Holiday Hairball Haiku

Spunk helped us un-bag Christmas stuff. He also decided to try his paw at kitty Haiku.

Hack, hack a hairball
This fine and Christmassy day
Chukka, yukka, Uk

A sparrow’s feathers
Freshly regurgitated
Grass freshly eaten’

A better gift none
For the human that I love
Watching where you step

  1. What a loveable, angelic face, that Spunk! Hairballs or not! I can see he has you and Laurie wrapped around his fuzzy little paw. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

    How are all the snakes doing? We haven’t seen any snake pictures in a while. Do they sense the winter season even though they are indoor pets?

    • Thanks, Lavinia! The Boa is really happy. I upgraded the heating and added basking spots in her cage, so she has lots of options, and seems to use all of them daily. As a tropical snake, she can only deal with mild temperature changes, and if it gets too cold she will develop a respiratory infection.

  2. Spunk is such a pretty cat. Your posts about him always make me smile (even though I’m not personally a fan of furballs, but hey, regurgitation happens πŸ™‚ )

  3. Love that Spunk! Love all your kitties. But Spunk certainly livened things up in the Price kittyland.
    The images are great.

  4. Spunk is adorable and looks just like my Whispers. How your post brought smiles to my face. Aren’t those fur balls just lovley? I usually get at least one the day of or the next day after I just shampooed my rug. LOL (((HUGS))) Amy

    • Thanks, Amy! I have to watch my step. But then sometimes they leave one in the wee hours of the morning. I think the kitties find my reaction to the bare-footed discovery in the darkness to be rather funny.

      • OH, I am laughing, for I too have had those kind of experiences as I stumble my way to the bathroom during the night. Yuck! That gets my attention real fast. I swear my cats KNOW the path my feet take and deliberately up chuck IF they have some kind of “beef” with me. LOL True. xx Amy

  5. Adorable. I know you’ve been through a lot with your cats… and i know too well how painful that is. So on behalf of my feline friends, i commend you and thank you for being such a good kitty parent.
    Aspen would be eating the plastic bag… I don’t know what the attraction is…
    Otherwise, kitties and bags or boxes — irresistible combination! Meowy Catmouse and a Happy New Year! 🐱
