A Gentle Uncurling

The warmth under my paws felt deep and quiet. Leaning back against the soft pillow with purple butterflies, I realized my front paw could twitch. Slowly, without rushing, I pressed down against the furry red blanket. It gave way just a little. Next to me, the calico cat plush remained still and silent. I gave a tiny, careful shift to settle comfortably into the nook, watching the gentle light around us.
