Beth, human again, stroked the head of Jeff, now purring loudly. "I want to keep you like this." she whispered in Jeff's ear. "You make such a wonderful pet. You like it like this, don't you? You don't want to go back to being my somewhat strange brother, do you? And we're going to go out hunting again, aren't we?"
Jeff purred even louder, and lightly touched Beth's face with her tongue.
"But I can't call you Jeff, that's a guy's name and you're so wonderfully, wonderfully female." Beth shifted to take all of her new pet into her embrace. "From now on, your name is Miss Midnight, OK?" Miss Midnight snuggled into her sister's firm and loving arms, and mewed inquisitively.
"Oh, and don't worry about the kittens." Beth laughed. "I know who would make the perfect mate, my sweet sister."
