The sounds of the machinery around Roxy whirred and clicked and buzzed. She stuck out her tounge idily. She knew that she could make another mutant kitten. She’d done that same thing so, so, *so* many times before. But it was like her ectobiology skills were reaching a plateau. Was there no way to have a different cat for some variety?
Furrowing her brow (and with a smart sip of her drink), Roxy studied the world map that had become oh so familiar to her. She gazed longingly at the different landmasses, imagining to herself the vastness of being unable to see the ocean in any direction.
le sign...
Maybe there *was* a way to get some variety in her kitty collection. Carefully, Roxy turned one knob and then another. Button one. Then three. Then two twice. Finally, a pull of the lever, another knob twist, and it was ready. Taking a deep breath in, Roxy put her hand on the spirograph.
BZZZZT! — The ectobiology machine buzzed to life, drowning out the rest of the lab around her. Suddenly, a large amount of green slime appearified into existance; worringly, it seemed to be a *bit* bigger than the size she was hoping for. Roxy watched as the substance was sucked into its container. A flashing sequence of code quickly ran across the small display in front of her. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the apparatus above the platform started to glow a stark white.
where doing it man.
where MAKING THIS HAPEN
Before she knew what hit her, Roxy was flat on her back, pinned by a heavy weight sitting right on her chest. Shaking her head slightly to gather her bearings, Roxy found herself staring straight in the eyes of the biggest cat she had ever seen, white fur absolutely covering the remainder of her view. Instinctively, she froze. The cat stared back. Roxy could hear the creature’s breathing, its heartbeat, the way it vibrated slowly.
Wait. No. Purring.
The animal was purring. Then, Roxy felt something akin to a tongue lick her chin. But the cat still seemingly hadn’t opened their mouth. Thankfully, the animal then decided to lean back by a slight amount, giving her room to breathe. Then, Roxy noticed something else about this creature: two mouths. She knew that this shouldn’t seem very unusual to her, given the mewcats all tended to have 4 eyes for whatever reason, but somehow the whole cat felt almost alien. Then, the creature headbutted her. It was soft and warm. She had felt the power of this creature’s muscles before and she knew that they had decided to hold back their strength. Smiling, Roxy knew that she had indeed found a new friend.
