Like a feline shiver

I slipped and the bucket was there, ready, innocent and calm.

Now all my fur is soaked in water. It’s as if the freezing humidity penetrated under my skin, a sensation I can’t ignore. The cold shakes my soul, forces me to arch my back and tense every muscle in my body.

And then, the shiver.

An irresistible impulse runs through me, I shake all my fur, from muzzle to tail, an uncontrolled dance to free myself of this unbearable sensation.

But the water doesn’t disappear so easily. Little drops fly all around.
