"Cat hair, check - why cat hair? catnip, check. Okay so that's everything."

Willow pushed a piece of hair out of her eyes and chanted the words of the
spell which would give her the feelings and experiences of been an animal so
she could get closer to Oz. There was a crash and the spell book landed on
the ground as a small rust coloured cat leapt for the bed with an
undignified yowl. The door opened and Buffy ran in and stopped, the room was
empty with only the faintest whiff of burnt catnip in the air and a small
cat sitting on Willow's bed. Buffy looked around the room worriedly,

"Willow? Are you here?"

Willow looked up from her bed and tried to call out to Buffy but the only
thing she heard was,

"Meow"

Buffy walked over to the bed and picked the cat up,

"Hey kitty how did you get there? Come on I'll let you out."

With that Buffy opened the window and put Willow out before shutting the
window. Willow growled and glared at the window,

~ Ahh shucks; I must have said something wrong. Now what am I going to do?
My Spell book is in the dorm room and Buffy's put me outside and even if I
could get back inside how would I undo the spell? ~

Growling she sat down and licked at a paw and then proceeded to cough,

~ Oh goddess, hairball, I've got a hairball. ~

Buffy sighed as she looked around the empty dorm room, Willow was here
earlier and now she was gone. Her eyes landed on the Spell book and she
groaned to herself as she picked up the book and looked at the page. Looks
like it's a job for Giles. Grabbing her coat and a couple of stakes Buffy
headed out the door.

Willow looked up from the grooming she was indulging in from habit as a
thought struck, Giles could help. Letting out a triumphant meow Willow set
off in the direction or so she thought of Giles' house. Several squashed
tails later after wandering though the campus coffee bar by mistake she made
it to the familiar front door of Giles' house just as Buffy came running up
the path and opened the door. Willow streaked into the house after her the
door just missing her tail. Pausing she looked around, everything was so big
and frightening. Fighting the urge to stop and play with that tempting piece
of dangly curtain Willow continued on towards the kitchen.

Giles looked up from his tea as Buffy shot into the kitchen gasping,

"Well erm what's wrong?"

"Willow's gone missing, she was in our room awhile ago and I heard this
thump and a yowl and when I went in she wasn't there and her spell book was
lying on the floor and a cat had come though the window. So I picked up the
book and headed over here."

Giles looked up from the spell book,

"What did you do with the cat?"

"Oh I put it out the window, you know the dorm rules on pets."

"Right then, you call Xander and.. and Anya and get them to met us here."

Willow looked from door to door she couldn't remember which door led to the
kitchen. Just then one door swung open and Willow jumped into the other one
just in time to avoid her tail been squashed under Buffy's foot.

Spike looked up from the magazine he was reading when the door opened and
something uttered a sound that was a cross between a growl and a yelp.
Looking over the edge of the bath he spotted a small rust coloured cat,
reaching his hands over the side he called out quietly,

"Here kitty, kitty, come to Spike."

Willow looked up and spotted Spike, running over she let herself be picked
up, finally she thought someone who can help me,

** Spike, it's me Willow you have to help me! I made a mistake in a spell
and now I'm a cat. **

Spike looked at the cat as it meowed and smiled as he tickled her under the
chin,

"Who's a beautiful kitty cat?"

Willow groaned, just her luck Spike couldn't hear her either, oh well she
thought I could get use to this.

Giles walked past the bathroom yelling something at Buffy, Spike only
caught,

"Willow's missing, tell them to stop erm what ever it is they're doing and
get over here now. "

Raising his voice Spike yelled,

"Watcher, what's going on?"

Giles appeared in the doorway,

"Willow's gone missing from their dorm room, Buffy's phone Xander and Anya
and then we'll research."

Spike stood up carrying Willow and walked towards the door,

"You know if you unchain me I'll help research."

Giles started sneezing,

"Okay, but where did you get the cat from?"

"I don't know it just wondered in, are you alright?"

Giles sneezed his eyes watering,

"No, I'm allergic to cats, can you put it outside before you come though?"

Spike nodded his head,

"Yeah, okay. Out you go kitty."

Willow snarled she'd been kicked out twice now. She hoped they figured out
who she was soon. She wasn't too sure she liked been a cat.
