A Rolling Challenge

With my belly full, staying cooped up behind the barricade felt too quiet. I set off across the floor to patrol the open gaps, and right near the armchair leg, I ran into an unruly red rubber ball. It was just sitting there, taking up path space. I lowered my head and gave it a solid shove with my snout. The bouncy thing immediately wobbled and rolled straight into the side of my leg! I planted all four clawed feet firmly, swung my spiked tail, and batted it cleanly into the shadow under the chair. Nothing gets past my guard.
