Bowser the Ninja Kitty

So my boyfriend got me a kitten a couple of weeks ago. Little did we know we'd be letting a ninja into our home. Bowser, named after the Nintendo character, is a ninja for sure. I have never seen such a stealth cat before in my life. You never know where he is and when you least expect it he pounces on your face claws engaged! First week and a half I went though almost an entire box of band aids. He is such a sweet lil kitty when he wants to be, but let me tell ya more than not he is crazy.

I was told that I'd be able teach him right and wrong by using a spray bottle, hah! He doesn't mind when we spray him, he'll run away lick himself clean and then do the same exact thing we just scolded him for. We were unable to get anything through to him. That is until I went yardsaling last weekened and bought a dustbuster, mint condition for $1.00. First time I used it Bowser arched his back and hissed at that thing like it was some sort of crazy monster. Just the sight of it makes him run away. So now instead of spraying bowser with the water we just turn on the dust buster and he stops what he's doing immediatley. He's learning what he should and shouldn't do now. He'll be a good ninja soon enough!
