Squishy Nest

I trotted back inside through the door flap, belly full of maple and ears ringing with tiny music box bells! Everything in the living room was quiet and shadowy. Up on the big couch sat a thick, knobby fleece throw blanket folded like an accordion. Stitch dug paws into the squishy folds and tunneled straight into the middle! I kicked with my hind feet until the blanket puffed up into a warm, lumpy fortress. Found a loose woolen tassel, tugged it with my teeth, and curled into a tight blue ball. Softest cave in the universe!
