Smokey and the Red Ball
By Tee M.


In a garden where flowers bloom like brushstrokes and sunlight glows like melted gold, lives a little kitten named Smokey.

Smokey isn’t your ordinary fluffball. With a coat like midnight fire—ink-black fur streaked with hints of ember and copper—and those luminous green eyes that seem to hold a thousand secret meadows, he’s more like a dream given form. A whisper of mischief. A flicker of feline magic.

But ask anyone who knows him and they’ll tell you—Smokey’s heart belongs to one thing: his little red ball.

It isn’t fancy. Just a small, worn toy tucked between blossoms and curiosity. But to Smokey, it’s everything. His treasure. His muse. His forever companion.

Every morning, before the dew has dried, you’ll find him batting it gently across the flower-painted floor, tail flicking, eyes wide with joy. It’s his dance of delight, a game he plays with the world. And when he tires, he curls around it like a dragon guarding a ruby—soft purring filling the silence with contentment.

Some say Smokey is chasing more than a ball. Maybe he’s chasing wonder. Maybe he’s reminding us that happiness isn’t always loud or complicated. Sometimes, it’s small and red and rolls just right.

So here’s to Smokey.
To wide eyes and wild hearts.
To fur-tufted joy and the simple magic of a red ball.
