Quite nicely

It's a funny thing. You had all these ideas and plans, all these strategies for getting more people like Patrick or Lady Emira. You thought that Sandra had to be a one-off, that perfect mix of cunning, loyalty and love who would support you and yet keep everything secret from your other wives. All your ideas revolved around finding people who were morally flexible to start with but who still actually cared for other people and then reinforcing their loyalty, much as you have with Patrick. After Sandra and Patrick you've developed all sorts of interesting tests. Little things to let you judge whether someone is really right for the scheme you've created.

The last week has demonstrated that you may know about life but you still don't fully understand people. Harmony would walk across broken glass for Helena, that much is clear any time she looks through the scrying portal on your white furred wife. Even though Harmony is quite empathic by the time the week is out you've tried all sorts of ploys and you're sure that she's rock solid. You would have ruled out someone with such a caring personality right away - no chance such a person could watch you transform other women just like her into catgirls, removing their memories in the process... yet here she is, in the flesh and willing to help.

Sendrey is just as interesting. She's downright eager to be transformed so she can see how much flexibility, balance and control are improved by her new form. The chance to become more than just a dancing ****, the chance to become a teacher, it all feeds into her need for something to do now that she's realized she won't be able to dance forever. In a lot of ways it's like she's having a life crisis almost 15 years too early.

That same feeling has probably contributed to her developing relationship with Patrick. He might have a cousin and twin barmaids already hungry for his visits, but that doesn't mean he's going to reject a slender young dancer who wants to cuddle on the couch while she takes care of all sorts of tasks you've assigned. As far as that part goes, Sendrey isn't all that bright, so some of the things that Sandra, Patrick and Lady Emira took care of are little much for her. But she is keen to learn now that she's got the chance, so she's steadily improving - even during the first week. Besides, smarts aren't everything and she tends to attack problems from a different angle than you would.

At last, the week comes to an end...

You're satisfied. You've used every test, every idea you came up with to judge your current helpers. Both girls have passed with flying colors. Harmony looks a little skittish when the day comes, but Sendrey hugs her and pleads for the chance to go first, something Harmony is quite happy to agree to.

The redhead sits on the table and wriggles out of her clothes - the importance of clean skin and a lack of stray hairs has been explained to them both. Given how easily and sexily she strips down you're sure much of her dancing was of the seven veils variety. You know Sandra will be keen to make something like that a part of catgirl culture, if you let her.

In the last day Sandra has talked to both women about what they wanted as far as their fur and general appearance. Sendrey decided she wanted to have the same silky red fur that Sandra sports. That decision got an approving laugh out of Sandra, who tells her, "Mmmm, given how thin you are and the fact that blue eyes often come through unchanged for us redheads... yeah, you'll make a great dawnheart".

"What's a dawnheart?"

Sandra gently takes her hand and says, "We've tried to come up with types or tribes or - and this is my favorite expression - breeds of catgirls. Dawnhearts are girls with this silky red fur, who usually have blue or violet eyes. They tend to be pretty thin and for personality they're usually frisky, devious and sensual. I'm kind of the self-appointed role model, but I think you'll fit in nicely."

"Hmmm, what about all the other things, like tail length or bust size? Or hips? Or neck or face shape?" asks Sendrey.

"A lot of that stuff is all over the place. Some breeds tend to a certain type of tail, for example, and some don't."

"You said mostly blues and violets. What other eye colors can catgirls have?"

"From what I've seen amber rarely happens naturally with red fur. Red eyes are really rare too. I've never seen brown eyes for a red furred catgirl. Green and violet come up once in a while, but blue is the most common of all. So blue, violet and green are the main options for dawnhearts and most of us have blue, like me. That's not true for everyone - it's a totally different story for other fur colors."

Sendrey surprises you by asking Patrick what he thinks of different eye colors. Patrick gives her a long kiss and tells her he loves her big blue eyes. Then he rubs his knuckles in her hair so she squeaks and tells her no matter what the transformation does she's going to come out looking amazing and he's going to like what he sees.

"What about these?" she asks, cupping her breasts and giving him a sultry look.

"Didn't you listen to a word I said?" he asks, trying to cover the erection she just caused. Then he realizes that's not happening and decides to get some **** on her. "You know what, those are totally different. Nothing less than big C cups, just like you wife Yvonne," he says to you.

"How am I going to dance with that kind of chest?" she asks, sounding shocked.

"Oh, you ask for my opinion and now you don't want to hear it?" asks Patrick. Then he musses up her hair again and tells her, "Come on, lets just see what happens. And much as I appreciate you trying to give me so much... well, I really do like you a lot just the way you are. You don't have to try so hard."

"I know," she says, lying down on the table. "I'm just nervous and maybe I wanted to hear that a few more times."

You step forward and carefully clear away all the loose hairs from her body with a little static spell. You almost cast the daze spell by instinct, then stop yourself. The hairs take hold and Sendrey's body changes. It changes far less than most catgirls because she's so lithe and athletic already. But inside you can feel those muscles winding a little tighter. Her ribs pull in ever so slightly but her height stays the same at 5'6". Her breasts try to shrink down but you **** them to remain at their original size, a nice large A cup. Probably a good size for a dancer and one she's used to. Her tail fills out - long and thick with long red fur covering the bands of muscle beneath the skin - just perfect for balance. The only truly noticeable change to her physique is that her stomach sucks in even further. She had a flat belly before. Now she's got a concave belly and it's just as toned as it was before.

