#232: pugnacious

one pugnacious pup
would be nicely sliced and diced
yet cat's retracted
Picture
This cat has 18 more razors than that half-his-size pup... don't piss him off. 

We have two cats — Jazze, a big male, and Bijou, a lightning-quick female. They're cautious, but pretty cool with dogs. 

Even being super careful, I have my share of scars from cat claws when just playing around. I can't even imagine the pain of being fully attacked by a house cat, let alone an 800 lb, 11-foot-long tiger!!


DEFINITION of this 3-syllable adjective:
  1. inclined to quarrel or fight readily; quarrelsome; belligerent; combative.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
