A Cozy Night Nest

My paws carried me past the sofa, padding silently across the rug toward a big, open woven basket under the side table. It was overflowing with rolled-up fleece blankets! I lunged forward, scrambling up the side, but the edge tipped with a gentle creak and dumped me nose-first right into the center of a red plaid throw. Whoosh! Soft fluff swallowed me entirely. I wriggled my hind legs, kicking and spinning in place until I carved out a perfect, snug bowl right in the middle. Peeking my chin out over the soft woolly ridge, I gave a satisfied huff. The whole shadowy room looked quiet, and this spot was made just for snoozing.
