Every day was the same for Jack: crawl out of bed, struggle to stay awake in the shower, get dressed, rush to the university, daydream about the cute redhead a few seats in front of you while your professor rambles on about tangent planes and gradient vectors, go home, eat, tool around on line, then sleep.
Every day, that is, until today.
As Jack struggled to stay awake in Calculus, he noticed his redheaded sweetheart in between nods. He thought he was dreaming, because he noticed she had two unique protrusion from the top of of her head that looked like cat ears. Shaking his head, he was startled to find that he was not dreaming: she had cat ears. Jack immediately tried to rationalize this, thinking "It must be a hair band. I've seem some that are a little odd before."
This theory was shot down, though, when he noticed a quick whipping movement from the bottom of her chair: a long, red furred tail! No matter how he tried to write it off, he couldn't help but come to the conclusion that she had become part cat, part girl. In other words, his dream girl had become a catgirl!
As he looked around the room, he noticed this was not an isolated incident. Several of the girls in class now had ears and a tail. What's more, nobody seemed to care! To the rest of the class, these catgirls seemed perfectly normal.
As Jack sat wondering about how this could have happened, the long-winded professor closed his lecture and dismissed class. Gathering his things and shoving them in his book bag, he was surprised to look up and see his redheaded fantasy standing over him, looking at him.

And an unwelcome surprise it was, indeed, as she stared at Mr. and Mrs. Montana, parents of one Mickey Montana, better known as Mick Montana, but now known simply as Micki, because Mick Montana no longer exists. No, 28-year-old male, detective and superhero Mick Montana was...
“So, tell me about this…Jock the Cock…” Cat finally managed to ask.Tilly laughed. “There’s not much point in telling you when you can see Jacques for yourself!” And she pointed across the clearing, where three of the women, as well as two of the guys, were clustered around a naked, well-built, but rather ordinary-looking man.At least, he was ordinary from the waist up. From the waist down, it was a different matter entirely. He had the largest cock that Cat had ever seen or heard about. She...

Note - To all fans of "Cat and Mouse" (you know who you are!) Sorry for the unusual delay posting this chapter, but I've got a number of excuses I won't bore you with here. The most compelling reason is half way through this thing I realized it was going to be much longer than the other episodes unless I cut something out. Being a stubborn sort, I instead divided the episode into two parts and added a lot of exposition to this part. So what follows is about 50k of pure talk. I...

Susan walked into Harriman's. It was a nice bar - clean, nice lighting, and the music wasn't too loud to have a conversation. The pictures on the wall were all about when the city was built, with small plaques explaining the captured images. In addition to a good variety of hard liquor, they sported 36 beers on tap and had a decent selection of wines. They hosted scotch tastings four times a year, with little cards giving detailed information about where the various different scotches came from...
Cat walked around with a big grin on her face, or rather a bigger one than usual. No one knew why, except for Cat. Beck had intervened and helped her get over her Sky Mall addiction, but she managed to find another version of Sky Mall, except this one was for adults. "Sex Mall" was that it was called and it was a sex toy catalogue and she loved it. She consistently bought several things out of there on weekly basis and now owned the top 50 female toys in the list and had even lent some out to...
coming through, but that recently changed . I had been away on business for 2 weeks and through luck managed to get home 2 days early. I had told Catrina that morning I would be in a meeting for six hours and would have my cell off because of the importance of the meeting. This would give me enough time to get home at about the time she would be expecting my call. I was surprised when I walked into our house, Catrina always knew when I was home, and Catrina did not greet...

Cat's slight body shivered as Trina's lips touched lightly on her bare shoulder. She could feel Trina pressed up against her back, Trina's fingers working the zip of Cat's dress down slowly. Cat's mind raced wildly, overexcited, and when Cat got excited, she lost all power of attention.She wondered vaguely where Tori was, and was she bringing pizza back, 'cause Cat was kind of hungry, her stomach felt all heavy and echo-y. It took Cat a moment to realise that it wasn't hunger so much as the...

