Lexi crouched with Tuney and started to stalk her prey... the kitties I mean. THE KITTEHS! "Heeeeeeeere kiiiiitty, kiiity, kiiiiiiitty! And hugs. We will give you food AND hugs. And give you kitty kisses," Lexi said in a sing song voice. The grey kitty was sitting a little ways away EYEING them.

Letting out a HIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS the grey kitty EYED the two clowns that were trying to catch him.

Lexi held her hand out for the kitty to SNIFF at the same time she kitty decided to swat at her and hiss some more. o_____________O

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" Neptune jumped back and hid behind Lexi. "BAD KITTY! BAD! Honestly, don't you know a good thing when you see it? Pick another kitty, Lexi. I am SO over that one."

Swatting at them? No. No. None of that. Neptune wouldn't have ungrateful feral cats. No.

Wait, they hissed too...

Scowling, the girl shrugged off her cloak and held it in front of her. There was no way she was going to get scratched, and this was the only way she could think of to grab a cat without making some other person get one for her. Actually, it's how she got Poof to take a bath. *shudder* Those were not fun times.

...

"Evelyn? There is a kitty over here for you. It seems your type." You know, mean. Hissy. Hateful. Ridiculous.

Giggle.

Helena was not going to give up. That adorable black cat was going to be hers.

She looked for a moment at the slightly grumpy cat, not exactly knowing what to do. She couldn't just chase it around, so she tried to approach it with tiiiiny steps. "Please come with me," the girl said, almost begging the cat. And it just hissed in response.

Hmph.

Alright. She's going to catch it really really fast, when the cat was not going to expect.

And that's exactly what she did. Just... the cat started hissing and making all kinds of noises, until Helena scratched softly the back of its ears. See? No more hissing, just purring.

She held the cat in her arms just like a baby (well, more like a purring baby) and walked back to Shaw.

How was Samira suppose to catch a cat without a wand?! This was crazy! Samira didn't even like cats...

She tried and failed to catch three, and one even scratched her ankle. What did this have to do with transfiguration anyway? But then, to Samira's utter relief, she heard somebody asking if anyone else needed help. She looked back at the boy. "Yes please..." she called, almost desperately. "They all keep running away!" Ugh. This was ridiculous. But maybe with a partner it wouldn't be so hard.

Think of the annoying, and they talk to you.

Meh, she was lucky Evelyn didn't throw the cat AT her. "Seriously Neptune, I'm not going to go over to pick up your personal mirror for you." she muttered, eying a few of the cats around.

Hehe.

Back to kitty catching. Ooh! There was one. Running towards them, feral looking, and it's tail was all fluffy and fat from being too wild. Great. If it ruined her cloak, she was going to demand that Shaw buy her a new one.

Mina slowly walked into the corridor and frowned. There were way too many feral cats around and she didn't have any idea how she was even going to catch one without magic. If the cats were like the nice kneazles she was used to, it wouldn't be an issue. She could handle that, but these cats kind of scared her.

Pulling her cloak tightly around herself, she started to look for a cat that didn't look like it was going to try to claw her eyes out for coming too close to her.

After running around the corridor wild, a sweaty and tired Eino had finally cornered the white cat. The cat had found a lonely catnip and seemed to be enjoying it. The boy quietly tiptoed closer to the cat, but to no avail. The cat turned around and Eino was about to give up, but this time the cat didn't run away. Eino took a step closer, and the cat stood still. Another step and nothing... "You know," He began whispering as he continued to approach the cat "you're harder to catch than a pogrebin." Suddenly, the cat turned around and shifted its attention from the catnip to the boy. "Yes, you heard me... harder than a pogrebin..." He repeated and this time the cat tilted its head. He turned around and there was nothing but a bunch of crazy students and cats running around. What was the cat looking at? He turned back to the cat, and repeated the last few words and the cat tilted its head again. "Progrebin." Head tilt to the right. "Progrebin." Head tilt to the left. "Progrebin." Head tilt to the right. "Progrebin." Head tilt to the left. "Do you know what a pogrebin is?" The cat meowed, making Eino jump and take two steps back. "Do you like pogrebins?" The cat hissed.

Eino's eyes widened. He ran towards the cat, picked up, embraced it, and with the cat in his arms he began spinning around in the corridor.

