Spot the potato.
Where I sleep: couch; cushions soft yet firm, good for curling or stretching; cushion covers grainy and ecru, fur-infested; couch frame woody and tightly woven, good for sharpening claws; overall effect comfortable, encourages nodding, snoozing, drifting off, sleeping deliberately.
What I sleep for: for… naught.

is sleepy let him go to sleep”

Do cats have navels?

Watch with much interest as people board the neighborhood bus.
Cool paws and forehead against the window pane.
Groom.
Yawn at girl attempting to make conversation.
Rest weary soul. Dream.
For tomorrow may rain, so.
