Item #: SCP-8247

Object Class: Euclid

An instance of SCP-8247 in an active state.

An instance of SCP-8247 in an inactive state.

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-8247 are each to be kept in large, separate animal enclosures at Site-908. SCP-8247 instances are to be provided with appropriate food, water, and enrichment daily. As SCP-8247 instances can transform at will, Foundation Personnel are to approach instances of SCP-8247 with extreme caution. Access to the enclosures outside of providing SCP-8247 instances with their daily needs is not permitted.

Reports of wild animals and/or house pets that show behaviors or abilities that align with documented information about SCP-8247 instances are to be monitored by the SCP-8247 research team in cases of possible containment breaches.

All witnesses of SCP-8247 are to be administered amnestics and released.

Diamond Summers may be allowed to visit SCP-8247-A27 for three hours twice a day during its meal times. Summers is permitted to feed SCP-8247-A by hand.

Description: SCP-8247 refers to an anomalous subspecies of felines. SCP-8247 instances possess the ability to transform into a Bengal Tiger at will. SCP-8247 instances have often been observed to display violent tendencies, often attacking and consuming other animals and humans. Despite their primal behaviors, instances demonstrate behaviors of a typical house cat regardless of which form they are currently in. SCP-8247 instances do not require raw meat and are capable of surviving on processed cat food, although larger portions are required and instances still exhibit a preference for fresh meat. Despite anatomy differences, SCP-8247 maintain behavioral traits influenced by the anatomy of big cats, such as the inability to purr except when exhaling. There are currently 247 instances of SCP-8247 in containment.

Addendum-1-Findings: The following are relevant media discovered of a notable SCP-8247 instance (dubbed SCP-8247-A27) found by the Foundation in deduced chronological order. This includes social media posts on the platform Instagram and journal logs by its owner, Diamond Summers. This is the only SCP-8247 instance known to be a house pet.

So my therapist (before money became an issue) suggested this journaling thing, so hello journal lol. Anyways, I can’t fucking BELIEVE I’m getting evicted from my apartment. And my only option is to move in with my aunt and uncle

They fucking hate me. They’ve always thought internet influencer wasn’t a ‘real job’. But they offered to let me live with them, probably just so they can boss me around tbh

They've always been so bossy, even when I was a fucking kid. They always yelled at me and called me lazy and shit, and still do. Like they'd even insult my parents for letting me turn out the way I did. Anyway at least I’ve got Meagan, she’s always been so sweet

Ever since we got here, Meagan has been acting very strange. She’s been hissing and scratching my aunt and uncle and once she even bit my aunt. They’re threatening to call animal control if I don’t have her checked out I don’t know what I’m going to do

Poor Meagan doesn’t even seem to notice she’s in danger, she’s just been cuddling up with me at night and licking my face

I don’t deserve her

May 14th

Thank fuck I have a job interview in 2 weeks just about. The closer I am to getting a job, the closer I am to getting out of here. Being an influencer is not paying as well as I thought it would. I’m just not popular enough and sponsors are so hard to come by these days. Maybe they were right. Maybe being an influencer isn’t a real job, I shouldn’t have quit my job

meaganthekittycat Hey guys! I've noticed something kind funny about Meagan. She only purrs when she exhales! Do any of your cats do this? Like she doesn't purr normally. I wonder if it's the breed she is, which I actually don't know lol.

meaganthekittycat Hey guys! I have a few questions I was hoping you could answer. So Meagan has always had a bit of a large appetite LOL. I was wondering- firstly, do any of you have cats with large appetites? And how do you afford all that food? Cause she sure is running me dry! :P

It was a mistake asking Rachel and Todd for help with cat food

they just fucking screamed at me and said "IF YOU CANT AFFORD IT GET RID OF THE DAMN CAT"

I wish Meagan didn't eat so much

I love her but she has the biggest appetite of any cat I've ever seen in my entire fucking life

May 20th

im shaking so badly rn

my whole life has just been turn upside down a lot just happened and why im even still writing in this thing I dont know

they tried to throw Meagan out of the house when I was asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night to get water and I heard meowing by the front door, so I opened it and I FUCKING FOUND HER OUTSIDE I KNOW SHE WOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN OUT ON HER OWN SHE HATES GOING OUTDOORS

So I go and wake the fuckers up and confront them and they just scoffed and said ‘it’s not a big deal’

so I tell them 'YES IT IS THATS MY CAT SHES MY BABY'

and they're like 'its always about the damn cat'

and we argued for awhile about meagan and how I only care about the cat and how they hate me and that im worthless and I need to do something worthwhile and then eventually

Todd jumps out of bed and grabs me by the collar and punches me screaming at me to shut up

and then

theres a fucking tiger in the room

blood

and guts and gore

they're gone

then it just walked up to me afterwards, turned into MEAGAN, and rubbed against me like nothing happened

what am I supposed to do

meagan is a tiger

my aunt and uncle are fucking dead

its a gory mess in here

im fucking terrified

May 20th

I have to get out of here the police are going to come and find me and they'll blame me for this

should I take meagan with me?

what if she just eats me

but I can't just leave her im all shes ever known

Summers had left behind all personal belongings, including all electronics. Summers was later discovered on June 17th in Saint Joseph, Michigan, approximately two hours away from her hometown of Joliet, Illinois. Summers' was discovered when local reports of a tiger mauling local residents were released. Upon Summers' apprehension, physical notes were found on her person.

