senryu – every cat = tout les chats every cat has his day... and * catches todaytous les chats ont leur jour... et attrapent aujourd’hui Richard Vallance * Usually, ending a line with a conjunction is a bad idea in a haiku, but I think it works here with the pause preceding, giving pause for thought. Please advise. International Cat Day, August 8 = le Jour international des chats, le 8 août
