Summary

18-year-old Nathan Langford is a stowaway on a ship that crashes into a rock, sinking the ship as it breaks apart. There are few lifeboats, but Nathan manages to get onto one of them, it was the last one and he was the only person to get into it, and he did not want anyone to find him, so he set off in it before anyone else could get into it. But the sea was rough, the lifeboat hit something hard, punching a hole in the boat, so Nathan had no choice but to ride it upside down. He passes out from exhaustion. The boat drifts toward a lone Island, he comes to and shouts out but gets no reply and when he just about to believe that he is all alone a group of cat women start walking toward him, their bodies all covered with fur, yet oddly they are wearing clothes. The leader of the cat group informs him however, that no males are allowed on the island, as it their law and-also, they have no need for men. Nathan pleads with the leader; he tells her that he is stranded on the Island with no way to get off it. The leader offers him a way out of his situation. He must become one of them. Meaning that she will use her powers to transform him into a cat girl, as magic is the natural way of life for the cat women. Nathan agrees to be transformed, since there is no real other alternative. But the transformation goes wrong for some odd unknown reason. He is only partially a cat with cat’s ears, a tail and his hands and his feet are halfway between being almost like paws. Not only that, but he is also not a girl.

Prologue

Author’s Notes:

This story has been very much inspired by a video that I had watched on YouTube. The title of the video is: *I Shipwrecked on the Island of Feline Women and They Begged Me to Save Them from Extinction*

For this story would not be possible without its inspiration. My story follow’s a similar theme, where a young man gets shipwrecked and lands on an Island that is populated by a group of cat women. But that is where the similarities end, as my story takes a dramatic and quite a dynamic shift in what happens to the male lone human survivor. But you’ll have to read the rest of this story to find out, what that shift is.

I dedicate this whole story to *I Shipwrecked on the Island of Feline Women and They Begged Me to Save Them from Extinction*

Prologue

Nathan Langford was 18 years old, and he had short blonde hair, blue eyes and he was 5ft 4in tall, and he was onboard the HMS Britany, that’s going way too fast and it was heading toward a craggy rock the captain of the ship cannot slow down the ship barking the command

“*Abandon Ship*” Unfortunately there was not a lot of life boats, Nathan managed to get on one, but a high tide whiscked him away and the boat hit something hard, puncturing the life boat, leaving Nathan with no other choice but clamber on top of the boat with it being upside down and using it akin to a surf board, he passes out, due to exhaustion.

He was washed upon a lone Island, he looks around and shouts “*Hello* But gets no reply, just when he thinks that he’s all alone on the alone on the Island, a group of cat women start walking toward him, they are humanoid like, but covered with cat fur with cat features, pointed ears and a tail. They are dressed in almost Amazon like garb, a top that looks like a bra, covered with fur, their skirts are almost the same, but of different colours, as so are the cat women.

A black one approaches him and talks to him. When she talks, she has a soft purring lilt to her voice, but sadly she spoke in a language that he simply does not understand. He collapses, the cat women put him on a stretcher made out of wood bark, the black cat woman keeps on talking to him, it seems to Nathan that she is trying to sooth him as he slips in and out of conciousness. Nathan finally comes to and he is taken to the High Elder of their tribe.

The name of the Island was Catera, and the cat people women are Caterans. The High Elder she has gray silvery fur, she is old, in fact, she is ancient and she is the oldest Cateran alive. But when she speaks, to Nathan, it is in his own tonge, but with a purring lilt to her voice.

“You should not be here human.” She was not soclding Nathan, her voice was soft, yet firm.

“I am sorry, I never intended to tresspass. I got washed up here on your Island, my boat is beyond repair. I’m sorry, but I have no place else to go.” Said Nathan with tears in his eyes.

Suddenly he felt a soft paw on his face wiping away his tears, it was the High Elder’s paw.

“I am Yama, I am the High Elder of my Tribe. We are called Caterans and this Island is called Catera. Pray tell, what is your name human?” Asked High Elder Yama.

“My name is Nathan.” Said Nathan.

“Nathan, I am sorry to say that my Tribe are all females and that they would not be comfortable with you being here. But not only that, It-is our law, for our kind reproduce in a unique way and our kind are all born females, so we have no need for males, therefor no males are allowed here.” Said High Elder Yama. Nathan looked worried and panicked.

“I’m sorry about that. Are you trying to suggest that you want to turn me into a cat woman?”

“I’m sorry Nathan. It is the only way that you will be able to stay here.” Replied High Elder Yama, soothingly.

“But I do not want to become a woman, or a cat for that matter. I’m quite hapy with being the way that I am.” Replied Nathan. But suddenly he felt something hit his neck, something like a blow dart. He tried to reach for it, but he passed out. When he came to, surprisingly, he was not fully transformed into a cat woman.

However, his eyes had changed to cat green, his short blond hair was now long soft and silky, like a girl’s head of hair, he a pair of black cat ears and a long black cat tail and he felt feminine, but his body was still physically male. High Elder Yama looked completely surprised.

“This is unprecedented. You have not fully transformed, but you have partcially transformed.”

“Okay, that explains the ears and the tail, but why do I have a strong need to wear frilly pink dresses etc.?” Said Nathan, noticing just now that his voice was softer and it had a puring lilt to it. High Elder Yama’s smile widened. “How old do you feel to be?” She asked.

“What?” Asked Nathan. High Elder Yama giggled. “It is a simple question enough. How old do you feel yourself to be?”

