Coco catches the cat

Mission details:

Cats! Cats for Pete's sake! Coco was supposedly a ninja! Not some sort of lost and found department. Not that that mattered. Coco was more than willing to do anything she could to further spread her families name throughout Amegakure. Sure that wasn't too hard of a feat to begin with, but that didn't matter. If not Amegakure then the world!!!

Coco sat perched upon a low hanging branch. Down near the tree's trunk sat a bowl with a healthy serving of catnip inside. With the way the wind was today, she was sure that she'd draw every cat in a fifty mile radius to her. Unfortunately tat was absolutely true, and she ended up having to shoo away another stray cat every half minute. Amegakure, and even it's out skirts had a stray cat population easily twice that of the human population. Which to Coco made looking for a single one, a little silly. Especially when you could walk  into a any damp alley and find twelve more to replace it. But money was money!

Today's target was a beige little number called Topaz. Somehow the fat cat had managed to not only escape his apartment, but the entire village as well. You had to respect the little guys initiative. When he ran away he put everything into it. initiative or not, Coco couldn't help but recall her recent trip to the Jungle. It'd ended with almost getting swallowed up by a Anaconda. Only her trusty umbrella had saved her from that threat. She couldn't help but think that Topaz would probably suffer a similar fate.

Naturally the moment that entered her mind that very same cat came sauntering of from the jungle underbrush looking like he owned the place. The king of the jungle was flanked on both sides by a pair of ebony felines. Coco held her breath, and waited for the animal to approach her lure. She was hoping the cat wouldn't be concerned with the scent of at least another dozen cat's who'd attempted the same thing.
Good thing Topaz was a lazy house cat and didn't bother with suspicion at all. The dumb thing simply started nomming down on his treat.

"Alright young man." Coco announced descending from the trees. "Vacation's over."

Topaz the Beige didn't even bother turning around. He simply nodded his in Coco's direction. Understanding he signal his two dark friends went on the attack. The two of them brought their tiny cat claws to bare, and leapt into the air at Coco.

"Sending your henchmen after me eh?" Coco brought her umbrella to bare. "Well I guess Henchcat's is a better term." She managed to easily bat the two henchcat's away, sending them fleeing into the jungle. "That's right running with your tail between you legs." Coco paused momentarily. "I can't believe I'm bantering with cats!"
 
With her defenses lowered Topaz went in for the kill. With speed that can only be granted by catnip with beast flew at Coco's scarf covered neck. It's razor sharp house cat claws gleaming in the stormy light of the jungle. It's arms, which for years had been used to bat around fake mice swung at Coco's throat.

Just as Coco had planned the Monster's claws became entangled in her puffy scarf. The momentum of the cat sent it spiraling in the air. The corkscrew caused the scarf to unravel from Coco's neck, and wrap around Topaz. Leaving that cat in the middle of a big cat-scarf-burrito.

Coco shuddered as she felt her naked chin being caressed by the moist jungle air. "My scarf!" She screamed. The howl echoed throughout the entirety of the jungle. Sending every beast fleeing into cover. "You little bastard! You are even worthy to touch it." She sighed forlornly. It didn't matter, it was ruined now. "I guess I'll just have to tell everyone I planned it that way." With a final sigh Coco lifted the offending scarf wrapped cat up out of the mud. Her mission complete, but at what cost?
