A Cozy Night's Rest
I slipped back inside through the porch door as night settled, happy to return home after my day along the cafe street. Climbing up onto the plush living room sofa, I spotted an old wooden bookmark carved like a sleeping cat lying forgotten on the hard armrest, tipped precariously on its thin edge. It looked so chilly out in the open! Padded over to the nearby basket, I retrieved a clean, knitted wool mug cozy. Holding the soft fabric with both paws, I gently guided the wooden cat right into the warm, stretchy sleeve until only its rounded ears poked out. Now it rests safe and snug for the night.
