Winter night... the cat looks in with hopeful eyes.
Link with 935: Coming inside.
[A friend's cat likes to go outside now and then, even in the winter. When the cat wants back in she will patiently sit in front of the sliding door and look in until someone comes to her rescue.]
Lovely, mine used to sit on the windowsill, then get up from time to time and lean the whole height of his body against the rolling shutter, making a lot noise in this way - in the middle of the night!:)
Beyond the fact that I'm eye doctor or, maybe, because I am :), I do not know something more meaningful than a look... I like very much your poem. Thank you for sharing.
Walked out yesterday morning on the enclosed front deck of our boat, and one of the dock's feral cats was enjoying the warmth of my propane fireplace. Good one Vaughn!!!
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

very cute & clever!

I'm one of those people that think about animals when it's very cold.
Now this is making me feel guilty about the imaginary cat I gave away..... Nice one, Vaughn. :)
my cat is vocal.
and she dances on the sliding glass door and leaves paw prints just like a dog.

my cat wants to be in when she's out and out when she's in
(can't think where she got this restless habit)

Late evening --
a tired, old woman
waiting for her cat.
(I think someone has published similar? Your haiku made me to comment this...)
