A Midnight Stare-Down

The big fluffy blue cave had toes in it earlier, but now it was just sitting there on the carpet, empty and suspicious! WOOF! I stomped my front feet right in front of it. Nothing. Total silence. So I did what made complete sense: I scooped up a tiny fuzzy felt ball from under the coffee table, hopped backward three times, and ceremoniously dropped it right inside the toe hole like a hidden treasure. Take that, slipper! It didn't even flinch. I let out a satisfied chirp and tapped the heel with my paw.
