A small story / 2026

Coco

She was very small, and then she was here, and the house arranged itself around her.

A warm cartoon portrait of Coco sitting with wide eyes
the fluffiest little supervisor
  1. Anshu holding Coco on the day she arrived, looking down at her
    day one

    The day she arrived. She fit along one forearm and had opinions already.

  2. Coco held up on a kitchen counter, front paws hanging
    unimpressed

    Small enough to be lifted with one hand. Never pleased about it.

  3. Coco sitting on a kitchen floor looking at the camera
    mostly fur

    Most of her was fur. The rest was opinions.

  4. A wet Coco held after a bath, looking indignant
    after a bath

    Wet, half her usual size, and furious about both.

  5. hunting mode

    Twenty-five seconds of stalking something that was not there.

  6. Coco lying on top of a yellow sunflower cat tree
    top of the flower

    The sunflower tower. She only ever used the top petal.

  7. the enemy

    Sixteen seconds of her deciding a foot was the enemy.

  8. Coco sitting upright in a bright green cat bed with an orange toy
    green bed

    The green bed, and the orange toy she never once played with.

  9. Coco sitting on Anshu's shoulder while he works at a desk
    shoulder shift

    She reviewed a lot of code from up there. Approved most of it.

  10. Coco half inside a small tent bed, half sprawled on the floor
    half in, half out

    Her tent. She used roughly forty per cent of it.

  11. Coco tucked between a cushion and a dark blanket, paws forward
    her spot

    Between the cushion and the blanket. Paws out, watching everything.
