Cat Haiku Contest #1

This is the first of a series of cat haiku contests that will run on LiveLikeACatDay.com and we thought this photo of Neko in a hammock would be a good way to start. As a refresher, a haiku is a 3 line Japanese poem. The first line has 5 syllables, second line has 7 and the third line has 5. For a more in depth course on how to write a haiku, read this article on eHow.
Leave your haiku entry for this picture in the comments. Best haiku wins a surprise prize.

Cat is relaxing
As he thinks of a haiku
Sleep now write later

Orange cat squinty eyes
Too big for furry hammock?
Or is it slingshot?

Saturday morning
The sun warms my whiskers up
Oh, For an hour more

Warm, I snuggle in
Almost to sleep, my eyes close
Aah, my whiskers droop.

Cat sits in hammock
It sags from way too much weight
Maybe I should diet?

You cannot see me,
My camouflage is too good.
I’ll pounce on your foot.
