Item #: SCP-2572-J
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2572-J are to be contained in a play area adjoining SCP-2572-J and have the ability to go between the two rooms as desired. This containment area should have all of the same amenities as SCP-2558-J. Any personnel of Level 1 or above are authorized to interact with SCP-2572-J, but removing them from containment is generally discouraged.
Description: SCP-2572-J is the designation for a group of five (5) cats (Felis catus) of different breeds.
At any given time SCP 2572-J appear to be average house cats spare for their anomalous ability to go into a semi-liquid state, dubbed "Goop-mode" by researchers and staff. This state is controlled by SCP-2572-J and is completely voluntary although outside interference can affect this. This liquid state varies among instances of SCP-2572-J mostly due to factors such as mood, surroundings, accompanying personnel, and other instances of SCP-2572-J nearby. This liquid state varies in consistency, viscosity, and elasticity, the cats are perfectly healthy and content in this state with normal body functions continuing. The liquid state appears as first nature to any instance of SCP-2572-J.
Discovery: SCP-2572-J was created in an experiment in which SCP-2558-J was put into SCP-914 and turned to the "one to one" setting. Dr.███████, who was the researcher in charge of this experiment was demoted to D-class after purposely going against protocol by giving the instances of SCP-2572-J away before proper testing could be completed, as punishment he was charged with hunting down all instances of SCP-2572-J along with and taking orders from MTF Mu-5 ("Kitty Catchers"). Over a course of three (3) months and spanning a search of no less than three (3) states, results were deemed ineffective and resources were relocated to scan the internet for possible instances of SCP-2572-J, as the anomalous abilities of SCP-2572-J were still unknown, results of this new method of search proved equally ineffective for the same reasons. Eventually, standard anomaly detection teams found a possible instance, and MTF Mu-:3 ("Kitty Catchers") were dispenced and captured the first possible instance of SCP-2572-J, others soon followed with the team amassing a collection of thirty-three (33) cats, five (5) of which were known to be instances of SCP-2572-J. Over the course of 2 weeks, D-1315181514 (formerly Dr.[EXPUNGED]) sorted through the subjects with various tests sorted out only the most liquid of cats, getting the number down to six (6), one more than what was in the original letter, but due to the inherent fluidity of cats sorting has proved difficult.
Addendum: Junior Researcher Ricky has been made head researcher of SCP-2572-J both to test his eligibility for promotion, and his previous relationship with instances of SCP-2572-J.
Junior Researcher Ricky as part of routine handling sat down, SCP-2572-J-3 laid down on his lap before turning liquid, junior researcher Ricky could barely contain himself from "the overwhelming cuteness," SCP-2572-J proved difficult to remove from his lap due to its slime-like state.
Junior Researcher Ricky witnessed SCP-2572-J cleaning itself before it fell off the side of a table, turn to its liquid state mid-fall, land on its face and flatten out before springing back up again, land, and continue cleaning itself as if nothing had happened, resulting in Junior Researcher Ricky doubling over in laughter.
As part of an experiment, an instance of SCP-2572-J was allowed to breed with an instance of SCP-2558-J, the resulting offspring to have the combined properties of both SCPs. these kittens dubbed SCP-2572-J-ex and are described as "feeling like one of those squishy children's toy balls with hair, you just want to squish 'em and they love the attention."
Junior researcher Ricky has been dubbed "The King of the Slime Cats," by staff, junior researcher Ricky accepts this title as she is often seen in a kiddie-pool covered in liquid cats with all of them purring loudly.
Notes: "We have thirty cats running amock and costing us time, money, and resources, but goddamn it, I don't have the heart to end this, they're all just so cute." 05-██
Under no circumstances is Dr.Bright to be allowed a large slingshot or an instance of SCP-2572-J-ex, whether it be for research, shennanigans, or "just a bit of fun," even though the subjects are not likely to be hurt.
