A Curious Tap

My ears twitched first. Blink, blink! I tilted my head sideways and pushed against the smooth wooden grain beneath me. Ih! My arms moved on their own. Nearby sat the rim of a pink plastic container. I reached forward and gave the hard plastic edge a quick, curious tap with my soft blue paw. Click! A tiny, sharp sound echoed back. I scrambled slightly closer and propped myself up, staring right at the shiny surface in wonder.
