Down on the first floor Karyn headed towards the part of the mansion where she thought the clinic was. I just followed her and admired the view for the most part, though I sometimes paused to sniff at interesting scents or bat at dust motes in sunbeams. Eventually we reached a set of double doors that had a set of deadbolts on them -- I could catch a faint scent of chemicals and medicine from the other side. "This looks like it," Karyn commented, still in the sexy maid's outfit, and opened the deadbolts and the doors.
The next hour or so had me padding after Karyn as she dashed from room to room making exclamations like "Wow!" and "Incredible!" and "Wonderful!" and all that. There was a library two stories tall with all the shelves filled with books on animals, biology, and animal medicine. A couple storage rooms looked stocked with various animal care supplies and equipment and a couple of tiled-floor rooms with rows of cages in them. Karyn just gave me this grin when she saw those, and I studiously groomed myself and ignored her while she examined them. The examination room had a large sliding door that led outside as well as a fully adjustable, re-sizble exam table that looked like it could be unfolded large enough to hold a horse. "Jon, all this stuff is state of the art, top of the line," she murmured, awed. "I don't think this could have been any better if I had wished for it directly!" There was a few office rooms plus a small waiting and reception area with outside access to a gravel parking area.
We did find a loading/unloading area by one of the store rooms, and there were several boxes with handwriting on them that Karyn recognized as her parents'. I could smell Karyn's scent on the items inside, too, as I rubbed against them. "That looks like everything I owned," Karyn muttered. "Now I just got to get it unpacked and get my clothes out!"
"Darn." I stretched in a long, slow feline way and yawned. "Guess I'll just have to find something to wear and change back, then. I wonder if my parents are going to send over my stuff, too?"
"Not so fast, kitty!" She kneeled and scratched my ears and neck some more. "Before you stop being a cat, I want to play doctor," she said, grinning. "There's books on feline anatomy in the library, and I want to examine you and compare you those." She scratched up and down my backbone. "In fact, you could be a big help in helping me study to be a real animal doctor! You can become all those different kinds of animals, and I can practice some things on you -- and you can talk back and let me know if I'm doing things right or not!"
"Hmf!" I purred anyways and then started trying to lick her fingers. "I don't know about that."
"You did say you'd do anything, pet," she pointed out. Drat. "Besides, how else am I going to learn how to be able to take care of you?"
I sighed and put on a much put-upon look. "If my mistress insists," I said dramatically, then leaned over to nuzzle her cleavage with my nose.
Karyn let out a small exclamation. "Jonnnn!" She giggled, though, and blushed a bit before pushing my nose away. "Let's see, it's almost lunch time, too... what to do..."
