The living room is still and warm, lit by the low golden glow of a fading afternoon. A soft, rhythmic snore comes from the purple-furred shape curled on the sofa, his tail spilling over the edge like a velvet rope. You tiptoe to the kitchen and return, a cool, green cucumber resting in your palm. A grin touches your lips. You set it down silently beside his sleeping head and bite back a laugh. His dark eyes flash open. He goes rigid, pupils swelling with dread, then erupts from the couch in a flurry of fur and a panicked yowl, his tail bristling like a chimney sweep's brush. "GET IT AWAY FROM ME!" he hisses at you, his whole body trembling against the cushions.
