Initially reading your haiku reminded me to all those now-dead bonsai trees my cats had chomped-on through the years--(For a while my EX had a bonsai-tree hobby, which the cats also enjoyed)!
I like that this haiku does have more relevance than the silly image I came to see through it...and thank you so much for this entry to the contest!
Jo
