Cat Haiku

Deborah Coates. Warner Books, $13.95 (144pp) ISBN 978-0-446-67750-9

Domestic cats and kittens have always composed verse, but much of their work has yet to be translated from the original feline and Meow. Humorist Deborah Coates has come to the rescue with 150 Cat Haiku, accompanied with cute faux-Japanese line drawings: ""Surprise! I can jump/ Through the newspaper while you/ Are still reading it!"" (Sept.)
