In the year 2028 a group of American Scientists were tasked with DNA splicing. Basically taking two sets of DNA and merging them together. The President at the time, Henry Armstrong, wanted to mix either dog or cat DNA with humans. The first two years went by with little to no progress. Either the unborn baby would die or the two samples wouldn't mix.
But finally it did and nine months later the first ever mixed species human was born. It apparently wasn't what the president had hoped for, he wanted a human with fur, Claws and a keep vision, so they could survive in the Arctic without much issues. What they got was a girl with a black tail to match her dark hair, nails that were sharp and long, but not claws and two sets of ears, one feline and one human. He scrapped the project after this 'failure' deciding he had spent way too much money on it.
They named the baby Ellie and had one of the scientists become her mother. For the first year of Ellie's life she was the centre of attention, everyone know of her, most were amazed by her. But as the years went on no one really paid her any attention apart from her 'mother' and the other scientists.
For Ellie's entire life she spent her time in the underground lab in Washington DC. There was a classroom for her, a playroom even a couple of people around her age, children of the scientists, so she could experience a somewhat normal life as best she could.
Unfortunately her mother died just after Ellie's 11th birthday due to Cancer. It took almost two months for her to get back to her usual self. After that, Ellie grew to dislike everyone in the lab and even tried to escape a couple of times. She felt as if none of the others did anything to try and save her mother.
As she grew, her behaviours and attitudes were recorded. She was very playful by nature, she slept curled up much like a cat, she would clean herself with her tongue because she didn't like the bath, but she would use the shower sometimes depending on her mood and she didn't particularly like wearing clothes, she only would if it was absolutely necessary.
By the time she turned 18 she had grown only to be 5 foot tall, slim but not skinny, small b cup breasts and her tail grew to be a foot and a half long and still fairly thin.

A few weeks after Ellie's 18th birthday news came in that the current president wanted to get rid of all evidence of what president Armstrong had done seeing as a lot of it was considered controversial or down right odd.
Most of it went by without issue but as soon as it came out that it would also include 'destroying the cat girl' a lot of the public went in to uproar. Petitions were made to let her live, protests were held outside the White House, but none of it mattered to Angela Right, the new president. She just wanted everything to do with that man dead and buried, literally in this case.
A small group of activists decided to actually take action and one night they broke in to the lab. There were four of them altogether, all in their early twenties. Cait, the leader, Mac and Dylan came in with her as back up and Tina was in the car waiting as they expected they would need a quick escape.
The three of them made their way sneakily through the maze like lab until they came across a door marked 'Ellie' and as most people knew the cat girls name, they knew they were in the right place. Armed with only stun guns they crept through, they was expecting it to look like the rest of the facility but found that it just looked like a large modern home instead.
"Hey, over there." Dylan whispered. Cait's eyes followed where he was pointing which was another door 'Ellie's room'.
"Alright, you two wait here, I'll go in and get her. Keep a look out and be ready to leave." she replied in a hushed tone.

Ellie's cat ears perked up at the sound of her door opening. She opened her eyes and saw it was still dark, luckily her vision in the dark was a lot better than a normal humans. She could see a lady slowly moving towards her bed. She had shoulder length blonde hair which was curled slightly, a dark tight outfit on which made her hips and D cup breasts stick out, a thin pair of black glasses and some leather boots on.
Ellie quickly shot up and extended her nails to an inch in length, along with making a grumbling sound, hoping to scare of this stranger. The lady stopped but didn't move away. The room was dark enough for Cait to only just see Ellie's outline but nothing more. "Hey, Hey easy, I'm here to help you." Cait said calmly and softly.
Ellie looked her up and down for a couple of seconds before speaking "What are you doing here? I don't know you."
"No but in a couple of days your going to be killed, I'm here to save you." Cait responded still with a soothing voice that made Ellie retract her nails.
"They said it was rumours." Ellie said but it came out as more of a question.
Cait moved a bit closer to the bed Ellie was sitting on "I'm really sorry, they probably just told you that so you wouldn't worry. It is happening and my friends and I don't want it too. Please Ellie, come with me, I'll keep you safe I promise." Cait held out her hand and after a tense few seconds she was relieved to feel Ellie's soft hand on hers.
"Is there anything you want to take with you, you won't be back here." Cait asked. Ellie walked around her room, she picked up a soft pink blanket which she immediately wrapped around her naked body and a picture of her and her mom which was framed beside her bed from when she was a kid. "You ready?" Cait asked when she felt Ellie take her hand once again.
"Yeah." was all Ellie responded with. Cait then led the pair back to her other friends. The hallways were slightly more lit up which meant Cait could see now too.
"Ellie this is Dylan and Mac, their friends of mine."
The pair then turned too see Ellie, they saw her in her blanket which only covered the top half of her body. "You didn't think to maybe get some clothes?" Dylan said.
Cait turned to look at Ellie "Oh shit, we don't really have time, she can borrow some when we get to mine." Cait replied and the three left and quickly got back to the car.
Mac sat up front with Tina as she drove, Dylan was behind her with Cait in the middle and Ellie behind Mac. As soon as they started driving Ellie sat up in her seat and stared out the window with her hands on the glass. "Everything alright?" Cait asked as she put a hand of Ellie's back.
"I've never been outside before, this is so cool" she said with wonder in her voice at all the sights around her. It was the middle of the night so not a lot was going on but it was the busiest place in the world from Ellie's point of view. A few cars passing them as they drove, the gas station was lit up with a couple of people inside and even a few houses still had their lights on.
After a 15 minute drive Tina pulled up to Cait's home. It was a three story mansion, which she could afford seeing as she won the lottery a couple of years ago. The win was over $100,000,000 and had set her up for life. She saved most of the money, only buying the mansion, a Range Rover, an old Porsche and a warehouse, which she paid for in cash, for her activist group to use as a headquarters.
Cait's took Ellie's hand and got out the large Black SUV. Tina rolled her window down "11am be at the warehouse and we'll discuss what comes next." Cait said then left to go inside.
