Evolution of a Talk Show Hostess

April sighed ever since the mutagen incident that apparently did nothing more then beef her up physically she's has a pride of alley cats following her home. As a talk show host she was able to afford a new apartment, one that allowed pats so it wasn't so bad. But for some reason she felt ill today. Dragging herself in her door the cat mewling about her feet she pulled herself over to the fridge and opened the door. The fridge was filled with chicken, fish burgers and other meats and lots of milk. She hasn't really had toe appetite for anything else lately. Pulling out a carton of milk she ripped open the top and dropped it to the floor. The White liquid spilled out on the linoleum and the cats rushed to lap it up. Grabbing another carton she walked over to her couch and collapsed back onto it. Leaning back she open the second carton and began chugging from the contents. Milk ran down her cheeks and along her jumpsuit until the entire carton was empty. Casually she tossed the carton aside and looked at the mess she made of herself. She sat back up and was about to take a shower when the doorbell rang, suddenly she looked disheartened as she remembered she was going to be interviewed today. She made her way to the door and opened it, but what she didn't expect was for the newsman to be Vernon! Before she could react the cameral was rolling and Vernon opened his mouth.

"This is Vernon with April O'Neil of Channel 6…[Vernon abruptly stopped his introduction] April are you all right?"

"Just a little tired Vernon."

April momentarily glanced down and stared at her hand, her nails really needed to be clipped. Once again Vernon asked if she was all right, she growled annoyed, it didn't sound human. Vernon pointed to April's ears a moment and she felt up for them. They had grown several inches longer and were broader then before. The world began to spin and April took a few steps back as did Vernon, the cameraman kept rolling.

April began to blink rapidly as her eyes began to shift about, as they became feline. She bent forward grunting as her teeth got progressively sharper. "What's going on?" April bent down as the camera continued to roll and tried to loosen her boots. Quickly looked behind her and felt her back as a fur-covered tail quickly grew out. "What the?!?!" She began to breathe quickly as she began to panic. Her eyes glanced back down at her hand, which was beginning to thicken at the palm and stiffen. She lurched forward onto her arms and grunted, as they became pawlike. Across her body a think layer of orange and black striped fur began to sprout. Her ears slide their way up the side of her head and began to thin out until they sat atop her head like a tiger's ears; they twitched reflexively. Just then the toes of her boots burst open exposing a clawed toe. Soon the other 4 clawed toes followed them. The foot continued to stretch out rending the boots apart. 5 toes quickly merged into 4 while simultaneously her hands lost a digit. The hair soon grew out into a full blow pelt and she kept herself propped up on the floor on her hands and feet. Her legs began to change neck, the foot stretching out and the lower portion of the leg thinning out into digigrade kind legs. April continued to grunt. She arched her head up inadvertently staring into the cameral as her face stretched out into a muzzle. Her head dropped back down as her arm finished up their paw-like transformation. Slowly she stood up shaking her body a little to get her bearings. Her clothes were torn full of holes from the changes. Her body was even better built. And April O'Neil was an anthropomorphic tiger, an Adult Mutant Journalist Tiger! Her mind flooded for a moment with tiger instincts and for a moment she was lost to the beast. She growled loudly and charged toward the cameraman. Suddenly there was a crash as Shredder burst in and came up behind April slapping on a mind control collar around her neck. Immediately April fell docile and squatted to the ground. Shredder petted her absentmindedly as he addressed the camera.

"You see, mutant's are a threat, they took my cure and turned April into a monster. I was forced to use a device to make her controllable."

"B…but the other mutants weren't wild," stammered Vernon as he got up his courage.

"How do you know? Those broadcast were pre planed, but as you can see here on this life show something those mutants did has driven April wild.
