Mummycat, the Wrapped-Up Explorer
Mummycat is a curious little gray kitty who decided to explore the old toy sarcophagus in the living room… and ended up wrapped in his own bandages, just like a real mummy! But don’t worry — Mummycat is as mischievous as he is cute 
.
At night, he silently prowls through the shadows, spreading mysterious purrs and playful jumps — and, of course, collecting little toys and treats like any good explorer.
Even wrapped in bandages, he remains the most adorable and playful kitty in the house, always ready for a cuddle or a spookily cute adventure!
