Katt stood there motionless for a few seconds,
then turned her head and looked at him through blinking eyes.
Was he going crazy or did her pupils suddenly look small and shaped like those of a cat?
``And?'', she asked pointedly.
``Satisfied?
Is it what you wanted to know or am I not monstrous enough?"
After some hesitation Andrew stuck out his hand.
he had to stand up to get to her,
and even the he hesitated again before touching her.
When he finally did it,
it was the strangest feeling he had ever had.
It felt like regular cat hair,
but it was on the back of a \textit{human girl},
and that felt more uncanny and\textit{wrong} than he couldn't have imagined a second ago.
Katt recoiled slightly and shuddered from his touch,
but Andrew had the feeling that it was for a completely different reason.
He quickly chased away that thought and pulled his hand back.
Katt turned around to him and laid her head into her neck to look up at him,
and for a moment they were very close to each other.
Her eyes weren't slits like cat ears any more,
instead being large and round and seemed to be endlessly deep.
Her look was so vulnerable and shy that it reminded Andrew of a scared deer.
He raised his hand again,
and the curtain behind them was pushed to the side and a hissing voice asked ``Am I disssssturbing you?''
Andrew recoiled so quickly and abruptly that he tripped over the chair that he had just been sitting on.
For half a second he stood there in an almost grotesque stance,
waving his hands in the air to try and regain his balance before he fell over.
For once he didn't hurt himself,
but he still lay there for two,
three seconds before struggling to his feet.
Ratt stood in the door and held a metal bowl with steaming contents in her dainty hands.
She grinned shamelessly as her gaze wandered between Andrew and Katt.
Katt had taken a step back as well.
All of a sudden it seemed that she was embarrassed to be in front of Andrew like that,
because she folded her arms in front of her chest for a moment before bending over to collect her clothes and slip into them.
``No'', she belatedly answered Ratt's question while attempting to skewer Andrew with her glances.
``Andrew just wanted to see how far my deformations reached.''
``I never said that!'', protested Andrew.
Of course he had said that.
At least \textit{meant} it.
Katt left it at another scornful look and stuffed her shirt into her pants with angry movements.
Andrew could see in her eyes that she was getting more and more embarrassed that she had gotten undressed in front of him with every second.
Ratt grinned even wider and got closer.
Her tail was waving amusedly while she held out the bowl.
Andrew automatically grabbed for it and just barely didn't drop it.
The metal was as hot as its contents seemed to be.
He quickly took a step back and set the bowl on the table.
Ratt's grin didn't change a bit the whole time,
but he was pretty sure she had done it on purpose.
Her hands looked as vulnerable as baby fingers,
but apparently she could withstand significantly more heat than he could.
Or she had just kept her cool very well.
So as not to make the situation even more uncomfortable,
he hastily set the stool that he had just tripped over upright and fished the rusty spoon out of the bowl.
Of course it had slipped in,
so he had to burn his fingers even more while he was fishing it out of the hot soup,
but he would do anything to keep Ratt's grin from growing any larger.
Without making a face he wiped the spoon handle,
then his hands on his pants and started eating.
