Evening Beats

I noticed a big black headphone cord snaking down from the low wooden audio shelf onto the carpet! The padded ear cups were resting flat against the floor, but the cord had coiled itself into a tight knot around the leg of the stand. I wedged my nose under the thick black cable, gave a determined backward tug with both paws firmly planted, and pulled the loose loop straight through. The knot popped free with a soft snap! I gently rested my front paws across the plush faux-leather cushion of the ear cup, feeling the smooth cool surface against my fur as the quiet evening settled in.
