Awsome story by Hyde the Raccoon
Jero yawned. It was was a nice day....as far as he knew. It could have been snowing and he wouldn't have known. He got out of bed, and opened a drawer. He didn't need his cane anymore, the monotony was easily memorized so he could get around unless someone tried to trip him. He grabbed his Khakis and his favorite shirt and walked into the bathroom. From his viewpoint, it was rather normal. Listen to the simulated rain, wash himself, dry off, and blow-dry tail. Wait...what? He shook his head and put on his clothes. For safe measure he felt his bottom. No tail. He sighed a breath of relief and grabbed his, as far as he knew, gem-studded cane.
He walked down stairs on his paws...feet. What's going on? Why is making references to animal parts instead of human? Jero shrugged and continued on, unaware, or perhaps uncaring, about his transformations. As he walked, his shoes felt looser and his shirt felt tighter. Not to mention warmer...Was the air on too high? He reached the door only to find it was harder to grasp. He grabbed his paw...hand... and felt that it was much thicker. Not only that, but it was covered in fur and tipped with claws. Jero waited for a second. "This isn't right...I may not be able to see, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that something isn't right." As he said this, a large striped tail began forming at the tail bone. It drew bones and everything. Jero was well aware of what was happening. Okay...I am turning into a...cat? He felt his tail all the way to the end. "Alright...fur all the way to the tip, thick paw-hands..." He felt his face, "A small muzzle...whiskers...and ears on top of my head..." All the evidence pointed to one thing. Tiger. He was a tiger. Or a puma....but that didn't seem right. His entire genetic code seemed like it rewrote itself...
Jero took the change well, he could hear, smell and actually could sense things around him. Not sight, mind you, but not blindness. He called to his mother, "I am not going to school today...I don't feel well..." His voice was slightly deeper, but his mother didn't notice and just called an affirmative back to him. Jero walked back upstairs and opened the window. "I got an hour before breakfest is brought up to me...let's play around for a bit...." Naturally the cane was left by the window, incase he actually needed it.
