A Dollop of Cream

I scampered back indoors as night fell, eager for a cozy perch after my chilly brick-step adventures. Right on the nightstand's lower shelf, I discovered a shallow glazed ceramic saucer holding a clean, fluffy white cotton pad. It was round and plush, looking remarkably like a generous dollop of sweet whipped cream! I hoisted myself over the smooth ceramic rim and used both paws to pat the center into a neat, snug hollow. Nestling right into the soft fibers, I let out a contented sigh and watched the quiet shadows dance along the wooden grain.