They had a moment. Now back to the classroom.

Lexi gasped and pulled her hand out of the way before the MEAN kitty could scratch her. "Yeah. I am not getting kneazle pox from a dirty old cat. What about... that pretty orange one with the big fluffy tail there?" she said as she pointed to a little fluffy cat.

...

She was terribly distracted when Tuney had a go at Evelyn. HEHEHEHEHE. "Tuney. HEHEHEHE. You're total win. TOTAL!" she exclaimed with GIIIIGGLES.

Wait... was she the only one or did that NOT make sense? Lexi snorted at Evelyn and turned to Neptune instead. "I think that would be punishment for the cat to have to put up with her really," Lexi said to her with a NODNODNOD.

Rose was going to catch a cat... Awesome! She moved forwards to one of the cats and it started to move away. She edged forward and got close enough to smooth it, and it started purring. The cat let her pick it up, and take it back to class

Janice then spotted a cute little cat that reminds me of her own cat back at home.
She picked the cat up and went back to the class. Apparently, she smelled so cat-ish that other cats followed her in.

Kurumi had lost track of Walnut in the mass of fur and diving students. "Walnut! WALNUT!" she called hoping that the kitty would respond to her in some fashion. When there was no meow in response, Kurumi knew it was time to bring out the big guns - or small as the case may be.

Digging through her pockets again, Kurumi pulled out something that she always had in her pocket - tuna fish cookies for Walnut. It was a recipe that she had made up just for the cat using soy flour and whole wheat flour - along with tuna fish of course. The moment Kurumi pulled the small bag from her pocket and a low crinkling noise filled the air, Kurumi knew that was enough to get a certain kitty's attention. Sure enough, she saw ears perk up and in the next few moments Walnut had come bounding across the room and had his paws on her leg. "If I give you this, you are going straight back to the common room, you got that?" she said kneeling down next to the cat who was bouncing up and down and pawing at the air.

Once Walnut had seemingly bowed his head in agreement, Kurumi handed him the cookie which he immediately devoured. "Back to the common room," she said as she pointed her finger towards the exit. Thankfully, the cat didn't need told twice and he sauntered his way out of the corridor.

Kurumi melted to the floor, exhausted from chasing after the cat for the past...well...however long she had been in this area chasing cats. Now she had to chase after another one...Kurumi wasn't entirely looking forward to this. Maybe if she just sat really still with the tuna fish cookies in her hand one would just walk right on up to her? It was worth a shot.

Kurumi sat very still for a few minutes as she watched everyone chase and dive after cats, that clearly had been feed too much catnip, with a tune fish cookie resting in her right hand. Suddenly, she felt something wet and scratchy like sandpaper licking her palm and her head snapped around to see a monster of a cat licking every last crumb from her hands. It looked like her was about to go after her fingers next.

"H-H-Hello," she stammered as she observed the cat who then began sucking on her finger like a baby on a pacifier. Shifting her position a bit, Kurumi straddled the cat, bent down, and tried to pick it up...but the cat didn't budge an inch. Taking a deep breath...Kurumi tried again and put more stress on her legs and...SHE DID IT! She had picked him up!

Sadly, the cat weighed like 100 thick dictionaries stacked on top of one another, so Kurumi was only able to make it a few inches before she had to put the cat down and try again.

This was going to take some time...yo heave ho?

Salander kinda just stood there, cats meowing and running all over the place, students practically reduced to their level in the attempt to capture them, some even resorting to looking like them-- eyes shifts amused at Lexi and Neptune.

Without his wand he couldnt do a simple summoning charm. But being wandless was the least of his concern, he felt like he wanted to tear his face off. Whyd it get so itchy all of a sudden? He eyed the cats zooming by between his feet as his vision started to water. Then out of the blue he opened his mouth and---

Ahh-AHHH-AAAHHHCCCHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This is class isnt boding well for him uh uh.

The cats have gone wild and crazy. Aiden wonders how in the Wizarding World could she catch a cat without using magic. She sighs. Then, Aiden sees a cat playing with a catnip at the corner of the corridor.

Taking off her robes, Aiden tip-toes towards the cat from behind. After that, she throws the robes onto the cat and quickly grabs it into a sack. "Got you!" she smirks while holding the robes-turned-sack. The sound of the struggling cat could be heard as it is trying to escape.

