A cool breeze is blowing through the window sending a pleasant chill down your spine. You notice there is a cat sitting on the edge of the bed. The black and white creature glares at you, eyeing your every move as you enter her territory. Each wall here is painted a different color: yellow, purple, pink, blue, and green.
