Superb/Imaginative/Fun
Aye, just like the fisherman tales. A very fine write indeed. Being owned by a cat, I can relate to this quite well. Thanks for sharing this one. -
A Cat tail and cat tale haiku-chain--How cute, especially being that cats are my most favorite of themes for haiku.
Now I could go on-and-on relating my own cat tales to you, especially about the time I shut the window down on my prissy-cat's tail, but I won't.
Instead I'll thank you for this entry to the contest, Gran! I appreciate.
Jo
