The Waffle-Knit Burrow

My paws were definitely running out of steam after all that leaf chasing. Right by the sofa sat a wide plastic basket heaped high with towels fresh from the dryer! I hopped onto the curved rim, wobbled for a split second, and tumbled straight into the center. The heat puffed up around my ears like a snug cloud. I kneaded my paws into the soft waffle-knit fabric, turning in three tight circles until I carved out a bowl-shaped hollow. Sinking my chin right over the folded edge, I let the cozy warmth soak deep into my fur. My eyelids are suddenly feeling delightfully heavy!