When it's over her eyes open, bright blue as before but now split by their new vertical pupils. Her ears, smaller and finer furred than most catgirls, twitch and swivel slightly as she takes in her surroundings. As she does you make a few further changes inside her body. As a **** dancer she's trained and performed, trained and performed for her whole adult life and probably a good amount of time before adulthood too. Her joints and tendons are worn down from all that, so you reach into those pieces of her body and rejuvenate them. Why have a catgirl dancer with a 24 year old's body, near to being burned out, when with some reasonable tweaks you can make her joints act as though she's 21 or 20? In the same spirit you make her tail and ears more sensitive so Patrick has some fun spots to play with.

When you say, "Okay, it's done," Sendrey springs from the table and does a pirouette immediately.

"Whoa, careful!" cries Patrick, but she's not listening. Instead she launches herself through several complex maneuvers and stops in a crouch.

"That's amazing," she says. Then she bends over backwards in a way that looks impossible. When human acrobats do that it looks impossible but when someone trained in that art does it with a catgirl body the result is a something else entirely. You know she hasn't broken any bones to get in that position but it's hard to believe.

Then, test over, Sendrey leaps to her feet and spins between you, Sandra and Harmony to launch herself into Patrick's arms. He swings her around, laughing. When he gives her a hug she purrs for the first time. Then she purrs even more deeply to test out this new feeling. "I understand why cats do that now," she says, giggling.

Patrick gives her a kiss and then gropes her breasts. As if he's having to put up with something he doesn't like he says, "Yeah, I suppose C cups would be a bit hard to dance with. I suppose these amazing, perky globes will do."

Apparently Sendrey hadn't noticed either. She sits in stunned silence for a moment and then feels her new breasts with her own hand, disbelief written across her face. "Oh wow, they are firm. And so soft and fuzzy. Was this something special you did?" She asks that while looking over at you.

"No, all catgirls tend to firm up. Just the way things are. Quite a lot drop a little in size, but I've heard no complaints."

Sandra says, "I can tell you, from spending quality time with all my wives, that catgirl breasts are all perky, firm or just a lot of fun."

Sendrey flicks her big, thick tail and smiles. "If I'd known just how good it was I would have begged for you to change me even sooner."

And then there was Harmony...

You think seeing Sendrey's reaction finally settled Harmony's nerves. She carefully sits on the table and disrobes. When she finally makes eye contact with you she says, "I want to be like Helena, whatever breed that might be."

Sandra says, "A moonblood then? Yeah, you'll look good as a moonblood, that's for sure."

As you select some fine white fur Harmony speaks up again. "There was one idea I had..."

Sandra leans in close and gives Harmony a kiss. "Let's hear it, don't be afraid."

"Well... you have Doe, she's all black fur, Helena is all white fur. Then Renee is Doe's sister and she has black fur with white all around the edges..."

Sandra gives her a big smile. "I see what you're aim at. Yeah, we did get one catgirl like that. It's very rare, but black fringes on white fur does look really nice."

"Do you think I should?" asks Harmony.

"My answer and John's answer are going to be a lot like Patrick's. What do you want?"

Harmony bites her lip and finally nods. "Black fringed white fur. It does sound really neat. But, if I decide I don't like it, would it be too much trouble to change it?"

"No, as long as you decide before anyone outside this room sees you." You slip one black hair from the cat that you used to transform Doe and Renee into the little bundle of white cat hair you used for Helena. A lovely bit of symmetry and a perfect way to welcome Harmony to your family. You could have sworn you said seven catgirls and a princess were enough for any man, but here you are, transforming another catgirl who you know Doe and Helena and the others will insist you marry as soon as possible.

When the spell is cast Harmony is quivering with excitement. The change is more obvious with her, shrinking her body down in many different ways. Her chest doesn't shrink, but there again she was just a middle A cup to start with. Her height drops to 5'4", but that just brings her closer to Helena's height so it's fine. You make sure her tail ends up thin, though sheathed in that fine coat of almost transparent white fur, just like her 'sister'.

The black fur seems to rustle and shift across her form, as if it's looking for the right places to call home. It settles, as expected, at the tip of her tail and the edges of her ears. Her fingers get none of the black fur, but her feet get an extra dose, making it look like she's wearing black socks that don't rise very far above her ankles. But the striking part is how it settles around her eyes, almost giving her some permanent eye shadow. It's pretty fine and light there, but it doesn't take much to change her face quite drastically and, you would say, for the better. To help make her look smaller without making her any shorter you encourage her waist to become even more narrow than it already is.

When her eyes open you get a surprise. Harmony originally had lovely blue eyes that you had no intention of changing and which you didn't expect the spell to change. But the eyes staring at you now are deep, gem-like purple. Sandra beats you to it when she says, "Wow, those look amazing."

Even Sendrey is shaken out of her cuddling with Patrick to take a look. She pokes Patrick and says, "This is why I asked."

"Hey, your blues are still very pretty. Stop worrying so much about your body. It's amazing."

Meanwhile Harmony is looking at herself in a mirror and has started crying. When you put an arm around her shoulder she hugs it and says, "It's really true. I get to start over. I get to have a new life with Helena."

"And from now on she's not like a sister, she is your sister," says Sandra, both warmly and firmly.
