<center> 寝て起て大欠して猫の恋 *nete okite oakubi shite neko no koi* <br> sleeping then waking then a big yawn the cat goes out in search of love —Issa <br> (trans. David LaSpina[^1]) </center> [^1]: That is, me! If you like this translation, feel free to use it. Just credit me. Also link to this post or to my Peak profile page. <center> ![](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dbooster/Ep3gj4nT76bo4yzjD2i4ekdNs3EVixDVbg31jed83Mp8hkbpsohu7k7nyYfHQSajQEx.jpg) <sub>("Cat with Bell" by Shotei Takahashi)</sub> </center> If you've been keeping up with my haiku posts, it may come as no surprised that Issa was a cat lover. He loved all creatures, of course, but like most of us he had a special love for cats; among all his haiku, he wrote over a hundred haiku on cats, many of them on cat courting habits, such as the one above. Now, in fairness, *neko no koi*, cat love, is a spring *kigo*, so this is a common haiku theme that many haiku poets make use of; still, it's one that Issa returned to time and again. I'd say that equals cat lover. <center><h1>❦</h1><br></center> ||| |--|--| |![Hi there](http://68.media.tumblr.com/9ed59bcbc3d0c81b382b0df883f91773/tumblr_inline_ni2uuza1ku1qz4uph.jpg)|[David LaSpina](https://hive.blog/about/@dbooster/about-david-laspina-v1-2) is an American photographer and translator lost in Japan, trying to capture the beauty of this country one photo at a time and searching for the perfect haiku.|
