Day 10: Pumpkin The Invisible Cat. She only leaves her cat cave to eat, drink, and use the litter box after I have gone to bed. Last night, she was a little braver and slept for a few hours behind the chair in my bedroom. #slowprogress #scardycat #rescueismyfavouritebreed #top100canadianwomenwriters

Pumpkin, The Invisible Cat. Rarely leaves her cave on her cat tree. 🤣 She's lived in a rescue with 80 other cats. She eats and uses the litter box when I am in bed. Looking forward to the day that she trusts me. #rescueismyfavouritebreed #invisiblecat
