hi! am neither of the anons from above, but this idea got its claws into me made me start writing and this is what happened. i hope you like it, OP!England knows magic. He's well acquainted with the mystical, supernatural and downright strange, which is why he doesn't even blink when a fiercely attractive woman suddenly appears in the chair opposite him. He doesn't raise his eyes but takes in the dress, the feathers and the beads, and decides to ignore her until she goes away

America doesn't talk on their way through his house, which possibly unsettles England even more than suddenly having fur (although, if he's honest, sudden transformations aren't actually all that rare for him, especially considering the company he keeps. He once spent an interesting week as a girl, but he prefers to pretend that never happened). England tilts his head so he's looking up, can see America's face totally unguarded for once and he looks so blank, with no obnoxious grin, that England tries to say something and ends up meowing quietly instead.
America glances down, and the corners of his lips quirk up at the sight of the kitten staring at him. It's an improvement, England thinks. "Hey. You got a name?" England meows again. "No? Hmm. Well, how about... Esmeralda? or Olivia? Like your eyes, yeah?"
What is wrong with you, England says, but it comes out like a confused yowl and America takes that as agreement

xDD This is so unbelievably adorable, you don't even know. I just love Alfred with animals. It's my headcanon that he's got a certain soft spot for them and England as well, but that's a different story.
Oh my, today I come home from helping feed seven little foster kittens, and what do I see? Why two amazing fills of course! I feel really rather loved to be honest, haha.
But, I digress. I must say that I really do like where this is going. America, in my head-canon, is a total animal lover, so of course he'd play hero and save the cute little kitten on his door step. Being the dork I am, I really love the reason for him naming England "Olivia", too. I like how England is acting too, especially how he was at the begining of the story while talking to Native America's ghost.
Keep up the good work, anon! Also, the title isn't terrible at all, I think it's quite fitting actually.

this took longer than i expected, sorry! i've been making plans and writing bits further on, so i know where this is going. thank you so much for all your lovely comments! in case anyone was wondering, this is how I imagine kitty!England: http://substar.deviantart.com/art/Somali-Kitten-Cuteness-60360861 (his eyes are more of a striking green, but that's pretty much it :D)England wakes up slowly, feeling oddly warm and contented. For a while he doesn't question it, just savours the happy sensation and eventually stretches out with a long, satisfying yawn, before suddenly tumbling onto the cushions as America sits up with a startled yelp. He still has claws, then

He promptly trips over his own feet.
It shouldn't be that hard, he reasons, after the second try, to make his limbs move in sequence without wobbling, tripping, or simply collapsing, but it is. He tries jumping forward instead, and that works pretty well, but he can't do that all the time. It would look weird. Third attempt and he makes a gangly show of moving one leg at a time - it works, he doesn't fall over, and his last shred of dignity dies without a fuss. He's met plenty of cats in his time! It cannot be that complicated!
Eventually, after a few solid minutes of trying every combination, his back legs move in time with his front and he's propelling himself forward and it's graceful and he can walk! And so he trots triumphantly into the kitchen, before remembering that, no, really, he's still a cat. He stops trotting

Aw, I just love this! I found it completely endearing that America cuddled "Olivia" during the "scary movie" and before he went to sleep. Also, I laughed really hard when I read that England wanted his tuna on some bread with cucumber and how his last shred of dignity died while trying to walk. I am little worried about America just eating a chocolate bar for dinner, but hopefully he'll make up for it with some real food in the morning. Good job writer anon (#1), I can't wait to read more!

sorry for the delay! there's been illness and uni and all sorts of fun distractions, sigh. -----
In the distance England can hear groaning, something low and pained and desperate, and as he blinks awake his outstretched hand becomes a furry paw and America is inches away, his eyebrows drawn and his mouth open, eyes screwed shut and England can't reach him. Git! Wake up!, he tries to say, and maybe America hears him as he turns his head towards the sound and whimpers

Change me back! he yells, and to the room it sounds like an vicious yowl but Native America's smile widens in understanding.
"So soon? No, sweetie, you're staying like this until he's happy." She reaches down and scratches behind his ears, not gently - he hisses again and jumps back, tries to bite at her fingers but she pulls them swiftily out of reach.
No, England replies, scowling as best he can. You honestly think this is making it any better?
"You're right," she coos, looking almost tender. "But, well, I'm enjoying this, and America is smiling more. That's good enough for now."
You're insane and I hate you, England doesn't say, but Native America laughs like he did anyway

England is almost relieved when America places the carrier carefully in the front seat of his car and wraps a seatbelt around it, holding him steady and secure. He's on a slight slope and his view is filled entirely by the driver's seat, but for the moment he's not moving and therefore is somewhat happier. That is, until the door opens and America slides in, starts up the car with a flick of his wrist and suddenly there's noise and movement and he digs his claws into the plastic floor as he feels the car start to roll - there's an unsteady moment as he tries to find some way to not feel like he's about to fall over, and eventually just curls up tightly against the side and closes his eyes. America doesn't talk, turns off the radio so it doesn't disturb the kitten and the resulting silence is stranger than the amplified vibrations of the car
