"Ah! What the—" Leon exclaimed, staring at the tabby in disbelief. "Where did this cat come from?"

The tabby cat, meanwhile, turned to Leon and let out a loud, victorious "Meow!" as if declaring, Mission accomplished, sucker.
Leon frowned, glancing at the tabby suspiciously. "What is this cat's problem? I've never even seen it before!"
