A Gentle Squeeze

I nudged the heavy sliding screen door open just enough to feel the fresh outdoor breeze. The opening looked a bit narrow, so I paused, carefully testing the smooth frame with one padded paw. Deciding to try, I eased forward. My rounded belly compressed gently against the frame with a soft vinyl squeak, bouncing back smoothly as I eased through onto the sunny tiled balcony. I made sure my big tail followed safely without catching on the track.