Addendum-3-Interview: Diamond Summers was taken into by the Foundation on June 20th, 2021. Summers' was later interviewed about SCP-8247-A27. This interview took place before SCP-8247’s file was created.

Open Interview

- Close

Interviewed: Diamond Summers

Interviewer: Researcher Cara Sandals

Foreword: Researcher Cara Sandals of the Zoology department at Site-908 was tasked with interviewing Diamond Summers, the owner of SCP-8247-A27.

<Begin Log>

Sandals: Hello, Diamond. I appreciate you coming to talk with me about Meagan.

Summers: Uh… hello? You said you wanted to like, study her. You’re not going to poke and prod her with needles or anything are you?

Researcher Sandals laughs.

Sandals: Oh, no. It’s closer to observing her. But no poking or prodding involved.

Summers: Good. Also, just for your information, the people she hurt were in self-defense! She doesn’t just attack people for no reason she’s not dangerous just because she’s a tiger!

Sandals: Diamond, I understand your defensiveness, but I’m going to ask you to calm down. I didn’t accuse her of being dangerous. You seem to know a lot about her.

Summers: Of course I know a lot about her, she’s my cat! I’ve had her since she was a kitten. And are you sure you don’t think she’s dangerous? I don't believe that you don't!

Sandals: While others like Meagan have shown violent tendencies, Meagan herself has not. I’ve worked with animals a long time. I can tell when one is bonded to a human the way Meagan is bonded to you. I do not think she’s dangerous. I think she’s protective.

Summers: I still don't believe you! I still don't believe you won't take her away from me! Wait- others like her? There are others like Meagan?

Sandals: Yes. We currently have other instances in containment. As I said, you seem quite knowledgeable about the species. What else have you observed about Meagan?

Summers: Observed? Like what? Like what she likes to do? Why do you want to know that? So you can use it against her?

Sandals: Like behaviors, natural instincts, likes, dislikes. Stuff like that. And no, not to use it against her. To help her. Please just answer the question.

Summers: Ugh, fine. Um… she eats.

Summers pauses, then laughs.

Summers: A lot. Like she’s got this huge appetite! But that makes sense with the tiger thing now.

Sandals: Bengal tigers can eat as much as sixty to seventy-five pounds of food in one night. The instances we currently contain have all been observed to eat a lot of animals and people. But it seems Meagan was able to survive off of cat food.

Visible discomfort is seen on Summers’ face.

Summers: Egh, I could never imagine Meagan doing such a thing. She’s a sweetheart, she really is. Yeah, but she eats a lot of it like I said. Um, she also doesn’t purr right. Like she only purrs when she exhales.

Sandals: That’s another natural behavior of a tiger. I’m surprised that didn’t set you off to there something being off sooner.

Summers: Me too, to be honest. Recently I made a post asking my Instagram followers about it, but I never looked at the comments. Still, this all confuses me. What's your goal here?

Sandals: I get that. We’re not all thinking about things like that too hard. Our goal is to help Meagan as I already said. Anything else you've observed?

Summers: Yeah. I’ve found Meagan really likes to play with toys. Have you tried toys with the other instances? Meagan really loves those wands that have the feathers and worms you know?

Sandals: We have not. Currently, we just feed them and give them places to climb and such.

Summers: The fact that you call them 'instances' tells me a lot. Even though they’re tigers, maybe they’d be happier if you played with them! They’re cats too! Maybe you just haven’t found some of their playful sides. Cats often get what seems to be violent when they really just want to play.

Sandals: That’s true. That’s a very common house cat behavior.

Sandals sets down her clipboard.

Sandals: Diamond. You’re very knowledgeable about Meagan. Which leads us to believe that you may be of some help to us here. Meagan has also already shown to not like to be distanced from you for too long. It’s been a week and she’s already injured three staff members and attempted to injure two more. Before this interview, I was discussing something with my colleagues, and you've only further proven yourself here. We would like to offer you an opportunity.

Summers gasps.

Summers: What kind of opportunity?

Sandals: The kind where we allow you to continue to see Meagan. As we see you’re currently homeless, we will house you and provide you with basic needs. In exchange, you will help us study and take care of Meagan, and possibly other instances of SCP-8247 if it is deemed safe.

Summers: I… I get to keep Meagan? So you were serious about helping her? Now I feel kind of bad for doubting you.

Sandals: You can’t live with her anymore. But you will be allowed to visit her. How often is yet to be determined. What do you say?

Summers: I… of course. I’m not really in the position to turn you down. I’d love to help you. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Sandals: No problem, Diamond. Now, Meagan is probably waiting to see you.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: As of June 25th, 2021, Diamond Summers has been granted Level 0 clearance with some exceptions. Allowing Diamond Summers access to interact with other instances of SCP-8247 is currently pending.
