A Gentle Tap
The room was dim and still. I felt a soft warmth spread through my paws, grounding me on the cool floor. Slowly, I flexed my front toes, feeling the hard ridges of the curved plastic track beneath me. A small green toy engine rested just out of reach. Curious, I leaned forward, gave a low, deliberate meow, and extended one paw to nudge its plastic wheel. It clicked softly, rolling an inch forward before settling into stillness once more.
