Any stories where the protagonist, human or pony, can turn into a cat.
Sorry for such a specific request.
Chapter One: A Cat Is a Wish Your Heart Makes
Rainbow Dash said, "Wouldn't it be amazing if I could turn into a cat?"
Twilight snorted. "Are you sure there would even be a difference? Cats seem to sleep all the time, just like you."
Fluttershy waited a moment to speak, to make sure she wouldn't be interrupting anypony. "Cats are very, very athletic. You would hardly believe some of the things I've seen cats do."
Twilight quirked her eyebrows. "Rainbow, where did you even get this idea?"
Rainbow said, "I just thought it would be cool, that's all. And you know I'm all about the coolness."
Fluttershy nodded. "I still remember how at Flight Camp you always needed an extra blanket to go to sleep."
"Hey! I've always been lean! It's not my fault I don't have any insulation."
Fluttershy added, "And a big stuffed turtle, and a big teddy bear. They were both bigger than she was, and Rainbow would wedge herself in between them. It was really cute."
"I needed them for extra insulation!"
Twilight chuckled. "The things I missed out on when I was a filly, by being a book horse instead of a stuffed toy horse. But the more I hear, the more Dashie really does sound like a cat. Wedging yourself in between pillows or stuffed animals bigger than you are to get comfy? That's a classic cat maneuver."
"You see? Twilight agrees! I would make a PERFECT cat!"
Twilight tilted her head. "Only one way to find out." Her horn started to glow.
Fluttershy looked around. "Twilight? Are you sure this is a good idea?"
With a sudden flourish of music from an unknown source, Rainbow Dash was lifted up into the air, with her head and forelegs held high, and her hind legs dangling downwards. She started to slowly spin. Wisps of cloud appeared in the air around her, imperfectly hiding her torso.
A childish voice (from the same source as the music?) cried out, "Neko! Ni! Nah...ri...mah...su!" A globe of light surrounded Rainbow Dash, so bright it hid the details of whatever might be happening to her.
As the mysterious globe of light faded, the spinning slowed and stopped. Whatever force was holding Rainbow up in the air slowly subsided, gently lowering Rainbow back down.
Rainbow sank gently into the soft, cushy surface beneath herself and the other two ponies.
Rainbow kept sinking, deeper and deeper...until she was no longer visible.
"Oh, horseapples!" Twilight said. "Why didn't you say a cat WITH WINGS?" She and Fluttershy ran to the edge of the cloud and leaped off, diving beneath the cloud to catch their friend.
You should be careful what you ask for... https://www.fimfiction.net/group/214603/fim-will-live-on-forever/thread/448703/cat
I love it
This is a perfect answer to that prompt.

Coming from you, your compliment means more to me than words can say. Or maybe if I was a better writer words could say, but I have to work with what I've got.