No wand means no magic. Shaw has to be crazy forcing them to pick up stray cats and not using magic. Jonathan was not a cat person. It's not that he doesn't like cats, it's just that the thought of those sharp claws and freaky eyes is making him scared. Maybe that's why he only owns an owl and nothing more. No fish. No frogs. No dogs. No cats.

GULP.

Jonathan looked at the others trying to catch, manipulate or whatever they're doing just so they could catch one. Shaw's orders. Jonathan spotted a catnearby, probably resting near the wall. Jonathan went up to the cat and he bend down.

He tried fumbling the cat's head lightly, hoping and wishing it's not intending to attack. You know how cats are. Luckily for him, the cat stood up and came up to him. "nice kitty" he said taking out his cookie in his pocket.

That was easy. Jonathan picked up the cat and returned to Professor Shaw. One cat is enough right?

Viola stood, feeling tired, exhausted and really stupid. She has been chasing after cats for ten minutes. TEN MINUTES. And, she couldn't even catch one. Ugh. What a waste of time!

Really, this was getting to be ridiculous. Viola wondered if she could ask someone to help her. She just couldn't do it by herself. She brushed her hair from her sweaty forehead and looked around for someone who would be kind enough to help her catch a cat.

Freya was never really good with animals especially cats. So she had a little no scratch that she had A BIGGGGGGG problem catching one. After all her attempt were failed she's ready to give up. Then she saw a younger Hufflepuff girl who seem had a same problem like her. Two people were better than one, right? She walked towards the girl. "Hey. Mind if I join you?" she asked hoping that she's okay with it.

Okay, this was gonna be difficult. How was Layla going to catch one little kitty when they were scattered everywhere? She first tried chasing after them. That didn't work, so she tried a different approach. There was a black and white one sitting alone in the corner, it's back to her. She decided to just let it munch on it's catnip while she crept up. But as soon as she was a few steps away, it's ears perked up, and it ran. She now walked around looking for more cats. Maybe if she just went for a bigger one it would be easier to catch. There was a good sized brown one just walking by it's self nearby. She slowly walked around it. And theeenn.... "AHA!!!" She shouted. It hissed and spat at her. "Do you really think that that's going to do you any good?" She whispered to it. There was one thing Layla forgot- Cats are faster and more nimble than humans. It clawed the air and dashed through her legs. Her hands were not fast enough. Seriously! She thought. How is anyone able to do it! After a while, Layla thought up a plan. She went to a more crowded area of the corridor and sat down, her back against the wall. She started cooing like a pigeon. A couple of cats turned, but only a small cream colored one came near. It was close enough that she could stroke it. She reached out her hand and it came closer. It sat in her lap and Layla stoked it. After a little bit, she picked it up and took it to the classroom.

She had to CATCH a cat? This was unbelievable, like really really really unbelievable. She'd never ever ever got on with this professor, all the way back to when she dropped her cage on him in Diagon Alley. And now, NOW she had to catch a cat. This was revenge. A mass, wide revenge for everyone. EVERYONE

Her cat more precisely.

QUEENY She shouted, Queeny, here puss puss puss. She said, peering around every single corner, for her tabby

Viola was exasperated. She felt like running away. Why? Why did she have to go through this?

Viola looked up as she heard someone walking towards her. An older girl. Slytherin, judging by her robes. She smiled at her with relief. "Hi. Yeah, that would be great." This was wonderful. Now, she didn't have to chase cats alone. WOOT. "I'm Viola, by the way."

Simon wished he had his wand because he hated cats, this Professor was crazy to release cats into the school, he wondered if the headmaster knew about the mess that the cats could cause and what happened if one didn't want to be caught and started to attack him then that wouldn't look good would it.

He looked for any cat that looked like it couldn't put up any fight but he couldn't find it, he wished he had a lion with him then it would make it a lot more fun and easy but at the minute it looked like he would be there all month.

Amy was this close from just picking up a random ferel cat and throwing it at the professor when she spotted someone familiar, Siiiimmmooooon she whined, forgetting how she was meant to be beyond miffed with him. Help me, pleeeaassse, she whined, she didn't know if Simon had a cat but she certainly did. A cat she liked and didn't fancy losing. She missed her wand, if she had a wand she could summon her cat, but NOOOO she had to do it like a stinking muggle didn't she. Bloody shaw

*mumble, mutter*

I'll help you?

