I've always wanted to become a cat!

Chapter 2. : Confusion

"H-huh!? What's going on?" Mickie thought as she looked at herself.Whithout further ado, Mickie was now a cat!

With a confused look on her face, she looked around the apartment. Still in bed, she noticed that Sharky had peed all over the apartment!

"Why doesn't it stink?" she said in confusion.

Sharky then jumped up onto the bed and walked towards her.

"I don't know where you came from but you sure are pretty!" He said in delight.

Mickie was confused and thought maybe that she could have been dreaming. She then proceeded to get up and jump off her bed.

Even though Sharky had peed everywhere, it smelt like the apartment was covered in perfume.

" Ugh... I don't feel so good" Mickie said in discust. "This dream will end soon enough.. I mean I've had these like so many times and I'm not that shocked about it" She jumped up to a mirror.

Noticing how cute she thought she looked she cheered up and then looked around again.

A fresh new layer of snow lied on her varanda and the world outside looked so fresh and new.

Mickie proceeded to Sharky and asked:

"When did I turn into this cat?"

"Huh?" Sharky said in confusion

"Don't you know that I'm your owner?" She said

"You do smell a lot like her but there is no way that you are"

Sharky then walked towards her and then pounced on her.

"Ugh what are you doing!?" Mickie shouted

He then started to bite her and then she realised..

He was trying to mate!

Her pupils went as thin as needles, and if she was a human, she would be as white as a ghost!

The only thing she thought was:

"Run!"

She immediately ran to the nearest open window and jumed out of it. She then realised she wasn't dreaming when she felt the coldness under her paws.

"How, how, how!?" she repeated in her head.

She carried on running as far as she could, to try and get away from two things: Sharky and this dreaded nightmare!

She continued to run away from the 'sweet cat' she thought she had and ended up in an alley.

It was cold so she tried to look for a nice dry spot to hide in, but the only available one was in the dumpster. She then jumped in to a space full of cats!

The rest of the other cats just glared at her in an awkward silence. She had froze in fear during this terrible experience. There was silence for a fews minutes, when it was suddenly interrupted.

"Get out of there cats!" the garbage man shouted.

The rest of the cats jumped out and ran away whilst she stayed inside.

"What are YOU waiting for?"

"Meoouuw!" Mickie tried to speak. "Mow!" she tried again.

Eventually the man just grabbed her and threw her out of the dumpster.

She was furious.

"Did you think I was going to wait for you 'princess'?" he said in anger.

Mickie did not hesitate to run away.

She went in the direction the other cats went, in order to find a safe space. She then noticed a small, half-open vent from the side of an old abandoned building and could smell the scents of the other cats coming from it. She jumped inside, hoping to find warmth.

She then popped out in a room full of stray cats. There were papers everywhere as well as old broken fans.

She jumped to the ground and then the whole room entered silence.

A big brown-haired male cat walked towards her and spoke:

"All us alley cats have three basic needs which are food, shelter and protection. If you want those three things as well you have to listen to whatever I say" he walked around her.

"I don't belong to you, turd" she said in annoyance.

"Last chance female"

"Nope"

The cat then proceeded to push her to the ground and scratch her face.

"OH! You want to fight huh?" Mickie then pushed him off her and then jumped to her feet.

It then became a full on cat fight. The rest of the cats did not intervene in fear of being hurt.

The cats jumped around and clawed each other. It was intense. Mickie knew she wouldn't win, by the way things were going.

She started to feel weak, when suddenly...

Crash!

A giant fan fell.
