Having a shape-shifting barn cat has its advantages. Firstly, he can set traps and catch mice by hand. Secondly, he can attract other cats to the area to keep the snake population down. Lastly, he's a good helping hand in human form when he's up for it.

The biggest draw back rears its head in an unusual way.

Skip constantly seeks your attention, whether in human or cat form, he's territorial at random moments, he fights the other cats around the barn if they get too close to you, and unfortunately, he marks the barn and then asks you if you noticed.

These cat behaviors aren't too much for you, until he one day walked up behind you and bit your neck.

You swat him away, and he looks at you in confusion. "What? I'm just biting you, don't make a big deal of it." He kicks the dirt, looking down as his tail swishes. Clearly, he meant something by that bite, even if he wouldn't admit it openly.
