They ventured down to Kitty's containment. They opened the door. Kitty was pacing back and forth and snarling and salivating.

"Oh, Kitty..." Her mother turned into her husband and sobbed.

"Kitty? That can't be you." Her father said holding her mother.

Kitty growled.

"Wait here, hon." He left his wife standing there and he approached Kitty. "C'mon Kitty. It's Dad. Please remember." He got closer outstretching an arm.

Kitty snarled and roared at him.

"C'mon, you don't mean that. It's your ol' dad. You're our itty-bitty kitty." He crouched on his knees and out-stretched his arm just before her nose.

Kitty paused and sniffed the cologne.

"That a girl. Do you remember me? Kitty?" He asked with a half-smile.

Kitty looked up with her eyes, and then furrowed her eyebrows. She parted her lips in a snarl and flashed her white teeth. She snapped at her father who pulled away and fell to the floor.

She sobbed loudly with the tears running down her face. "Why? Why?" She repeated over and over again. They were in the doorframe to the room and she repeated, "Why? Why? Why has our daughter become such a monster?" Jean helped them out of the room.
