 Item number, SCP-529, Object Class, Safe. Special Containment Procedures. No special precautions have yet proven necessary. Josie is quite affectionate, and at this stage is free to move about the lower levels of the facility. Staff are not permitted to feed cheese to her. She will become distressed if not given sufficient cheese. Description. SCP-529 is a small house cat, Phyllis Catus, with gray tabby markings. Parts of the animal to the rear of the end of the rib cage appear to be missing. The body terminates sharply, as if sliced in two. In spite of this, the animal has no health problems, and moves about as if its hindquarters were still in place. For example, walking takes place as usual, and sometime after feeding the animal makes motions, as if to void itself of waste matter. The cross-section does not display the interior of the animal, but appears pure black to the eye and absorbs all non-visible wavelengths of light. It is slightly yielding to the touch. Gentle stroking of this area sometimes yields a positive reaction, purring and so on, but more usually leads to the creature turning on the agent, claws at the ready. Those scratched have experienced no abnormalities. Behind regions do not appear to be invisible. A cursory examination will show that there are no hindquarters. DNA testing has shown the animal to be female. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-528, Voodoo Putty, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.
