Claiming the Fleece Cave

My round base was dragging, but my mission was clear! I wriggled back underneath the door crack and spotted a fluffy shelter right on the rubber mat—a massive, plush fleece slipper! I didn't hesitate. I launched forward, wedged my front straight into the toe opening, and shoved with all my stuffing! Squeeze, wiggle, burrow! The lining hugged tight, trapping wonderful toasty air all around my seams. I squirmed until only my tail poked out into the cool entryway draft. Absolute conquest! I found the softest fortress in the entire apartment!
