Another nice one, but not a true transformation.. although I understand the idea of it. The idea that putting on a suit like that is almost like a real physical transformation..

In any case, I assumed that the costume was going to merge with him and turn him into a REAL anthro panther. Ah well.

I will say that in this story and the other short one (Beautiful Night), you do a good job of illustrating the protagonist's anticipation and excitement at the coming change, be it real or not.
