Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 4.7m x 4.7m x 4.7m cell with a cat scratching post, windows on either side, and a bowl containing 4.5 ounces of distilled water. SCP-XXXX is only to be fed dry cat food once every three days and is mostly self-sustaining.
SCP-XXXX is stored at site ███ and all experiments are to be carried out only by Dr. ██████ and Dr. Torres with needed aid from D Class Personnel. D Class Personnel are not to interact with SCP-XXXX without specific instruction to do so from Dr. ██████ or will face intense reprimedation.

Description: SCP-XXXX has the appearance of a male hairless cat with translucent pink flesh, weighing in at approximately 128 ounces. The transparent skin of SCP-XXXX reveals a lack of bones in the neck, head, and tail of SCP-XXXX. The insides of SCP-XXXX appear that of a normal house cat, minus their stretchy nature and deep green color. SCP-XXXX, upon physical contact, has been described as sticky and malleable. Despite this, the organism seems to enjoy physical contact, brushing up against foundation staff when its cell is entered. Upon any contact received by SCP-XXXX, foundation staff have noticed slight irritation around and on the effected area.

Like other domesticated cats, SCP-XXXX is very fond of humans, can understand one's tone of voice, and similarly understand body language. Studies conducted by Dr. ██████ reveal that, while SCP-XXXX shares 95.6% of its DNA with the common household cat, the other 4.4% of its DNA comes from an unknown source, not containing natural nucleotides. These nucleotides fail to correctly synthesize nitrogenous bases, which has led facility researchers to believe that this is the cause of the organisms squishy anomalous nature. Despite many theories created by foundation researchers, none of them are able to explain the lack of bones in the neck, head, and tail of SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX has no specific drive nor motivation, as noted. Although found to be sentient, SCP-XXXX has only acted in its best interest; eating, mewing, and attempting to mate. Despite attempts by SCP-XXXX to procreate, all fetus have been stillborn, lacking most needed DNA from SCP-XXXX and being born without bones in undisclosed areas of their bodies. Dr. Torres was unable to find the initial cause of death of the kittens, but confirms that they were alive at some point in the womb.

SCP-XXXX does not require food to survive, but still demands it, mewing and clawing at the door of its containment center until food is provided. If no food is given to SCP-XXXX, it will attempt to bite personnel and researchers. These bites are not lethal by any means, and SCP-XXXX will not attempt to cause any harm outside of biting. Bites are, however, subject to infection and will require treatment from foundation staff when possible. SCP-XXXX is able to expand its face to take larger bites of food and victims, the largest bite measuring 15.24 cm wide and 5.7 cm deep on the leg of a Class D Personnel. Dr. ██████ has requested the interview with this personnel be hidden due to the subjects mental instability.

Addendum: SCP-XXXX was taken from a house located in ████████ Indiana after its previous owner had passed away. It was noted that the death of this previous owner did not involve SCP-XXXX. Sarah ███████, the previous owner, was a genetic engineer under investigation by the CIA for unethical and illegal experimentation on animals. Upon discovering SCP-XXXX, numerous other journals written by Sarah ███████ were discovered throughout the rest of the house containing SCP-XXXX. These journals are currently kept at site ███, only accessible to level B personnel and above. SCP-XXXX was allegedly created by Sarah ███████ in an attempt to fuse a living being with an object, resulting in SCP-XXXX. The object in which SCP-XXXX was fused to, and how it was fused, is unknown. The journals hinted that SCP-XXXX could understand human speech, but this proved to be untrue by Dr. ██████. Upon his request, SCP-XXXX is to be kept contained for testing.

The home in which SCP-XXXX was discovered is to be checked routinely for any other anomalous organisms or objects by foundation researchers, as well as search for further journals and files pertaining to SCP-XXXX. Upon investigation, █ stillborn cat fetuses containing some of the DNA of SCP-XXXX were discovered in the basement of the home. Dr. Torres notes that Sarah ███████ may have tried to breed SCP-XXXX as well, but for unknown purposes. Dr. Torres believes that an insufficient number of breeding attempts were made by Sarah ███████.

Several foundation veterinarians have been given the task of caring for SCP-XXXX, including Dr. Torres, who's initial response to SCP-XXXX has been recorded below.

Interviewed: Dr. Torres

Interviewer: Dr. ██████

<Begin Log, April 16th, ████ 13:49 >

Dr. █████████: Hello, Doctor. I assume your evaluation of SCP-XXXX went well enough?

Dr. Torres: It certainly could have gone worse. The organism responded as if it were a regular domesticated cat, and all tests proved inconclusive of its species. However… During my time in its cell, SCP-XXXX extended its neck and face like it were some sort of… Giraffe. Thankfully it didn't have a bad bone in its body, heh… But it seemed to be lacking in the first place. I would like to request the use of X-Ray scans on the subject… As well as a domesticated female to be added into its cell.

Dr. ██████: I will ensure that it is considered. Do you have any intention of breeding SCP-XXX?
Dr. Torres: I do. If there is any way for SCP-XXXX to reproduce, it would help to rule out the possibility of complete and utter anomaly, and perhaps lead to a newly discovered subspecies of domesticated cat. I believe- er, think that SCP-XXXX may be explainable with more time and research.
Dr. ██████: Understood, I will bring your request to the facilities chair. In the meantime, do you have anything else to note of SCP-XXXX?
Dr. Torres: Well, I think that its… [chuckles] I think that it could be described as friendly. But, other than that… Nothing outside of what you've already documented.
Dr. ██████: Alright. I request you conduct further research on SCP-XXXX shortly.

Closing Statement: Dr. Torres has agreed to further observe and test SCP-XXXX with aid from Dr. ██████, and research will continue with full funding until late May of ████. At that point, research will be put on hold in favor of funding more fruitful projects.
