Why This Must Be Read: The summary says: McKay is the only Shifter (Large Cat) who is allowed to go to Atlantis.But will he remain un-Bonded for long, even though it's the last thing on his mind? This is mostly a 'Canon' based story after chapter 2. Covering all five series and some beyond

This is the second story of three in the Kitty Time AU series the other two from NCIS and H50. Rodney is a shape shifter and he shifts into a huge beautiful blue eyed white tiger. A mission goes wrong and somehow he becomes bonded and the fun does not stop there. There are some lovely cute moments especially when Rodney in tiger form gives big cat hugs. I am not a cat person but I love stories with people changing into cats. This is one of my very favourite AU's


McKay was an enigma he couldn’t quite get comfortable with.

He was the best scientist they had, one of the sole reasons Atlantis was up and running, and keeping it that way. But he was also a Shifter.

John hadn’t had much dealing with Shifter’s before, in fact, before McKay he had never met one in person. And being part of the military he was never really expecting too, after all, they were practically forbidden to work in high risk situation because of their rarity.

He had seen some stuff on TV and in films about Shifters, but that was the basis of all his knowledge. So far, he hadn’t seen McKay Shift into his big cat form. Sometimes he even doubted he actually was a Shifter. After all, they were meant to be placed timid things, of which McKay was not.

Even though, after Simmons’s death, Elizabeth had told John he was now one of McKay’s chaperones along with herself and Zelenka.

It was annoying. According to Elizabeth, one of them had to be with him at all times, it was one of the stipulations the Shifter Registry back on Earth had imposed on McKay actually being allowed to come on the mission.
