* When the real Boris Cat appears, Fraidy comments "Looks like there's one Boris t-t-too many here." Despite "one" being mentioned, Tinker Elephunt "One" Cave Cat does not appear. This implies that Fraidy can summon only one ghost at a time, and that the ghost that does appear corresponds to the last number referenced.
