The Animal Whisperer: A Novella

Based on characters that will be in the novel, "The Feline Experiment"
Also based around a prompt that I saw for a contest on here: Since birth, you've been able to hear animal's thoughts, which has led you to be an excellent vet. One day, someone brings in their pet to be examined. To your surprise, you hear the animal say, "Please, don't! I'm a human!" What would you do?

Since birth, veterinarian Jeong Jae-jin (or as his buddies and friends call him "Jay"), has possessed the interesting ability of being able to communicate with animals, including hearing their thoughts and knowing what they like and dislike. This has allowed him to be an excellent vet, landing him a dream job at the local Denver Zoo.

So when a trio of injured animals, including a puma, white tiger and snow leopard come in, pleading and begging, it's nothing he hasn't heard before.
But what he hasn't heard before is the phrase, "Please, don't! I'm a human! Let me go!"

That throws everything off.
