A Cozy Night Nook

I wiggled away from the water dish on the windowsill and padded back to the living room rug. Resting near the brass base of the floor lamp was a thick, folded wool blanket with soft braided fringes along its edge. I gave the plump weave a gentle pat with both stubby paws, then pushed my tummy right into a warm, shadowy crease between the folds. The yarn gave way with a slow, cushy creak, cupping my round middle in the softest hug. Resting my chin over the fringed border, I watched the golden lamp glow wash gently over the carpet, perfectly snug for the night.
