. They have been visiting the flowering Rhodies Mom has planted in her flower beds and the Camas bulbs with their purple blooms. She calls them her “fat boys” and is always happy to see them buzzing around. Tee hee hee.

Hah ha that’S so funny she calls them her fat boys. We love watching them around here and we hope they come back this year. But we are getting a lousy Spring and the garden still has not bee completed because it rains so much. Sigh!
