More than a Feelin'

"Aruba!?" said Eve, dumbfounded by the inane promotion that had found its way into her mail. "At least it's not a bill," she sighed, peering dejectedly at the pile of letters remaining on the coffee table. Just then something caught her eye: a bulky, unopened letter with a strange symbol on the front depicting a snake coiled in the shape of an eye. She grabbed the unusual envelope and tore it open with rampant curiosity, discovering inside a golden pendant in the shape of a cat's face (as well as several notes covered in unintelligible writing). "This doesn't look like something Sandy would buy," said Eve to herself, "kinda tacky if I'm honest." She tried it on anyway, and was immediately distracted by the pile of mail falling to the ground, unsettled by her reckless grasping.

Settling back into the couch after reconstructing the mail pile, Eve failed to remember that the pendant was still around her neck. She also failed to notice that her ears were changing shape, and gradually growing fine, grey hairs on their newly acquired points. Beset by bodily function, she stood up to make her way to the toilet. Two steps into the journey she fell to the ground, her bare feet misbehaving and failing to support her. She rolled into a seated position to inspect the oddity and was horrified by what she saw. Her feet were growing longer, her heels receding up her legs. Eve grabbed a foot in disbelief, desperately attempting to prove this a hallucination... but to no avail. She could clearly feel the unsettling rearranging of her bones. Her hands now in view caught her attention and she drew them closer, rapidly approaching panic in the wake of this madness. Her fingers were shorter and thicker, their ends forming pink pads. Soft grey fur appeared at her sleeves and made its way up to the ends of her digits, where her nails morphed into sharp claws, with a similar process occurring on her feet. Something protruding from her skirt caught her eye. A nimble appendage covered in the same grey fur, rapidly growing in length. A tail, Eve realized with horror. Just as her hands and feet, perhaps now better referred to as paws, seemed to settle into their new form, Eve felt a disturbing tingling in her upper lip. She scrambled desperately to the hallway mirror to inspect this latest development. White whiskers grew from below her nose just as her lip split to meet it. Her nose acquired a pink hue and widened, whilst her nose bridge flattened. Her teeth became fangs and her eyes became slits. The fur encroached from the edges of her face and gradually suffocated what remained of her human skin. As the transformation came to an end, one of her slitted eyes changed from blue to green, a cherry on top of a thoroughly disturbing experience.

Eve stood awkwardly on her new feet, tail swaying semi-autonomously, staring horrified at her altered visage. Tears welled in her eyes as she wondered how this could have happened, and if it could be undone. It was then that she recalled the strange pendant still around her neck. Determining it the culprit, she reached up to tear it away but was stopped dead by the sound of keys in the apartment door. "Oh no," she whispered, unwilling to let her roommate see what had happened. Eve rushed towards the bathroom door, seeking a place to hide, but her feline legs struggled to obey. She heard the door open and turned to face it, like a deer in headlights. Sandy stood there in awe, her mouth agape, unsure how to process the frightened furry roommate who was frozen before her. Then, Sandy's face broke into a hearty grin and she dashed towards Eve and embraced her, affectionately stroking Eve's new feline ears.

"Eve you are so cuuuuuute!" said Sandy.

"Well, I guess that's good," replied Eve.
