Ninja Cats!

My sister left today. She, her boyfriend, BusinessMan! and their ninja cats were here with us for five days. I'm kinda glad they're gone, not because they were a hassle or anything. It's always great when they come up to visit. While Noona was here, it was like getting my own reality tv show make-over. It was cool! I got my eyebrows waxed, my hair styled, and a french manicure on my toes, all thanks to Noona! We also got to go shopping, play video games and hang out :-).

Nope, I'm glad their gone because they took their cats with them. Don't get me wrong, their cats are nice. There are only two things that bother me about them.

1) They wreak havoc on my nose and sinuses.

2) They're ninja cats.

No really, they're ninjas. First off, their names are Raphael and Leonardo (Raphie and Leo for short). They're like Ninja Turtles, only they're not six feet tall, they're not green, or turtles, and they don't use old Japanese weapons to kick the Foot's ass. So, I guess they're not like Ninja Turtles at all, but they are ninjas. I saw their ninja outfits.

So how do I know that Raphie and Leo are ninjas? (other than their outfits.) They can walk through a room without making a sound! If I'm walking in the dark, they'll be under foot in a flash and then gone! They can also hide in plain view. I mean, they'll be in a room, and I'll see them, and all of a sudden they've disappeared! I know they can't be in a different room though, because they were just there! Then I'll see the tip of a tail sticking out from behind a couch, or a paw reaching out from under the buffet table. They're ninjas, man! NINJAS!

Just the other day, Mom opened the window a crack, because it was humid in our house. The next thing I know, Mom yells, "Oi Laura!" I run over to where she is and Raphie (or I'm pretty sure he was Raphie. Leo and Raphie look alike, you can't tell them apart, just like ninjas) had pushed the corner of the screen out of the window and was sitting on the ledge outside. I know Lorna and BusinessMan! would have no qualms about beating down Mom and I for losing their cat, so I tried to grab Raphie out from the window. He jumped out of my grasp and continued along the ledge out of my reach. So, what did I do? I ran to get my digital camera! As I was running back, I heard a thump and a reeorrwww, and a cat shot out from behind the couch.

Because Raphie and Leo look alike, I wasn't sure if that was Leo who ran from behind the couch. If it was, then Raphie was somewhere outside running around our lawn. So I scoured the house looking for two cats.

I couldn't find them. I looked behind every couch, under every bed, and behind every large piece of furniture I could find. Then I saw two tails floating under the dining room table. They were sitting on the chairs and were hidden by the table cloth which just brushes the seats of the chairs. It's like they knew I was looking for them! Mischievious little sneaks!

Anyway, so the cats are Ninjas, and I bet they fight crime when we're not looking. Either that, or they're deadly cat assassins. Noona and BusinessMan! don't care one way or the other though :-) as long as they're home in time for Noona and BusinessMan! to cuddle with.
