@inceptionkitties I am introducing my kitties via haiku! This was a fun rabbit hole - I ended up reading the entire Wikipedia article about haiku and what other elements are traditionally present (aside from the syllables per line, which incidentally is just a suggestion, and you will note one of my lines has an extra syllable!). I didn't end up incorporating any seasonal words (kigo) into these haiku, but the second one does have a kireji, or cutting word. Somewhat untraditional, though, to put it in the first line rather than the middle or end. On to the haikus (and obligatory cat photos)!

soft old man sleeping
comfortably next to me
warm, cozy marshmallow
Calamity Jane
Running! Leaping! Bite!
Fierce, brave kitty rolls over
shows me her belly
Bonus: sometimes they actually like each other
