Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Euclid. SCP-XXXX (while in its 'cat' form) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a 'five by five' meter long standard biological containment box. SCP-XXXX's containment box is the be outfitted with no less than four high-powered water jets pointed at SCP-XXXX at any given moment in the event of a breach and to be outfitted with one-way glass for safe observation when viewing or researching SCP-XXXX. Should SCP-XXXX ever turn into an instance of SCP-XXXX-2 or a containment breach occurs, SCP-XXXX(-2) is to be doused with a minimum of at-least three liters of water to keep SCP-XXXX(-2) docile for the longest amount of time possible. SCP-XXXX(-2) is most docile whilst within it's SCP-XXXX form; getting SCP-XXXX(-2) wet will keep it within it's SCP-XXXX form until it "licks" itself completely dry, after-which it will resume any previous activities. Under NO circumstances should SCP-XXXX come into direct eye-contact with any living biological beings. SCP-XXXX-2 Description: While observed, SCP-XXXX takes the form of a common gray 'Felis Catus' house cat with bright orange eyes and large ears. Unlike typical cats, SCP-XXXX doesn't need to eat or drink, or the need to expel waste. (Investigation is still ongoing to decipher if SCP-XXXX has always held this anomalous property, or it was a result of its other properties gathered from SCP-XXXX-2). When being observed by an individual, SCP-XXXX will attempt to mimic typical cat behavior, such as playing, running, sleeping, etc. If no individual observes SCP-XXXX for long periods of time, SCP-XXXX will begin to feel excessively stressed and alone (see addendum 2), this will occur until it begins to slowly transform into it's secondary form (Referred to as SCP-XXXX-2), which activates the majority of it's anomalous properties. While SCP-XXXX-2 has never been directly observed, the foundation has used video feed from a previous containment breach (see addendum 2) to observe SCP-XXXX-2. While SCP-XXXX-2 is active, SCP-XXXX-2's most distinguishable and consistent feature is its red eyes, which is theorized to give the creature night vision, other features of SCP-XXXX-2 constantly change depending on the ability it's trying to use. Anytime a living organism comes into contact with SCP-XXXX-2 (including humans, plants and other animals), SCP-XXXX-2 seems to 'collect' certain properties from the organisms it has come into contact with, and has the ability to utilize them at it's will. (Note from Dr. ████: the properties SCP-XXXX-2 appears to receive from an organism is completely random and it appears it can only take a characteristic from the organism once, meaning that SCP-XXXX-2 is safe to come into contact with a creature in which SCP-XXXX-2 has already 'collected' it's abilities, however doing so is still restricted). During this phase, SCP-XXXX-2 is extremely aggressive and will use any of it's abilities it has collected from other organisms to attempt to stalk and 'hunt' any other organisms (especially humans). If a individual observes SCP-XXXX-2 during this time, it will revert back into SCP-XXXX, forgetting everything that has occurred while it was SCP-XXXX-2 (see addendum 2). However, unless SCP-XXXX is returned to it's containment chamber, removing visual contact from SCP-XXXX for longer than ten to fifteen minutes will have it transform back into SCP-XXXX-2 with the intent to kill the individual who viewed it initially. Recovery Details: SCP-XXXX was discovered in Alberta, Canada in 19-03-████, when an individual in the city of [REDACTED] contacted the police force about 'an evil, talking cat'. When an officer was dispatched to check up on the citizen who claimed to be under-attack and in 'great pain', all he found was kitten above the corpse of the man who contacted him. While the officer was busy reporting his findings to the dispatcher, SCP-XXXX-2 began to manifest behind him, killing him without him even looking at or noticing SCP-XXXX-2. After this, the dispatcher reported this anomalous event to the foundation, who sent in some MTF Units to secure SCP-XXXX with little trouble. + SCP-XXXX-2's confirmed abilities - SCP-XXXX-2's confirmed abilities 1.) The ability to speak (Likely obtained through human contact)

2.) The ability to breathe underwater (Likely obtained through contact with an aquatic animal)

3.) The ability to grow extra thick fur at will, or lose fur at will (Obtainment method not known)

4.) The ability to allow it's eyes to process colors invisible to the human eye (Likely obtained through an exotic animal like the Mantis Shrimp) [https://www.livescience.com/42797-mantis-shrimp-sees-color.html]

5.) The ability to build basic, crude structures (Likely obtained through contact with a beaver or similar mammal)

6.) The ability to create a 'social-stomach' (Likely obtained through contact with a species of ant)

7.) The ability to extend it's tongue (Likely obtained through contact with a lizard or gecko)

8.) The ability to grow quills on it's torso and propel them at will (Likely obtained through contact with a small mammal like a hedgehog or porcupine).

9.) The ability to administer lethal poison through it's claws, teeth and 'quills (listed above)' (Likely obtained through contact with a species of insect)

10.) The ability to [REDACTED] (Likely obtained through contact with SCP-████ during a containment breach). Footnotes:

SCP-XXXX-2 is NOT able to collect abilities from inanimate or deceased objects, regardless of the objects anomalous properties.

The Dispatcher that has reported SCP-XXXX to the foundation was working for the foundation undercover.

SCP-XXXX has been seen to use certain abilities that it would normally receive only while in it's SCP-XXXX-2 form, however such events are rare and the only evidence of this was from the above interview.

Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Euclid. SCP-XXXX (while in its 'cat' form) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a standard foundation biological substance containment chamber with reinforced glass panels near the outside entrance for easy viewing of SCP-XXXX. The entrance to SCP-XXXX's containment chamber is to be guarded by no less than two armed guards, who must maintain visual contact with both the entrance and SCP-XXXX at least once every two to three hours to prevent a possible containment breach. SCP-XXXX is not to come into contact with any living, biological organisms (especially humans or other SCPs) under ANY circumstances (Failure to follow this rule will result in harsh reprehension's). Should a containment breach occur, direct eye contact must be made with SCP-XXXX in-order to keep it in its cat form. While direct eye-contact is being made, dousing SCP-XXXX with water (via a spray bottle or other means) while it is within it's 'cat' form has proven effective in maintaining it's 'cat behavior' and keeping the creature docile even when not observed, as it'll attempt to lick itself dry and will continue to do so until it believes that it has cleaned itself, after-which if not re-contained (via picking up SCP-XXXX and returning it to it's containment chamber) it will proceed transform out of it's cat form once again and resume where it has left off. While in containment, SCP-XXXX is usually cooperative with foundation staff and will not attempt to breach containment while under supervision.