Cat trailed her fingers along Trina's heated skin, marvelling at its softness. Somehow it was even better lying down. Trina had guided the smaller girl to her ridiculously huge and feather-soft bed, pushing her down gently but firmly. Cat made sure to carry out her plan of putting her lips everywhere on Trina, starting with soft kisses that traced the older girl's jaw, moving down her neck. Cat liked the feeling of Trina's pulse throbbing against her lips, it made her feel alive, excited her,...

The naked woman lay on the warm, flat rock on her elbows, legs stretched out behind her, twisting her nipples, and nervously rolling her ass and legs from side to side. The motion set up a lovely sensation as her legs were clamped together, and her pussy lips rubbed against each other in her now soaking cunt.She was cautiously watching a group of naked men and women through some branches. They were engaged in various acts of fucking, sucking, spanking, and more. Cat found that she was enjoying...
OutdoorTilly’s kiss was more than just a welcoming peck. It might more properly be called a Deep Snog, complete with stroking tongues, lots of saliva, full-out groping, and twat-tingling intent. She and Cat worked on that kiss, to the point where some of the other orgy-goers stopped to appreciate it and comment.When a small crowd had gathered, and whistles started to rain down, Tilly broke, smiled up at the crowd, kissed Cat on the nose, then said to the assembled multitude, “So, who’s going to help...

It started as an offhand comment by a friend. He'd intended it as a derogatory, but it stuck in Jason's mind, a little seed that slowly sprouted. When the tiny voice in his head became too loud, the internet searches started. Then came the porn. Eventually, more research revealed that Brazilian tranny videos didn't accurately reflect the truth. True transgender people struggled greatly, both internally and externally. Curiosity about those struggles only fueled his desires. Now, he just needed...

Cat and Mouse: The Whale, part 2 by Bluto The sun was raising in the East and shining brightly through the windows at the Cedars - Sinai Medical Center. Rae Ming, the mighty Girl Goliath, was in intensive care, her breathing aided by a mechanical device, sort of like an iron lung. Given the extent of her injuries, the emergency room doctors acknowledged it was a miracle that she still lived. Only fast action on the part of Nightman and some EMS technicians on the scene saved...

"Cat and Mouse: Assault on the Ole Perfesser" by Bluto "Micki, I want to thank you for coming with me to the drugstore. I would have died if I had to go by myself." "It's no problem, Lupe.

Cat had implied that she would call him rarely, if ever. To his surprise, she called him that Friday. Their second time was similar to the first, with her teaching and introducing him to new things. Rather than fuck his ass, she had him suck her girl-cock again. She called him again the following week. This time, she had him suck her off three times. At first, she called him once a week. Around the fifth week, she would call him Friday evening and again on Saturday or Sunday. Two weeks later...
The yellow object shifted slightly as the cats paw pushed on it. The cat’s ears pricked forward in surprise. The floor wasn’t supposed to shift like that. Floors were things that stood still, that didn’t move for any reason. Yet this thing, which was apparently not a floor, had defied all the rules of the small universe the cat knew and had shifted when the cat had batted it with her paw. Bending her head down towards the object, the cat inhaled swiftly, smelling the yellow abnormality. It’s...
CAT WORLD By Anthony Durrant As I wandered through the amusement park, I spotted a cat near a large black tent. Grabbing it by its tail, I flung it into the nearest bush, and it landed on its feet when it hit the ground and rushed under that bush. "HEY!" a woman's voice cried, and I felt myself being grabbed by a tall dark-haired woman in a brown dress who dragged me into the black tent. "Suzie was my familiar, and you've temporarily scared her away....

Sighing he made his way to the elevator to head home, stopping a moment he had to go back and get his keys. Stepping back in the office there was a crashing sound; Bill looked back into the hallway seeing that half the hall had collapsed.

Emerging on the street Bill saw the emergency equipment that was arriving. Smirking, Bill watched opened mouth as they...

