***** Chapter 1 *****
Castiel just couldn’t help himself. It was Saturday morning and he found
himself in OmegaPaws, his towns local omega pet shop. He was looking at the
omega kitten supplies again, in particular the ear and tail sets. He already
had a whole collection of supplies at home, he’d been wanting an omega kitten
for a while now, he was just waiting for the right time to finally buy one.
He finally had a good enough job to afford the high price tag, and since he’d
just turned thirty he figured an omega was the perfect birthday gift.
A bubbly young sales girl appeared at his side. “Aren’t those cute?” she said.
She was a beta, with long brown hair and an infectious smile. According to her
name tag her name was Emily. “We just got a new shipment of omega kittens, have
you seen them? They’re adorable.”
Castiel brightened. The store hadn’t had omega kittens in stock for weeks, he’d
been hoping they would get more. “No! Can I see them?”
“Yeah, of course!” The girl said, leading Castiel through the store to the
back. Along the back wall was a bank of omega sized cages, allowing interested
alphas to view the omega pets with ease. Each cage had sturdy bars and a
padlock, to protect the inventory.
There were a whole variety of male and female omega pets: bunnies, puppies, and
kittens. Each omega was naked, except for basic tail plug and ears. The omega
kittens were all down to the right, and the girl took Castiel to see them.
Castiel was immediately drawn to one of the kittens, he was a particularly
petite male omega, with light brown hair and green eyes. He wore a simple pair
of black ears and tail, and he was playfully batting at a ball, bouncing it off
the wall. He smelled perfect.
“Tell me about this one,” Castiel said, stepping up to the cage bars.
“This is Dean, he’s 15 years old,” Emily said. “He was bred and raised at
SubMission Ranch. They sell a variety of omegas, he was chosen for pet training
based on his petite size, cuddly nature, and strong sex drive. Dean is still a
virgin, but he’s very eager for a good home and an alpha who will knot him
regularly.”
Dean chose that moment to crawl to the cage door, and he looked up at Castiel
through the bars with curious eyes. He took a deep breath, scenting the alpha,
then let out a little meow. He turned sideways and rubbed his whole body up
against the bars, then turned around to present his perfect ass. His black tail
was flopped up over his back, letting Castiel get a good look at the omega’s
hole gripping tight around the plug. Dean spread his legs a little and arched
his back, shifting back and forth on his knees in invitation.
The sales girl laughed. “I think he likes you!”
“I’ll take him,” Castiel said quickly, trying to will away his growing
erection. He’d be knotting that kitten soon enough. He didn’t even care about
the price, whatever it was, he would pay it.
The girl brightened. “That’s great!” She reached up above the cage and pulled
down a little sold sign, hanging it from the bars. “I’ll help you pick out
whatever you need for him, then we’ll come back for him after he’s paid for.”
Castiel let the girl guide him through his purchases, explaining he already had
food and water bowls, a lot of toys, and a bed. She helped him pick out a
couple more beds, a crate, and a cock cage. Then she took him back to the ears
and tails where she’d originally found him.
“Now, he comes with his basic black ears and tail, but I saw you eying the
nicer sets,” she said, gesturing to the wall of options. “I’d suggest a set
with a tail plug and a tail belt. It’s nice to have a tail that leaves his hole
available.”
Castiel agreed, he wanted to be able to tug on a tail while he knotted his
kitten. “I think this set suits him,” he said, picking up a light brown tabby
set that matched the color of Dean’s hair.
“Perfect!” The sales girl then guided him to the collars and leashes. “I’m sure
you know that omega pets are required to be leashed in public,” she said. “I’d
recommend leather, it’s the most durable.”
Castiel’s eyes were immediately drawn to a dark green leather collar and leash.
“If I remember correctly, this will compliment his eyes.”
With everything he needed in hand, Castiel headed up front to pay for it all.
On a whim he added an ID tag for the collar, since they had the engraving
machine that could make it on the spot.
It read “Castiel’s Kitten.” It was perfect.
Finally the sales girl took him back to collect Dean, and Castiel’s heart was
racing as she pulled out a key and unlocked the cage. The omega immediately
came forward for pets, looking up at Castiel eagerly. Castiel grinned and
reached out to run a hand through the omega’s soft hair.
“Hi kitten,” he said, smiling. “I’m your new owner.”
Dean little out a little meow and started to purr, leaning into Castiel’s hand.
Castiel wanted to get him home. Now.
“Let’s get him collared and then you’re ready to go,” the girl said, removing
the tags from the collar and unbuckling it before handing it to Castiel. “He’ll
walk on command, it’s much more convenient in public, but he will stay on hands
and knees unless he’s told otherwise.”
Castiel buckled the collar around the omega’s neck, pleased by the snap of the
lock securing it in place. He loved how the ID tag looked hanging down from the
collar.
“Okay, walk,” Castiel ordered, tugging gently on Dean’s leash. The omega kitten
came out of his cage eagerly, getting up on two feet as ordered. “Good kitten,”
Castiel praised.
“All his paperwork is in the bag,” the girl said, still holding most of
Castiel’s purchases. “It has a list of all the commands he already knows. And
he comes with free training classes here, so I definitely recommend you bring
him back to take advantage of that.”
Castiel nodded, he would do that, but right now he just wanted to get his
kitten home.
