And before you know it, you'll be waking up tomorrow. feeling rested and refreshed. Our story tonight is called Cat Nap. And it's a story about Marmalade the cat and Crumb the dog as they find ways to play through the winter.

It's also about the spark of something sweet that begins to grow between friends. a pup cup enjoyed on a heated patio, and a suitcase ready to be packed. Now, switch off your light, set down anything you've been looking at, snuggle down into your sheets, and pull your comforter up over your shoulder. You are safe. There's nothing you need to remember or stay on top of. You can let everything go.

Take a slow, deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Again, bring it in. Out with sound. Good. Cat nap. Marmalade was dozing in her spot by the window. She'd been too small to climb up to it that first winter when I found her, a tiny orange kitten out in the snow. But the following autumn,

The first day the boiler had kicked on and the radiators began to circulate warmth, she'd discovered it. A broad, flat shelf built over the radiator and right beside a big picture window. She could lay her soft belly against the wood and feel the heat rising up. as she looked out at the birds and the branches. Pure kitty heaven.

Plus, and I think this was a big plus, Crum couldn't reach her there. Crum, my little brown dog with a snaggletooth and a lion's mane of delightfully disheveled fur, adored marmalade. He brought her his toys and waited for her at dinnertime, shifting excitedly from paw to paw as her plate was set down beside his.

While Marmee frequently pretended not to notice any of this, I saw that they snuggled together under the blanket at night, and that she cleaned his face and ears each day. We were a little family, the three of us, and I loved our life. Crumb and I took walks most days, though lately the icy sidewalks had made them less fun.

I'd bought him booties to protect his paws, which went about as well as you might imagine. He'd stood at the door, alternating between shaking out each leg and freezing in place, as if we were playing red light, green light. We'd made it about twenty feet down the sidewalk, before we'd abandoned the whole idea. and since then waited for dry days to go on walks.
