Conghratulations Valsa on sharing the top win in this contest with a pleasing senyru on your cat. Milk is the favourite of most cats and most of them are attracted by its smell. Wishing you a cheerful upcoming weekend.

Congratulations, Dear Valsa. Cats are so cute and funny! Of course milk cans are empty when they are around!

Your haiku has a clear image and a light-hearted tone; it excels in all aspects and achieves its goal of creating a clear and appealing scene. Best wishes for the contest
