Cat Makes Himself 'Invisible' Under Bath Mats So He Can Spy On Family

ā€œHe thinks if heā€™s under them you canā€™t see him.ā€

Meet Pumpkin, a white and orange rescue cat who loves cuddling with his mom, zooming around the house and taking naps while splayed on his back.

When heā€™s not busy with those activities, Pumpkin fancies himself a trickster who loves finding places around the house where he can hide and spy on his family.

His favorite hiding place? Under the bath mat.

ā€œI believe he thinks if heā€™s under them you canā€™t see him,ā€ Hannah Dordick, Pumpkinā€™s mom, told The Dodo. ā€œOther than that, my guess is that he is just a weirdo.ā€

Pumpkin isnā€™t loyal to bath mats specifically ā€” heā€™s happy to nestle himself under almost anything he finds on the floor, although heā€™s not always quite as hidden as he thinks.

ā€œPumpkin likes hiding under tote bags or towels that are on the ground as well,ā€ Dordick said. ā€œHeā€™ll hide under a bag that is much smaller than him and act like you canā€™t see him.ā€

 

Whether heā€™s cartoonishly peering out from under a bath mat or nestled right by Dordickā€™s side, Pumpkin is always using his quirky charm to brighten peopleā€™s day.

ā€œPumpkin is a nutball, but also the sweetest little man,ā€ Dordick said. ā€œ[He] seems to be happy almost all the time.ā€

Though Pumpkin loves to find hiding places, he always knows when to come out and be there for his family when they need him.

For Dordick, Pumpkin has proven to be a dependable, cuddly friend in times of need.

ā€œAdopting Pumpkin put the light back into my life,ā€ Dordick said. ā€œHis love and snuggles made everything better.ā€
