Meet Pumpkin, a white and orange rescue cat who enjoys playing about the house, snoozing on his back, and snuggling with his mother.
When he’s not engaged in such pursuits, Pumpkin likes to think of himself as a prankster who enjoys hiding out around the home and keeping an eye on his family.
His go-to cover, perhaps? beneath the bathmat.
“I believe he thinks if he’s under them you can’t see him,” Hannah Dordick, Pumpkin’s mom, told The Dodo. “Other than that, my guess is that he is just a weirdo.”
Pumpkin isn’t particularly faithful to bath mats; he’s content to hide beneath practically anything he finds on the floor, but he’s sometimes not quite as covert as he thinks.
“Pumpkin likes hiding under tote bags or towels that are on the ground as well,” Dordick said. “He’ll hide under a bag that is much smaller than him and act like you can’t see him.”
No matter where he is—cartoonishly peeking out from behind a bath mat, or curled up by Dordick—Pumpkin is constantly making people smile with his eccentric appeal.
Dordick remarked, “Pumpkin is a nutball, but also the loveliest little man. “[He] appears to be joyful almost always.”
Although Pumpkin enjoys hiding, he always knows when to emerge and be there for his family in their time of need.
Pumpkin has proven to be a loyal and affectionate companion for Dordick.
“Pumpkin’s adoption brought the light back into my life,” stated Dordick. “His affection and cuddles improved everything.”
