    I think you need to explain what you mean by expanding the haiku, that might clear up any syllable confusion,

    As for the content, I feel you have captured the character of a cat really well, they will go after anything wont they?
    I like how you used bat and rat, basically covers the floor and sky.

    Short, fun, and excellent

  • I have a Siamese and no matter how much you feed her, she's ALWAYS hungry.
    Lucky she's very quick and very smart. (:

    This is such a cute poem! Simple, but effective.

    Lol this is pretty cool,

    I like the syllable count as well as the rhymes at the end. Pretty genius in my opinion.

    My only suggestion is to delete the (haiku part on the tittle. A haiku, if I'm not mistaken, is a poem with less than 20 syllables.. There can be different variations.. Etc. Any who, I like this piece.
