[There is a cat on the screen. A white cat wearing a red collar sporting a small silver bell and a green, tear-drop shaped pendant. He looks at the communication device for several moments with a pair of sharp, vivid green eyes.

Then the cat speaks.]

Ah, good, it's working.

[The cat's voice sounds... more or less as you might expect a cat to sound. He doesn't have a human voice, but rather the various sounds a feline might make are twisted around into entirely coherent words. He shifts in place, adjusting the position of his small white paws.]

I thought it best to get this out of the way as quickly as possible, having no wish to spend another year explaining that I am not someone's familiar. [His ears flick back momentarily.]

Nor am I a human choosing to look like this, or a simple housecat. Do not treat me as such. [The talking part probably gave that last bit away, but he's met a lot of stupid people. Mogget pauses here, and lets out a quiet sigh.

He ends the communication there, though one might hear a mutter of '--don't know why I bother' just before it shuts off.]

You are choosing to look like that, human or not, I hope. As opposed to being forced to be a cat. Beyond that, I suppose it doesn't matter.

You could do worse, for sure.

[He blinks once, and slowly.]

I'm no more choosing to look like this than you are choosing to look as you do.

[omnicrafter]

Really? Were you trapped in that form before you got here? Or is it just the magic of this place preventing you from changing it?

[themogget]

[It's a more complicated question than she thinks, and Mogget isn't in the mood to answer it in any great detail. So, naturally, he settles on being vague.]

Yes, and no. The magic here does prevent me from changing shape, and though this isn't my natural form I was able to alter it to some degree before.
