Suggested by enzotakerian
11-year-old girl Wendy Chapman is advanced for her age. She skipped a grade in school and she's third best on the gymnastics team. She also really loves cats. But her parents won't let her have one. Plus one girl on the team, Nancy, bullies Wendy for loving cats (because Nancy is allergic to cats). One day, Wendy and her friend, Tina, attend a cat convention, where Wendy "buys" a pretty cat necklace from a creepy old lady, who claims that the necklace will turn the wearer into a cat every night during the week of a full moon. That very night, Wendy wakes up at midnight, and literally TURNS INTO A CAT! With the urge to prowl the streets and alleys chasing mice and bugs. As the very full moon draws near, Wendy's wild cat instincts end up getting the better of her, even in human form. Plus, she ends up in a territorial fight with another werecat.
