Kitty Tastes a Powder

Tuxedo, a black-and-white kitten, stays overnight in her new adopted mom's office located at the Genomic Institute in Woodhaven, Connecticut. Through circumstance and error, the kitten meandered into a restricted area of the lab and ingested a Crispr formulation meant for destruction, but whose identity was erased prior to disposal.Professor Markus Rogers, a highly respected geneticist, must enlist the aid of his assistant Vanessa Vela and surveillance monitor Jexton to track and catch her. Risk as to what changes will occur in Tuxedo and legal issues confront him as he weighs his options under the constraints of the No Live Animals for Research (NLAR) law.Risking legal prosecution and professional disgrace, Nessa convinces him she will be loyal. The opportunity to keep Tuxedo under the radar as a rogue study is very tempting. Sworn to secrecy, Nessa proves her loyalty to Professor Rogers by staying silent even after his messy breakup with his live-in girlfriend Janet and his trust issues because of her.Janet uses Tuxedo as a pawn in her game of retribution with Markus, resulting in unknown consequences. Taking advantage of her temporary freedom, Tuxedo falls in love with Ivan but was then brutally assaulted by the feral Whitey Pink Eyes.Nessa's little sister Graciela visits while on summer break from high school in Phoenix, Arizona, and after arrival finds a close friend in Agnes with whom she does some experimenting, which influences Graciela profoundly.Alicia makes Nessa a confusing offer she must consider. Markus, ever the ambitious scientist, accuses Nessa of deception when he finds a dummy log of Tuxedo's test results. Markus and Nessa finally settle their divisive disagreement concerning Tuxedo. Nessa remains faithful, finally getting what she wants.When working with the correct mind a seeker obtaining knowledge makes a momentous discovery, and so will you after you read "Kitty Tastes a Powder."
