Lazy Afternoon

 What is your favorite way to spend a lazy day?

Today is a slow day. I concluded my patrol early, finding nothing significant to report. That was a shame. I had hoped for a fresh meal.

I move into the rec room and jump onto the bedding by the window. This is my favorite spot.

I am alone for the day, so the room is silent. I can faintly hear the outdoors from the window.

I stare out and watch the songbirds hopping along branches. I watch the trees rustling in the wind. The clouds lazily move across the sky. I do not exactly know when, but I eventually doze off.

...

I hear a car approaching, and immediately jerk awake. I jump down, and walk to the front door at a quick pace. I sit down, and wait for the door to open.

"I'm home, kitty-cat! Were you good?" 

I rub up against his legs to confirm that, yes, I am very good at my job.
