Sam had been a little overly-cautious around cats ever since Gabriel's little 'prank'. So, when he saw a large tom cat perched up on the roof of the impala one morning, one thought came to mind. Castiel had wanted revenge on Gabriel and therefore turned him into a cat.

Sam couldn't help but smirk as he walked towards the cat. "Gabriel?" he asked. The cat looked at him for a few seconds before proceeding to lick at its paw.

Sam must've watched the cat for quite a long time because soon, Dean came sauntering out of the motel room. "Let's hit the road, Sammy," he said, stifling a yawn before glancing at his car. "Jeez, get that thing off baby now!" he shouted, trying to push the cat off the roof of his precious car.

"Dean! Be careful! I think that's—" he stopped, realizing how stupid he sounded.

Dean shot him a look with furrowed eyebrows. "What is it?"

"I think that cat is… Gabriel," he said, his face flushing with embarrassment.

Dean stared at Sam in silence for a few seconds before turning to look at the cat. He then squinted his eyes and studied the ginger tom cat closely before looking back at Sam. "Now you're just paranoid."

"No, I'm not. What if Castiel decided to get some payback?" he suggested, reaching his hand forward to pet the tom cat gently. After a few minutes the cat closed its eyes contentedly, snuggling against Sam's hand and purring softly.

Dean chuckled and shook his head. "Cas isn't like that, man. But, I think you've got a friend either way. Just get it off my damn car first."

Sam sighed and picked the cat up, setting it down on the ground beside him. The tom cat then began circling around his feet, nuzzling up against his leg. He smiled warmly and crouched down to stroke under the cat's neck.

"It's okay, Gabriel. I'll ask Cas to change you back. But, you sort of deserved this," Sam chuckled, continuing to pet the large, purring tom cat.

Suddenly there was the sound of wings flapping and Gabriel appeared beside him, causing Dean to jump and curse under his breath.

"Well, Sam, I thought you were more of a dog person," Gabriel said with a huge, amused grin on his face.

Sam quickly rose to his feet again and cleared his throat. "I didn't actually think that was you…I was just…" he trailed off, humiliation causing his cheeks to turn pink.

Gabriel let out a loud, hearty laugh and clapped his hands once. "Oh, you guys are far too easy to mess with!"

Dean sighed frustratedly and threw his duffel bag into the impala. "What do you want, Gabriel? We're kinda busy at the moment."

"I just came to tell you guys that Castiel is a liar and if he tells you anything about me, it's not true." He then turned to Dean and wiggled his eyebrows. "And, Dean? If you haven't noticed already with all the creepy staring competitions and the personal space issues; Castiel has a fully blown not-so-secret crush on you." He then disappeared swiftly right before their eyes.

Dean's eyes were wide for a few seconds before he noticed Sam trying to hide his eruption of laughter. Dean shot him a warning glare and got into the driver's seat of the impala.

This had been a crazy week. Part of him never wanted to see a damn cat ever again, the other part wondered just how long it would be until Sam started visiting animal shelters and bringing home stray kittens that just so happened to look like people they knew.
