Scaling the Ridge

Up! The seat cushion was far too low. I hooked my yellow paws right over the firm woven armrest and kicked my long legs upward. Scramble, tug, reach! My plush knees bumped the frame, but I pulled harder—whoosh! With one big heave, I hauled myself onto the narrow crest of the backrest. The entire floor spreads out like a vast sea below! The slippers look like tiny floating boats down there. I wrapped my arms snugly around my legs to steady my balance on the ridge. Everything looks grander from the heights!
