🎨 How to color it

Color the cat’s fluffy coat cream with pale gray shadows, the woven basket honey brown, the paisley blanket teal and coral, and the two potted plants fern green. Use sharp colored pencils for the basket weave, fern fronds, fur lines, and tiny blanket flowers, then switch to softer strokes on the window and floorboards. Try a gentle sunset glow in the window panes so the cat’s cream fur looks extra warm against the cool plants.

At the window corner, Liora tucked her tail around her paws and began her private challenge: count three sunstripes before supper. The basket smelled of dry reeds and warm dust. One stripe slid across the floorboards. The second touched the blanket’s curly flowers. For the third, Liora needed a marker, so she stepped out, whiskers brushing the cool air beneath the curtain.

She padded to the fern pot for one fallen frond. The leaves tickled her nose, and a tiny moth fluttered up with a papery whisper. Liora waited, very still, while it found the plant’s shadow. Waiting cost her the warm hollow she had saved in the basket.

When she carried the frond back, the third stripe had already arrived, soft as butter on the blanket. “Slow is still a way,” she purred. She laid the frond beside it and curled in, warmer than before; if you search the basket’s edge, you may find the place where Liora counted three sunstripes.
