As your new lion mom continued to groom you, you became aware of a rather particular sensation. She washed around your ears and... you felt as if your ears were suddenly getting bigger and sliding upward onto your head. Suddenly, you became aware of the fact that your hearing had improved and your ears felt... fuzzy. You slowly flailed one of your tiny infant hands up to try and touch your ears and discovered they were currently round and located on the top of your head as well as covered with fur.
You were distracted from this realization as a sharp twinge was felt on your tailbone. Your new mom rolled you onto your stomach again and press a paw lightly against your lower back as suddenly a long sleek tail grew out the end of your tailbone ending in a hairy little tuft. You blinked in surprised and tried to roll over onto your back. With some help from the lioness you managed and now you could look over your stomach and see your new tail. You could move it easily without much effort. While you were awed by this your new mom suddenly nosed at your feet, you giggles as her cold nose tickled you and kicked your feet involuntarily. As you did you saw that your feet now was covered in gold fur matching your tail and that your nails were now little claws hidden within your new paws. While you were distracted by this your mom nosed each of your hands resulting in a similar situation.
With you now having the ears, tail and paws of a lion she now seemed to be satisfied and finally removed her paw to let you up. You couldn't actually move much, even with your new lion parts you were still only 5 months old. Still you looked up at her wondering what was next? Was this going to be the rest of your life, being a slightly beastly human and having a lion as your only caretaker?
