This is the lay out of the specimen. This project revolved around the cat species of The Asia cat (A.K.A The Malayan Cat) a breed developed in Britain. The researchers determined if given a certain amount of human genes and DNA and a willing subject, they would be able to manipulate the genes to create a humanoid that can be used for government purposes in the future.

The researchers chose the Malayan cat named STARLIGHT as the owner was willing to provide for the study. Once in their custody, the researchers started to manipulate it’s genes with the genes of SHERLOCK HOLMES provided by his sibling MYCROFT HOLMES.

The observation months:

Month one: Cat is showing no physical signs of genes being manipulated.

Month two: Cat is developing a human facial physicality.

Month three: Cat is now able to stand on hind legs with the assistance of bars to keep it up. It has now a more developed human physique than the previous month.

Month four: Cat has now a more ‘human’ face. Like one of a child but it is human nonetheless. Similar to the donor SHERLOCK HOLMES. The scientists decide to do surgery on it once its face develops more. The hind legs and front are developing more. It is now able to walk in a straight line for three minutes.

Month five: Surgery has been done, now any form of cat physique is only noticeable in the eyes and the mouth. Its face is now completely human. Scientists decide to leave the cat ears on as it would be too much of a hassle to try and make it develop human ears. The specimen is now able to walk on its hind legs for thirty minutes without any form of assistance.

Month six: Scientists manipulate the genes in the skin. Now the specimen doesn’t have as much hair as it did in the previous months. The front legs have developed into human arms; it is still not used to its new developed physique but isn’t minding it so much. Lessons and speech class will be done in the next few weeks.

Month seven: The cat can now react to certain situations when asked questions and given puzzles. It is learning in an impressive rate. The specimen can respond to its new name: “Sherlock”. It was able to speak a few words such as:
> Sherlock > Holmes > Hello > Good bye > Why? > What? > When? > Where? >How?

Month eight: It is now able to speak in complete sentences. It doesn’t stand on all four unless it is given food. The scientists have now developed a new form of mind exercises for the specimen to practice when not being tested or experimented.

Month nine: Scientists decide to finally allow the specimen to go out and experience the outside world. It seems to be intrigued and interested in the surrounding. It attempted to run away but it has been detained.

Month ten: Scientists are able to manipulate its way of thinking using television. It is now thinking like the donor.

Month eleven: It has developed deductive and logical reasoning. It will not allow itself to be easily drawn in comparing to how it did in the earlier months.

The specimen has developed quite handsomely during its eleven months of observation. The scientists have concluded that SherCAT has a developed speech pattern, logical and deductive reasoning, and is now a proper humanoid compared to their last attempts at genetic engineering.

However as time continued to pass by, the specimen refuses to interact or assist the scientists in anyway possible so this whole project has been cancelled. The scientists were to put the experiment down but MYCROFT HOLMES intervened and decided against it as he took the experiment and paid generously for it. Now the creature is in the hands of MYCROFT HOLMES. No further information has been provided since its departure.