After spotting one innocent-looking cat just sitting at a spot licking it's body. Hayley approach it as quick and silent as possible, not wanting the cat to run away, which leads to her chasing it..

Okayy.. Just close enough to the cat, she squat facing the cat and does the action that she always do to especially any animal and where everybody would think a lunatic would do. "Please don't bite me... I have a cookie -thankfully she thought - just be good enough to let me carry you to the classroom? I promise to be nice and gentle..." in reply, the cat just meow at her.

Does it mean good? Hayley then takes her favourite cookie, brakes in into little pieces and throw one lightly to the floor near the cat. ... ... ... ... ... tha cat sniffs it, at then eats it.. The cat then looks at her hopefully for more and meows at her again.. "Really????" Then she threw more bits of it until the last piece..

"Okay..." She threw it, and when the cat is still munching on it, Hayley just grab it at walk to the classroom ignoring more meows from the cat...

Simon looked as someone said his name, he was about to say he would when he realised who it was, she had slapped him in the face earlier and now she was wanting him to help her, if it wasn't for the fact that this was a class he would have told her she had more chance in Hufflepuff winning the house cut this term than him helping her, but since it was a class he decided he would at least help her even though he didn't like cats.

"That's it." Simon said as he saw the cat Amy was looking at "I'm going in." And with that Simon was like a lion walking slowly then when he was near he leaped but the cat was to quick and Simon landed on the stone floor with a slam. "Ouch that hurt." Simon sighed.

Back to kitty catching. Ooh! There was one. Running towards them, feral looking, and it's tail was all fluffy and fat from being too wild. Great. If it ruined her cloak, she was going to demand that Shaw buy her a new one.

"You think.... that I'm like that kitty? I'm sooooo not your type, Evelyn." Sooooooooooooooooooo wasn't. Giggle. Funny thought. "Did you want to join us?"

Truth was, Neptune hadn't ever really minded Evelyn. Felt sorry for her sure, but ... Shrug. She WAS without her resident-idiot and usual Slytherin gaggle.

She was terribly distracted when Tuney had a go at Evelyn. HEHEHEHEHE. "Tuney. HEHEHEHE. You're total win. TOTAL!" she exclaimed with GIIIIGGLES.



Wait... was she the only one or did that NOT make sense? Lexi snorted at Evelyn and turned to Neptune instead. "I think that would be punishment for the cat to have to put up with her really," Lexi said to her with a NODNODNOD.

Neptune turned her attention to the big orange one. "Awwwww! Aw he looks too... sweet to be so un-taken care of. Let's MAKE that one ours!" Intense. Neptune Bott was being intense about kitty catching.

She jingled her charm bracelet at it. "Kiiiiiitttyyyyyyyyyyy...... come hereee......"

The cat backed away slowly.

Penny had been running around the sixth floor for about 15mins now... She'd seen a few cats, but they had scampered as soon as she'd approached them...

Rounding another corner, Penny spotted a beautiful cat sitting below a portrait of an old man... walking over to the cat slowly, She spoke to it soothingly... hoping the cute kitty would trust her enough to approach..

Holding her breath, Penny walked very slowly towards it, then kneeling down she put her hand out and the cat slouched to her, Penny smiled as she picked up the cat, the cat purring and Penny stroked its ears..

Penny made her way back to the transfiguration classroom and Shaw.

Look I know you're miffed at me and everything- she began to speak. But hang on one cotton picking minute here, Simon was helping her? Had he had a personality change when she'd slapped him. Or maybe he was just happy because the team had won. Either way, he was trying to help her. So she'd help him.

She spotted a cat who looked neither too ferel, nor to agressive and began to stalk it, getting low to the floor, here puss puss she tempted the cat, clicking her fingers in front of it, she reached out to grab it-

BANG

Amy turned to see Simon, face down on the floor, sighing and whining, dude are you okay? She asked, leaping forward and snatching the cat, before walking over to him, you want some help? She asked, pointing to the cat he could use. Now she had to get her tricky missy. Hmmm
