The stray cat found refuge in an abandoned house, its presence a testament to its prolonged stay. Silent footsteps echoed through the dusty hallways, revealing the cat’s long-term residency. The musty scent of neglect permeated the air, as if time had stood still within those decaying walls. The cat’s weary eyes held a glimmer of resilience, having adapted to a life of solitude and survival. It had claimed this forsaken sanctuary as its own, weaving its story into the forgotten tapestry of the abandoned house.
