A cat's sleeping warmth,
curled tight against my stomach,
small furnace breathing.

My idea of warmth! love it
"A small furnace breathing" is spot on. This is how I feel about my super senior cat, a 17-year-old Mainecoon mix. He purrs super loud and is the perfect winter snuggle buddy.
Beautifully-crafted Tim!
Awww, that's so sweet. Loved your Haiku!
