1. Evocative scene
Indoor cat eyes outdoor bird
What is he thinking?

What's the structure of a haiku again? :shrug: Actually, I just wanted to say that's an awesome picture...

2. How about these?
Kitteh on the stove
Wonders how to get outside
Quiet pondering

Opposable thumbs
Needed to open the door
To go chase that bird

Seriously, that is a beautiful--and haunting--picture. :hi:

5. I'm a terrible human being.
The cat thinks smugly
'These guys will soon be dinner
While I get to live.'
