Schrodinger trotted up to meet Wishbone, and Einstein greeted him with a mew.

"They are glad to see you," A said, grinning. "I am sure they will be surprised."

From:

"Heya, Wishbone. It's been a while. How've you been?" I ask conversationally. I'd apologize for laughing but I wouldn't mean it and I'll probably end up laughing today.

From:

I've been good! I talked with people, and I found a new book to read to the cats! he said as he shrugged out of the jacket and grabbed his wand.

From:

A sat down so he would be closer to Wishbone's eye level.

"What book? I am sure they will appreciate it."

From:

It's called The Tempest! Except it's a really long story, so I'd probably have to read it over a long period of time. But it's a good story! It's by Shakespeare! He readied his wand.

From:

"I've heard of Shakespeare." A patted Wishbone's head. "You are going to give them a good education."

From:

Yep! And he likes it. Okay, here I go! and he turned himself into a cat.

From:

Schrodinger was almost nose-to-nose with Wishbone when he changed, and jumped back in alarm. She sniffed warily and gave a low warning mrowl, ears flattening.

From:

Don't worry, Schrodinger! I'm still Wishbone! I just turned into a cat like you, see? Wishbone walked a little bit closer.

From:

Poor Schro....I couldn't help but laugh, which just made her that much more irritated. "Wishbone, watch out, she has claws," I manage to say. "I wouldn't get too close until she's calmer."

From:

Still letting out a low, warning sound, Schrodinger paced around Wishbone cautiously. She recognized the voice, and the smell was almost familiar, but her eyes were telling her this was a strange cat.

From:

It's okay, Schro...I'm not going to attack...I just want to play with you as a cat.

From:

"Maybe if you make a display of submission, she'll calm down," I suggest. I'm sure this will go over well.

From:

Schrodinger was gradually calming, but still appeared suspicious. A stranger cat was not to be taken lightly.

From:

Wishbone thought a minute, then rolled over so his belly was showing, just like Einstein did when they first met.

From:

Schro looked confused, but not as angry. She stepped closer, obviously sniffing. "Poor cat," I said, muffling my laughter to not startle her.

From:

As she approached Wishbone, Schrodinger raised a paw hesitantly, batting lightly at his ears. His response would be telling.

From:

Wishbone's leg kicked out a bit, but it was the one on the other side. And he laughed.

Yeah, my ears aren't as fun to play with as a cat.

From:

"Same dog on the inside, Schro, just different clothes," I say to cat. She sniffs at Wishbone's ear, still looking rather confused. After a moment, she licks his ear.

From:

Although she still seems a bit confused, Schrodinger seemed to accept Wishbone's transformation, and gave an inquisitive mew.

"Good girl," A crooned, reaching to scratch behind her ears.

From:

Wishbone laughed again, stood up, and began nuzzling against Schrodinger. Yep! It's me!

From:

Now that Schro had given her approval to Wishbone, Ein came over and inspected him. After a cursory sniff and a headbutt, he wandered toward the greenhouse. "Well, he knows what he wants."

From:

"Einstein likes to roll around in it and be lazy," A explained, heading to open the greenhouse door. "Not as playful as it makes Schrodinger."

From:

Come on! Wishbone said, following A. Let's be silly together!