Suddenly the answer came to Nathan.

“I’m a three year old girl kitty.” Nathan looked shocked. Had he really just said that?High Edler Yama’s smile widenend even more.

“Well, by Kara’s tail. You’re a Kittling.” Said High Elder Yama in an odd happy tone of voice.

“K-Kittling?” Remarked Nathan in bewilderment.

“Yes, Kittling. That is what we call outr little cubs and I sense feminine and girly instincts in you, yet physically you remain male. This is confusing.” Said High Elder Yama.

“You’re confused. I’m confused and who is Kara?” Nathan asked.

“Why Kara was the High Elder before me. She now resides in spirit form. I must consult with her about this dilema.” Said High Elder Yama.

“Oh, I guess I will wait here then until you come back.” Said Nathan.

“No. You are needed to see and speak with her too.” Said High Elder Yama.

“Me? How?” Asked Nathan in shock.

“Come, I will show you and introduce you to Kara.” Said High Elder Yama, who took Nathans hand that was semi paw like, not fully a paw, more like an almost partial one, with human characteristics. Nathan went with High Elder Yama. She took him to her Hut.

“Kara. I call upon you, as I am in urgent need of you.” High Elder Yama suddenly spoke to nothing at all.

Then suddenly right before her and Nathan, a golden shimmering form of lioness-like figure appeared, but her body was translucent, like that of a ghost. When she spoke, not only was there a purr like lilt to her voice, it some how tinkled, almost like wind chimes. Here eyes were very bright and her smile was very wide, as her eyes gazed upon Nathan.

“Well this is must unexpected Yama. You have brought to me, the very first and only Sissy Kittling.” Said Kara with a tinkling laugh.

“Sissy?” Remarked High Elder Yama.

“Link with me Yama and I shall pass all of the knowledge that you will need to know about Sisies.” Said Kara, quite odly.

High Elder Yama gave Kara a delicate curtsy, then she stood up straight and suddenly she seemed to stiffen, she did not move from where she stood and she did not speak. Kara looked completely identical to High Elder Yama, she had the same stiffness about her, yet Nathan felt something, something that he could not name. Even though he could not sense what knowledge that Kara was giving to High Elder Yama, he at least could sense that High Elder Yama and Kara were communicating with each other, telepathicly. The communication was soon suddenly over. High Elder Yama looked both shocked and surprised.

“Now that I know what I know. That puts me in a bit of a conundrum. I mean what do I do with him?” Asked High Elder Yama referring to Nathan.

“She.” Corrected Kara. “Yes, I know that she has a male physical body. However, on the inside, she is all girly girl and a Kittling too. Yes not fully a Kittling, she is part Kittling now and Part Human. Regardless of her physical form, you must embrace and accept her as one of our kind. She is more than girl and Kittling enough on the inside and in part, on the outside. You cannot, must not turn her away, all because she is not fully a woman or a Kittling. She is completely Unique. There is now officially no other Kittling, that is like her. Treat her as the three-year-old girl Kittling that she clearly feels herself strongly to be, regardless of the fact that she is neither little or physically a three-year-old Kittling.” Said Kara firmly.

High Elder Yama looked shell shocked.

“But what about my Tribe!” Remarked High Elder Yama.

“Tell them to accept and ambrace the only Sissy Kittling in all of Catera.” Said Kara in a factual tone of voice. She then cast her eyes back to Nathan.

“Pray tell little one. What is your name?”

“N-Nathan-No, it used to be Nathan, but not any more. I am Kittykins.” Said Kittykins with a purr. Kara smiled, widely at her.

“My, what a pretty and unusual name you have there Kittykins. I am Kara and you are very much welcome here sweetie.” Said Kara soothingly.

Suddenly Kittykins performed a delicate curtsy, even though she was not in a dress yet.

“Thank you High Elder Kara.” Said Kittykins sweetly. Kara smiled at her.

“You are quite welcome little one.”

Suddenly, High Elder Yama came up to Kittykins and gave her a big hug. “I accept and embrace you Kittykins. Welcome to my Tribe.”

“Thank you High Elder Yama, that means a lot to me.” Said Kittykins.

“Stay here. I will need to mind link with the rest of my Tribe here and share with them, what I now know too about Sissies.” Said High Eler Yama, with happy tears in her eyes.

“Y-you can mind link with all of them?” Asked Kittykis, in shocked surprise.

“Yes my sweet little Kittling. I can mind link with all of my other Kittlings.” Replied High Elder Yama, as she stood now stiffly, her mind reaching out to connect with the minds of her Tribe and she shared with them the same knowledge that she has about Sissies.

High Elder Yama’s eyelids fluttered rapidly as silent communication pulsed through the village like ripples in a pond. Kittykins clutched her own tail nervously, the soft fur damp between her fingers. Outside the hut, distant gasps and murmurs rose and fell in waves. Then—silence.

What an interesting and unique opening! I really enjoyed how the author introduced the world of Katara and the Caterans. The concept of Nathan arriving on the island and becoming something completely unexpected immediately creates curiosity and makes me want to know more about his journey.

I found High Elder Yama and Kara’s characters fascinating, especially the way they handled Nathan’s transformation with compassion instead of rejection. Kittykins' situation is definitely unusual, and I’m curious to see how the tribe reacts and how she adapts to her new life.

The world-building, the mysterious island, the mind-link ability, and the idea of the Sissy kittling all add a fantasy element that makes this prologue stand out. A very intriguing start, and I’m looking forward to discovering what happens next.
