Overall Summary: They're human, mostly. But Max and Alec are also part feline, and they got more than just super-strength and overly receptive senses from their spliced DNA. Series of 100-word Drabbles depicting Max and Alec's catlike traits.

Author's note: I've tried to make the feline traits as obvious as possible, but if you have trouble understanding it, let me know. I can add them in after each drabble if necessary. Also, this is a new thing for me! I really wanted to give drabbles a shot--and man, are they hard! Fitting everything I want to say into a hundred words is tough, so let me know if you enjoy them!

Disclaimer: Don't own Dark Angel or any of its characters.
