My daughter's cat

Lily

eye stalks close by bird
still, silent, shadow staring -
reflection in glass

Congratulations dear poetess for sharing the top win in this contest with a lovely Senryu on your cat. Most cats are attracted to birds often for prey and sometimes for play, WEish you a cheerful upcoming weekend.

Started reading thinking it was about the flower Lily. Later only I knew it was about your daughter's cat. Cats seem to enjoy shadow staring. Great entry for the contest
