The Quilt Moved. Two Sleepy Faces Slowly Popped Out of It.

Morning has arrived, and the quilt isn't ready to let go of its two occupants. An orange tabby peers out from the folds with sleepy amber eyes, his whiskers still pressed flat against the fabric. Beside him, the golden puppy named Biscuit has barely opened one eye, his nose resting on the edge of the blanket. The quilt is stitched in a soft tan pattern and wrapped around them like a nest.

Many pets love burrowing under blankets. For cats, it recalls the feeling of a snug den, and the warmth holds in their body heat. Puppies are often just as keen on being tucked in, especially if they are used to sleeping close to their littermates. If your pet likes to burrow, a cave-style bed or a soft blanket can give the same cozy comfort.

Check that your pet can easily get out from under any covers, and avoid heavy blankets for very young puppies and kittens. Wash bedding regularly to keep it fresh and cut down on dust, fur, and fleas.

Waking up slowly is an art form, and these two have mastered it. Neither is in any rush to start the day. The quilt is warm, the company is good, and the morning can wait a few more minutes. It is a slow, soft start that most of us could use more often.
