A Gentle First Tap

Everything was quiet. I blinked softly and realized the warmth around me was real. Leaning back against two puffy white pillows, I gave a gentle wiggle to my small paws. They moved. Slowly, with careful balance, I reached forward and lightly pressed the tip of my paw against the folded patterned sheet beneath me. It yielded with a tiny, soft rustle. I tilted my head, listening intently, then sat back quietly into the cozy corner of pillows, smiling at the gentle hush of the morning.
