She was taken aback when Jeni Koyle’s 4-year-old kid suggested a monster under his bed. It was 11 a.m., and children don’t typically complain about monsters during the day.
Koyle said to The Dodo, “He didn’t appear too terrified — rather curious.” “I’m hearing this noise, and this is the most obvious conclusion as to the origin of the noise,” he said, sounding rather matter-of-fact about it.
When Koyle went to her son’s room to investigate the source of the strange noise, she discovered that Sis, their rescue cat, was actually the “monster.”
When Koyle found Sis as a tiny kitten in rural Idaho, she knew she had to bring her home.
“I wouldn’t normally think twice about a feral kitten, but she was different,” Koyle said. “I could tell she had a special personality even then, and we bonded right away.”
Koyle’s two little boys and Sis get along well. When they go on walks, the cat runs beside the stroller and cuddles up next to them in bed. Koyle remarked, “She’s truly like a sister to them. They behave like typical siblings. They may have the fun of their lives playing together, or they can annoy the living daylights out of each other at times. However, they are always watching out for one another.
Sis spends most of her nights sleeping in bed with Koyle’s 4-year-old.
But this night, Sis decided to investigate the mattress and ended up stuck between the box spring and the plastic cover.
The furry monster was running around under the box spring trying to find a way out, and luckily, hadn’t eaten any plastic. When Koyle showed her son what was going on under his bed, he was relieved.
“When I looked under there and saw Sis, we all had a good laugh,” Koyle said. “We still have no idea how she got in.”
Sis was able to be coaxed out of her hiding place by Koyle, who then reminded the cheeky feline that her job is to keep her naughty brother safe from nighttime dangers, not become one.
