SCP-529 vs. SCP-953
What's the Difference?
SCP-529, also known as Josie the Half-Cat, is a mysterious creature that appears to be a normal domestic cat from one side, but is completely flat on the other. It is capable of moving through narrow spaces and manipulating objects with its flat side. On the other hand, SCP-953, also known as the Polymorphic Humanoid, is a shapeshifting entity that can take on the form of various animals, including a fox, a wolf, and a human. While both SCPs possess unique abilities and anomalous traits, SCP-953's ability to change its form at will sets it apart from the more physically limited SCP-529.
