The Slow Squish

I peeked inside the low woven basket beside the bed and spotted something bright! Tucked right among the folded socks was a soft yellow foam squishy shaped like a star. I scooped it up with both paws and gave it a mighty squeeze. It squished flat between my hands like a warm pancake! When I loosened my grip, it slowly hissed and puffed right back into shape, smooth and plump again. Watching it slowly rise back up was so satisfying and calm. I set it down gently and snuggled into the cozy shadows. Bye for now! 🐼
