Chapter Reviews:
niraD: Thank you for your review. Though what you said is true that she did noticed the changes on her anatomy, but it's more of her physical memory that didn't give her a full attention on the change. Subconscious, maybe.
And yes, she could had to investigating on her change almost immediately, but there are two reasons of why she did not do that - 1) the above reason; "Subconscious", which her mind couldn't realize the full change, such as her physical size, fluffal tail, etc. and 2) she didn't want Bogo to murder her for being late, determined her being top police in the class along with Nick.
Lastly, yes, her color hadn't changed. As explained in the story's head summary - "...but they kept their place, things, memory*, and their fur color..." - which proved that Judy is still Judy, with her uniform and fur colors that Dharma could realizing her that easy. Since Judy's the only cop in the apartment, so it's obviously.
Additional, the detail of why she didn't straight to that will be explaining in few chapters (to be honest, I also focused on Nick as alternative chapters, back-n-forth between both characters).
N.J.W.H: Yup, one of many "characters switch bodies" stories. And my apology for making those chapters super short. It's because it's the morning and they barely realized of how they were affected by the switch, as I explained to niraD.
Additional details that I didn't explain to niraD - if you have read/watch "Noragami" (also known as "Stray God" in English released). It is say that you don't see almost the whole image in one shot. As seen in the start of Volume 2 (of the manga), the girl, who is protagonist of said manga, didn't able to catch on four waitresses because of the "blindspot". Same reason that the waitress that served the drinks didn't see the God of Calamity and his "blade" servant because they're technology 'invisible' to the ones that are little too busy on the job.
So approve that logic to this story; Judy didn't see the whole image of her being "Oh, I am a fox!" image because her mind was focused on getting to Precinct One in time. But yes, she did notice that she got claws and her things "shrank" as far as she believed. While in this chapter, let's see if Nick could detailing out more than Judy did.

For once, I had never thought that the bed felt this comfortable in the morning. I laid on my back with my limbs sprawled out. I would have liked to sleep in until noon, but I recalled that I had daytime duty - the first fox police on the force of Precinct One. How disappointing.
"Hm," I flinched as i felt the itch on my muzzle before I put my left paw to my face and slowly scratched that spot.
Once I started to scratch my muzzle, I felt the end of erasers on tips of my paw in the place of sharp claws. The itch in my muzzle was long forgotten as I sat up rapidly and opened my eyes in surprise. I put my paws in front of my face and saw that I had a pair of tiny paws instead of those I used to know. They looked like to those that Carrots had, included the padless parts. I blinked as I lifted my ears that were heavier than I was used to.
"Argh," I grunted as the red flashing in my sight.
A blinding red pain exploded in my head so I put my paws on my head, trying to get it to stop. But it was no use. I crawled off the bed with some struggle - per usual, I relied on my night vision to move around, but now it's morning. With the pain filling my head it was challenge to stand straight let alone walk in a straight line. Well, trying to see was not an option due to the red pain, which perfectly blocked my vision. And it's good that I slept in my casually clothes. Those were what I wore during my conmammal days. Otherwise, it would take a huge effort to change clothes while I was still blinded by the red pain. I started to moving toward the door and found myself unable to reach the door within the usual number of steps. So I fluttered my free paw in front of me as I tried to feel for the door while I walked.
"Ah," I said, which I couldn't able to pick up with my ears, as I touched the door and proceeded to opening it.
Suddenly, I remembered - I was on third floor of the building where I was 'home'. Ergo, the travel down to the ground floor would be challenge. Wish I had taken the one-floor building to stay in instead. I pulled the doorknob to open the door and proceeded my way out of the room that I was stay in. Immediately, I pulled up the building map in my mind and I tracked my location in the building. That was very useful in my conmammal days when I had to pull an escape. I should forget about using the elevator as I couldn't see where to go or see the buttons. Normally it takes me seven steps to go from my bed to the door. But this morning it took ten. Argh, my head. The headache had my mind unfocused. I blinked my eyes as I could feel the tears running down my muzzle. The red pain was still in my head as I moved toward the stairs if I could remember the specific distance. It would be a longer journey due to the increase number of my pawsteps. I felt like I wanted to run like a rabbit.
"Hm," I sighed as the pain lessened, but still I could only see red. As a bonus, my mental map returned.
I had to recheck my location - thirteen steps from the room where I was staying. If I had to measure of the distance since I awakened, it would be another ten of my current sized steps. I was a little wobbly as I continued. Ok, more than ten pawsteps because of my unstable balance. I lifted my paw to my muzzle and wiped the tears off, instinctively, as I did my best to move toward the stair 'door'. Once I went past the doorframe and proceeded to step, I found out that I couldn't feel the solid floor. That was the first step of the stair. I had to bend my knee so that my hind paw would be able to reach the next step. Once my hind paw touched the platform, my weight shifted to that paw before I moved my other hind paw to the stair tread. This continued until I reached halfway to the second floor. My ears slowly folded backward, reducing the tone of red in my vision, and allowing me to see what coming up next. The muscles that support my ears had stiffened during the headache. I increased my pace down the stairs because I was able to concentrate.
Once I reached the first floor, I sighed, "Auuh."
It would be a challenge for me and my poor ears. I tried to block the red pain out before I reached for the doorframe and pushed myself forth, exiting from the staircase. I grunted as I had expected, the red pain flooding in my head, mainly my eyes. I turned to the left as I shook my head and started to make my way toward the entrance of the building. I lifted my paw to feel the cold glass of the door and pushed it open, which allowed me out of the building. The color that flooded my eyes changed from red to white as I proceeded.
