A Sudden Squeak

Blink! Big ears flick. Left, then right! I sit on soft cream fabric. Cold air tickles my nose. I poke the cushion beneath my feet—pumf! It sinks! Both paws smack down flat. *Ih!* A tiny squeak pops out of my mouth! I try again, digging claws gently into the padded folds. Sinking, springing back up. Alive! Real alive!
