Why this should be read: When Sam walks into Daniel's office and finds a kitten sitting on his office chair, the conclusion is inescapable...

This is my favorite kind of crackfic: utterly hilarious, perfectly in character, with zingers flying all over the place. Great fun!


"Listen, I know it's weird. But you have to admit we've been turned into stranger things before. There was that time we turned into cave people, the time we could read minds, the time we all switched bodies, the time we turned blue, the time-"

"I get it," Cam interrupted, holding up his hands. "And by the way, please, don't ever remind me of those little misadventures."

"I'm just saying...look at him. The first time I looked at his face, I knew." Cam looked. The kitten, which when sitting just fit into Sam's cupped palms, was a nice, rather unusual tawny-brown color, with faint tiger stripes running through its fur. Its paws were too big for its body, and its ears were too big for its head, as very young kittens' were wont to be. It had round blue eyes, pale whiskers, and a pink nose. It was cute. It looked like a kitten.

"It just looks like a kitten, Sam."

"Look at his face, Cam."

Cam sighed, rolled his eyes and looked. The kitten looked quietly back, catching and holding his gaze. And, though it was in all other respects a perfectly normal kitten, the searching, rather pensive expression on its kitteny face was sort of familiar. Those eyes - it had knowing eyes.

Intelligent eyes.

"See?" said Vala.

"Oh, crap," Cam murmured. "This is not good."

"Mew," agreed Daniel.
