Haiku by Cat: Prey
Tweet
Today’s haiku is by Dawn.
You can always tell when a cat has spotted her prey. When she is on the hunt. When something is going to get got.
The pupils dilate, creating large round circles of impending doom.
When I see that expression on any of my cats’ faces, it triggers an atavistic part of my brain that is instantly afraid. Of course, it is at that moment I am quite grateful that I am not on the receiving end of the death stare—and am glad I outweigh them by at least a factor of twelve.
In the case above, I’m also happy that the target of Dawn’s potential pounce is a non-sentient sock. A worthy object for a hunt, and one that this cat mom knows will not result in someone’s regrettable demise.
What do your pets like to “hunt?”
