My Cat Found a Sumo Wrestler on the Floor

My Cat Found a Sumo Wrestler on the Floor The rug is shaped like a sumo wrestler, and the cat has draped his chin over the wrestler's head. I told him it was a bath mat from the dollar store. He asked if the man on the floor was sleeping. Yes, I said. Is he guarding the house. No, I said. It’s just a rug. The cat stared at the woven belt. He thinks the figure is a sentry who never blinks. He rested his weight there, pinning the guardian down so it couldn't leave its post. He believes the man is holding up the floor.
