Fishmarket

You can't exactly go searching for a way to transform yourself back when you're nearly passing out with hunger! Your cat nose smells a fishmarket, and you sneak around back. Wow, dumpsters smell so much better to cats!

There's a bunch of other cats mewing at each other- but you can understand them now. Heck, it just sounds like a busy diner. You can hear your stomach growl, though, so you start pacing around, looking for a good fish.

A clean-looking tabby is gnawing on one end of a salmon and looks up at you. "Hey look, I can't eat this whole thing, and you look hungry. Want some?" Hey, he's a lot nicer than the other cats. You tuck happily into the fish and make idle chitchat. Turns out he used to be human, too, until he got enchanted by some witch. Figured you for another curse victim. For one, you're a lot smarter than the other cats.

Bellies full, he offers to show you how he did his place up- with enough effort, you can make a decent home even without hands. He's found a box in an alley down the way, even has an electric heater and a couple of pictures from magazines. You know, he smells really nice. Really, really nice... Your brain stops working for a bit and the obvious happens. At least now you know why cats yowl so much.
