As the brown and white fur covered Amy from head to toe, Lina tried her best to remove Amy's collar. For some reason, however, the clasp was stuck. Amy watched her hands contort and shift into slightly thicker half-paws. White fur grew from the end of her arms to her fingertips, which now contained retractable pink claws. The skin on her palms was toughening and darkening to make durable pads. Fortunately, it seemed she still had a great deal of mobility in her fingers, and her thumbs remained.
Her tail, meanwhile, grew out to four feet. It was brown and ended in a white tip. Her shoes were pushed off by rapidly growing feet. Soon, Amy's legs resembled a cat's hind legs, and ended in large white digitigrade paws.
Amy let out painful "Mmrrr"s as her jaw clenched. Her nose and mouth pushed away from her face as a half-muzzle formed. Fangs replaced human teeth as a rough tongue licked them over. Her large brown cat ears poked out from the top of her black hair, which remained unaltered. Amy's body trembled as she put her pawed hands to her cheeks and slowly turned to face Amy with slitted yellow eyes.
"Rrrr...Lliina?" She tried to speak but found it difficult to make certain sounds. "Wrrat...wrrat's gorring onn?"
"I don't know," Lina said, clasping both hands around one of Amy's furry white wrists. "But I promise, we'll fix it." Without letting go, they backtracked the block to where the strange shop was. Amy's legs were getting tangled in the long leash attached to her collar, so she gripped it with her thick hands as they went.
