Jill was still in utter disbelief that this was happening. Not that long ago she had been coming to this out-of-the-way Pet Shop looking at adopting a companion to keep her company in the city she had been calling home the last two years...
...Now here she was stripping naked with a light-blue collar bearing a fish-shaped tag with her name on it waiting on a nearby table that was soon to around her neck. “You sure you want to do this now Jill? Honestly most who learn and accept this side of my business usually take awhile before their first experience” Tom inquired. “I’m sure Tom. All the arrangements have been made while you were out” Jill assured. “Only saying the process is somewhat rough for first-timers” Tom stated.
After getting the collar on “That Maxine girl found it likeable” Jill argued. “Wasn’t her first time. She and her mother joined Maxine’s aunt Amanda as cats during her second week for a start. Well actually to be quick Maxine’s a frequent shifter as Amanda’s been a cat for two years now baring a few reverts for certain reasons”. “You did say you had a review coming” Jill remembered as she walked into the big circle. “Alright then” Tom accepted.
“Now before we start and your caretaker arrives there are a few bits I failed to go over” Tom then stated. “I called my employers already and they approved my last minute vacation time” Jill returned. “Actually it’s about being an animal and communications” Tom continued “for a start for as long as you’re a cat you can’t speak human tongues but will be able to understand us. That said the only animals you can speak with and understand are fellow transformed”. “I understand...I think” Jill responded “Anyway let’s begin”. “As you wish” Tom accepted as Jill got to crouching.
Like Jill had witnessed with Maxine earlier Tom got into his smaller circle and started his chanting and have movements. And as he did Jill felt it as her body underwent the shift as wired waves of energy Jill could feel moving through her. Then while mostly frozen in place via the magic Jill then felt it as fur grew all over her body while her hands and feet became cat paws, a long fluffy emerged from her spine base while her ears relocated to higher points and shifted shape, as her body started shrinking and the faint outlines of a cat’s muzzle came into her enhanced eyes while her bones shifted from human to feline. As Tom finished his chanting it was clear Jill’s transformation was finished.
“(This feels amazing. All these new senses and energy I’m feeling)” Jill ranted out in joy only to notice that while she knew and somewhat heard her voice it was synchronized with a cat’s meowing “(Ah I see what you mean now Tom)”. “I hope it’s to your liking Jill?” Tom asked as he held a mirror up to Jill to let her see the full finished result into a Somali she now was. Jill nodding in agreement. Then while taking in the results the main building’s customer bell was heard “Ah I see your caretaker for the next two weeks has arrived. That said I confess I’m opposed to you keeping quite but can’t change that now and keep up with this brief care lie” Tom responded. “(Was my choice)” Jill meowed firmly in response:
