Work Text:

They all love the animals, the creepy crawlies and other critters they find around
But mostly, they all love those cuter kinds of cuddlies, like Batcher, their resident family hound

Alas, some might say, the personalties of the Bad Batch members are those of cats
Loth-Cat, Tooka, Feline, whatever the word used, the resemblance is uncanny, a matter of fact!

Crosshair having joked about it often enough, the others sometimes too, telling Cross was the most cat like of the lot!
Alas, the others weren’t far behind, each having qualities fitting the feline kind



But, wanting one as a pet and actually becoming one were two entirely different things, right?
And yet wishing it enough, even behaving as such for a long while there… well, stranger happenings having certainly expired? 



And so, one early morning, they all woke up to some very annoying and certainly loud meowing
The noise coming from the galley, by the ice cooler, clearly someone demanding something? 



Milk!?

As it was, when the five of them had glanced around, they could see one of them missing:
Crosshair!



But had he gotten up already?

Tending to their obvious guest? 

The one meowing its little heart away?

Only when the rest of the family made their way to their kitchen, what they found was a white fluffy long tailed kitten sitting pretty, yawning and demanding
As the feline turned its pretty head, they could see the crosshair similar to the former sniper as plain there as day on its face


Cross?

Meow!

Oh no!

Yeah!

That happened!

Seems so!

What now?

Yeah, the miracle of sorts for sure having happened!
A wish coming true, or to that end!

Alas then, soon as that, one by one they all turned into similar creatures
One taller, one smaller, one heftier, one with an artificial limb, but they were all there, the six of them, turning into cats!

Batcher, the Lurka hound coming in from her morning rounds, soon enough found the six little cats meowing, all wanting her attention
Oh well, whom was Batcher to deny anything from her family, becoming a sort of a surrogate mom for those pesky creatures oh so demanding

Lesson learnt in here?
Be careful what you wish for, you may end up getting it!
