A Gentle Tap

The room was warm and quiet. I blinked softly into the dim light... listening to the gentle hum of the house. Then, my little paw shifted on its own. I tilted my head, curious, and carefully reached out to touch the smooth, cool cup resting beside me. It clinked faintly under my fur. I drew back, snuggling back into the plush cushion, content to simply sit and feel alive.