Alice Gale was your normal college student. She had an average GPA, and a job at the local mall. On the night of October 28th, 2009 her normal life would be turned upside down. The air was still and the sky clouded over as Alice and her friend Debbie locked up the book store where they worked. ‘That was a long shift,’ Debbie said. ‘No shit!’ Alice replied, ‘I can’t believe how busy it was tonight.’ As the two friends walked and talked they were being stalked from the nearby bushes by a...
It had been three weeks since "the talk". Every time Jason's phone rang he snatched it up. "Cat?" It was never her.Finally, he called her. She answered on the fourth ring."Cat, this is Jason.""Oh, hey! How's it going?""Fine, I guess. I just hadn't heard from you in a while. I was getting worried.""No, everything's okay.""Oh. Um...well, can I come over?"Cat's eyes darted to the bedroom. The blonde was shackled naked to the bed, blindfolded with earplugs. Cat had come into the kitchen to gather a...

CAT AND MOUSE By BLUTO Mick Montana had seen a lot of strange things since he became a working detective seven years ago, but this was the strangest of them all. Five members of the Gamboli Family, some of the most ruthless and bloodthirsty gangsters in operation today, were in his modest Manhattan office begging him for help. He had his doubts about working for such unsavory clients, but the money they were offering was very good indeed. "So, you see, Mr. Montana, our backs are...

Readers have been requesting more stories about my cats lately…or maybe I just wanted to share. Who can blame me, living with such freaks as these?

So here are a few strange tales, and I hope you enjoy them. * * * I have three cats. Cosmic Creepers is my oldest cat, a five-year-old black boy cat. He’s a...
The poor thing probably never saw it coming. I watched as the moth walked across the carpet, it’s tiny wings fluttering softly as it searched for something I probably didn’t understand. When my cat came into the room, my eyes followed hers, and I knew the exact moment when she noticed the movement. The cat’s eyes were moving about cautiously, summing up her new surroundings as she entered the bedroom. She looked this way, and then that, and then with a lightning quick movement her whole head...
The following story is the 100% true account of my first sexual encounter....... Growing up in South Florida in the 1980's was really an amazing experience. Watching what was considered by many to be a sleepy retirement town metamorphosis into a chic metropolitan international city was quite a sight to behold. While there were many changes occurring in the world around me there were equally as many changes occurring within me. I was fifteen years old in 1985 and attending an...

The young man began to blink his eyes as the morning sun shone through the window. Its radiance and its warmth effectively rousing Riley from his sleep, and rudely interrupting his wildly erotic dream. But he turned his body away from the sun's rays, shifting to the other side of his bed as he tried to go back to...
I think that my cat probably knows everything that goes on inside the house, and maybe in the whole neighborhood. It wouldn’t be a far stretch to imagine that she knows everything that’s going on everywhere, at every second of the day. Sometimes I look into those big green eyes of hers and she seems to smirk at me, as though saying, ‘I know something you don’t know.’ So when I see confusion in her eyes, I truly worry. I was in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, and the little pitter-patter of...

This all started when I noticed a stray cat crossing my property a few times. Apparently, that is all it takes. Beware!When I was in the Army, back in the early-to-middle 1980's, I was privilrgrd to know and serve under some sergeants who were Viet Nam veterans. One of them used to love to say, "Do you know what the difference between a fairy tale and a war story is? A fairy tale begins with, 'Once upon a time, ...' & a WAR STORY begins with, 'This is NO BULLSHIT, because I was THERE, and I...
Just understand that when one thinks that in life you understand all there is, to know a person completely, or see that they cannot change, you will be open to new and final revelations that makes it clear; you never knew them to begin with as you suspected.

Please leave some comments so I can improve the story line better. ====================================== They say in the tales of old that the eyes are a window unto the soul; while a mirror is supposedly the revealer of all that is hidden away, showing to all who bother to look and understand the reality of what IS, not hidden away from us...

The one exception to his rule has always been the academy. This great bastion of learning and knowledge, where the arts of magic are taught to students, scholars come to discover and hone skill for purposes best left to the imagination.

A series of events have come about, one along with the other that is turning this stability upside down...
