Every afternoon, after the floor smelled like lemon soap, Junie rolled the yarn back into its basket and tucked the empty cat bed straight against the wall. She liked the quiet swish of the rug under her knees and the soft blink of sleepy cats. Until one day, the raspberry yarn ball gave a tiny hop. “Did you do that?” Junie whispered.
Because of that, she followed the loose thread around the rug, past the bed, and under the shelf. Because of THAT, a small gray kitten stepped out with yarn looped around one paw, purring like a little motorboat. The thread had been pointing to the one cat too shy to meow. Junie scooped him close, and his purr buzzed right into her sweater. Next time you see the yarn curl behind them, can you trace the path that brought the quiet kitten out after the floor smelled like lemon soap?
