Small Spaces

The cat smells danger. He crawls into a small space. Danger smells the cat.

So the the hunter becomes the prey of some kind. A wonderful little turn of events. It makes me only imagine what the danger could be. Thanks for making me think a bit.

Thank you for the comment. The main killer of cats where I live, are owls.

A wonderful, so well crafted Haiku dear Hilda. I love your choice of clever words and the title too. You can so easily visualise the cat hiding away. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you. :):)

Thank you for enjoying the haiku. Cats are born with instincts that protect them. My own cat is very cautious.
