    Yeah – I am not a good person.

    My first thought was “use a sniper rifle to shoot the cat. Then take the key off its cold, dead corpse”

      Which maybe says a lot about you because the point of the story is something that a lot of people have known for centuries: Men who know how to treat a cat and earn its affection, are more likely to have success with women, if they apply the same delicate empathetic approach.

      So, how are you doing in the woman-romance area?

        (grin) If the story doesn’t mention it then I assume it’s not a part of the deal.

          At best you’re going to be stuck with someone that’s pissed you killed her cat. Even if she sticks to the deal she’s going to make your life miserable. And if she is the cat …

          If you can’t charm her: tranquilizer dart gun. Then a romantic getaway at your hidden base that’s also an active volcano. Apologize for your crude methods, but justify them. Point out how horrible those other men were, in fact how horrible humanity is as a whole. “We’re not so different, you and I”, etc.

          Wine and dine her while you explain your plan for world domination. You want the hot shapeshifter on your side – don’t screw it up.

            I think enough people are dumb enough to not think that one through and so the challenge as posed is a bad idea on her part

      Yeah, what a way to get a woman to want to marry you, kill her pet (/her).
