New Addition

Meet Ninja. She is the newest addition to our family. Monday night, we got a knock on our door.  It was our friends from down at the end of the street; Ronny and Vanessa.  They had a strat cat that had been hanging around their house and their neighbors had agreed to take it, but couldn't until the next day.  Could we keep it over night for them and they'd come get her after school.  Garry answered the door and he agreed to take it for the night.  He ran to Von's and got cat litter and we had some wet food left over from Mowgli and we put it up for the night.

She was the sweetest cat and we could tell she was young.  She was so quiet and moved like a ninja.  She ended up in Talon's room for the night.  She slept on his pillow and his door was only open a crack.  Somehow, she managed to leave in the middle of the night with out opening or closing his door any further than the crack.  Thus we started calling her a ninja cat.  Mowgli had an ingrown toe nail and you could always hear him walking...a little clicking sound, we could never hear her.  One minute she was with you, the next, gone into another room.

Tuesday came and Ronny and Vanessa came and got her.  We told them she had charmed her way into our hearts and if it didn't work out with the neighbor, we'd like to keep her.  An hour later, they showed up at the door asking if we really wanted her.  Their neighbors already had three cats and were just taking her to give her a place to go.  Luckily, Garry answered the door as I was doing piano and he made the decision all on his own and said yes, we would keep her. Then came the task of naming her.  Garry and Taz had gone to the temple to do baptism's for the dead, so Cynjyn started writing down names.  We came up with Sweety, Lovey, Kiki, Shadow, Smokey, Bright Eyes and Ninja.  We all liked Ninja, but weren't sure it would roll off the tongue so easily.  Talon really wanted Ninja, but we were all boohooing that and were leaning towards Shadow.  I really wanted Kiki.  So FINALLY, they got back (at 10:00PM!) and we decided on Ninja.  She is about 9 months old and very loving and sweet!
