Speeding Ticket..... or Not?

You try to drive back to the magic store as quickly as possible, but traffic is unrelenting and seems to move at a slower pace than normal. You even get caught behind a train at the railway crossing! By the time it passes, you have undergone a few more changes since you left home. Your hands have restructured into a pair of furry paws, complete with a set of razor-sharp, retractable claws. Your ears are now longer, pointed, and are covered in a fine down. You also sport a pair of amber cat's eyes, so your vision is more than a bit different.

Cursing your ill fortune, you hurry on to the shop. You get within a few blocks of it, when you see something through your rear-view mirror. To add to all that's happened thus far, you spot two flashing lights... one red, one blue...

"I don't beleive this! Why me!? Why now!?",you shout, slamming your clenched paws down on the steering wheel.

Seemingly in response to your emotions, you change further. When the police officer reaches the car, your face has extended into a short muzzle. Your nose has turned pink and damp with a few long, coarse whiskers around it. Your face is covered in fur, and your ears migrate to the top of your head. You are now totally a werecat!

The officer finally gets to the car door and smugly asks, "Do you know just how fast you were going, son? I had you clocked at abou- "

He catches a glimpse of your feline apearance and stops cold in the middle of his lecture. Not knowing what to do, he casually walks back to ask his partner in the car. You wait, playfully batting at the fuzzy dice on your mirror with your paw, purring contentedly. You don't know why this amuses you, but... oh, well.

After a while, they just drive off, leaving you there. Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, you quickly leave as well, chuckling at the thought of what must have been going through the officer's mind.

Finally, you arrive at the store. Running on all fours, and attracting more than a little unwanted attention, you get inside... Now where is that old man? Just then, you notice the storeroom door open.
