How to catch a Tuna

 Fire is a very sick little kitten. His nerves in his colon are not functioning so he must be manually evacuated and have medicine three times a day and two enemas. Our vet, Dr. Byron, doesn't think he will make it.
So we try to make his medicine as pleasant as possible as he is a fighter and wants to live badly. To do that, he is rewarded with a piece of tuna steak. Today, I ran out of tuna steak and had to cook another one. I had managed to cool it and was sitting it down for him in the kitchen when.....

There are two black kittens in the litter and we called them Ninja One and Two. They are both girls and they take their Ninja duties very seriously. Ninja One has practiced her stealth for hours, leaping, freezing with only the little eyes tracking her imaginary (we hope) prey and then leaping again. Today she was practicing her stealth and killing technique with the cats absolute favorite toy in the entire universe of toys: The Cat Spring pictured below and available from Amazon.com all the time or Pet Supermarket.

The next thing I know, she flings the Spring onto the Tuna, captures it and grabs the spring filled with Tuna and starts to run. She almost made it except I grabbed the Spring.

Well played little Ninja One, well played, but Ninja Mommy is faster.
