Accessing Revision 03 of file SCP-XXXX…
Special Containment Procedures: Identification of all members of SCP-XXXX is ongoing and is a Class III priority. It is believed that some members of SCP-XXXX have been contracted by the Foundation in low-clearance jobs (janitors, technicians, administrative staff for Foundation front companies) and thus employees of Clearance Level 2 and below have to be periodically screened for connections to SCP-XXXX. Any prospective new employee of the Foundation must be verified to have had no contact with SCP-XXXX prior, and is vetoed from employment if any connection is found.
It is suspected that SCP-XXXX is in control of a few low-risk and low-disruption anomalies. Retrieval of these anomalous objects is currently a Class IV priority.
Investigation about the (probably anomalous) methods of indictment into SCP-XXXX and concealing of their activities to the Foundation at large is ongoing.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation for a Group of Interest of unknown name, motivation and reach, although primary research suggests it has a minor sphere of influence. Information about the activities of this GoI is limited, and is suspected to be intentionally anomalously obscured; however, it seems to be correlated to the presence of anomalous objects or phenomena

Special Containment Procedures
SCP-XXXX is to be hosted in a standard medium-sized avian enclosure, and given an appropiate diet for a member of its species, with artificial flavoring appropiate for carnivores, primarily housecats. No materials or objects usually referred by a composite name1 are to be used in SCP-XXXX's enclosure. Specialized D-Class Personnel with aphasia or similar status are the preferred option to handle SCP-XXXX in its enclosure; these personnel are not to be aware of the composition or structure of SCP-XXXX's enclosure.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be stored in a standard Low Value Anomalous Item containment locker in Site-914, or otherwise destroyed if lacking research or strategic value. Under no circumstances is any SCP-XXXX-1 instance to be exposed to any active semantic anomalies.
SCP-XXXX-2 instances are to be handled in a similar way to SCP-XXXX or otherwise terminated if necessary. Creation of new SCP-XXXX-2 instances is not to be performed except with explicit authorization from the Site Director. However, at least two live instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be kept on separate Foundation Sites to replace SCP-XXXX in case of serious injury or death of the original instance.
Description
SCP-XXXX is a female black catbird2 of undetermined age. SCP-XXXX exhibits behavior dissimilar to a common member of its species, instead exhibiting behavior consistent with a domestic cat3 including social interaction with humans and other species, hunting behavior and eating habits. This does not extend to its internal physiology, and thus SCP-XXXX requires feeding and other care appropiate for a bird of its species.
SCP-XXXX exhibits a Type-II ontosemantic decantation effect: objects and entities referred to by composite naming in where the individual components of such a name are recognizable suffer a change at the ontological level by forcibly separating the component concepts. In simple terms, this means that any object or entity subject to SCP-XXXX's effects starts showing the individual characteristics of each of the terms involved in its naming, e.g. a greenhouse subject to its effect might acquire the appearance of a common house and a green tint. This effect is subjective and depends on individual perception. Individuals who have received academic formation in linguistics or otherwise have deep knowledge of etymology or related subjects are able to trigger sharper anomalous effects; conversely, individuals with medical conditions affecting their development of language are often incapable of activating SCP-XXXX's anomalous effect. Objects affected by SCP-XXXX are collectively designated SCP-XXXX-1-#.
SCP-XXXX-2 refers specifically to SCP-XXXX-1 instances that are birds of any species commonly referred to as a "catbird". They exhibit the same behavioral anomalies as SCP-XXXX and replicate its main anomalous property. It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX is the source of the anomaly, or if it is a SCP-XXXX-2 instance itself created by a previous trigger. It is also unknown whether other species of animals or objects can replicate SCP-XXXX's semantic decantation effect; so far, only catbirds have been shown to have this property.
Both SCP-XXXX-2 instances and cats socialize with other SCP-XXXX-2 instances as if they were other cats. This implies that the semantic decantation effect present in them is not limited only to human perception, but that SCP-XXXX-2 entities really "are" cats to some degree. Study of the metaphysical properties of SCP-XXXX-2 instances and other SCP-XXXX-1 objects is ongoing.