===============================================================================
Dean was good for the car ride, sitting like a proper omega kitten in the front
seat, but still buckled in. When they got home Castiel decided to leave most of
the supplies in the car to worry about later, picking up just Dean’s leash and
the bag with the ears and tail.
“Come on, kitten,” Castiel said, leading Dean inside.
As soon as they crossed the threshold, Dean dropped down to his hands and knees
without being told, looking up at Castiel.
“Good kitten,” Castiel said, realizing that must be part of his training. He
reached down and unclipped the leash, hanging it up by the front door. “Come
on,” he said, looking to see if Dean would follow him as he moved toward the
bedroom.
Dean did, scampering after him and meowing.
Castiel grinned, leading his knew kitten up the stairs and into the bedroom.
“Up,” he said, patting the bed.
Dean climbed up on the bed and started to stomp around in a circle, stopping to
present himself to Castiel again.
Castiel didn’t need to be asked twice, but he wanted to do one thing first. He
pulled out the new tabby ears and the tail belt. He reached for Dean’s little
black ears and swapped them for the tabby ears. Dean just watched with
curiosity. Then he reached for the base of the tail plug and slowly tugged it
free, enjoying the way Dean let out a little needy yowl in response.
Castiel stopped to admire the way Dean’s hole gaped open in invitation for a
moment before it started to wink closed. Slick was already running down the
inside of the omega’s legs, it had clearly been held back by the plug.
Castiel pulled the tags off the tail belt. It had a brown leather belt that
went around the omega’s waist, then thinner leather straps that went between
his legs to hold it in place. Once Castiel had it on, the tabby tail was
perfectly flush with Dean’s tailbone. It could either hang down to cover the
omega’s hole or be flipped up over his back, which was how Castiel left it.
Castiel stepped back from the bed and started to undress, watching how Dean
continued to arch his back and spread his legs, begging to be filled up.
He was going to do just that.
As soon as Castiel was naked he climbed up on the bed behind Dean and grabbed
his little omega kitty by the tail, yanking him backward. He was pleased to
feel the tail was strong, clearly designed with this in mind.
With no more patience left, Castiel lined his hard cock up to Dean’s entrance
and slowly pushed inside, and he groaned as he was swallowed up. The omega was
so small and it seemed impossible that his virgin hole could take the alpha’s
cock, but despite the dizzying tightness he still sunk into the slick heat.
Dean let out a yowling cry as Castiel’s huge cock stretched him open and pushed
in deep, but he still dropped his face to the bed to push his ass up higher,
submitting to his alpha. His pained cries were quickly mixed with pleasured
moans that somehow still sounded like a kitten, and he squirmed under the alpha
as his body adapted to being properly filled for the first time.
Castiel was trying to go easy at first, knowing this was the first time this
omega had more than a plug inside him, but he couldn’t hold out much longer. He
started to move, steadily at first, then faster. His hips started to slap
against the omega’s ass with each sharp thrust, driving in deeper with each
pass.
Under him Dean’s little body shook with the force of each thrust, and it wasn’t
long before he was coming hard across the bed with another yowl.
Castiel didn’t last very much longer, his knot was growing fast and filling the
omega more with each stroke. Finally with a groan and a final slamming thrust
his knot drove fully into the omega and he came hard, knot tying in place and
seed spilling deep inside his kitten.
Dean panted and squirmed as he was knotted for the first time, a look of shock
and revelation painted across his face. He let out a breathless little meow and
pushed back against the knot, quivering as his hole stretched to accept the
intrusion.
Castiel collapsed overtop of Dean, his larger body covering the omega’s smaller
one, and he bit down hard on the back of Dean’s neck, making the omega cry out
at the mix of pleasure and pain. His kitten was now fully and completely his.
With a satisfied groan Castiel laid over on his side, pulling Dean with him.
His kitten started to purr and cuddle back into him, his channel clenching down
around the knot filling him. The scent of happy omega was rolling off him in
waves and Dean let out a little mewling moan every time Castiel’s knot shifted
inside him.
Castiel eyed the mess on the bed. “I’m glad she sold me that cock cage, we
can’t have this every day,” he said. He knew it was recommended to limit kitten
orgasms anyway, it was the best way to keep them obedient and eager.
He reached over to the bag and was pleased to see the silver cock cage was one
of the only other items in the bag. Sitting up half way he leaned over Dean and
carefully fitted it in place. He then laid back down to enjoy the rest of his
knot with his new kitten in his arms.
===============================================================================
Castiel spent the rest of the day playing with his new kitten. Every time his
knot would go down Dean would beg for another, so that by dinner time he’d lost
track of how many times he’d knotted him. Finally content to take a break,
Castiel swapped Dean’s tail belt for the tail plug, safely keeping his new
omega pet full of his seed.
“Come on, kitten, time for dinner,” Castiel said, climbing out of bed and
pulling on a pair of pajama pants.
Dean let out a tired little meow, but climbed out of bed and followed him out
of the bedroom on his hands and knees.
Castiel grinned and headed for the kitchen. He already had a bed and two bowls
on the floor in the corner, and he picked up one of the bowls to fill it with
water before setting it back down.
Without hesitation, Dean crawled over and dropped his head to drink from the
bowl, drinking quite greedily until his thirst was quenched. Then he turned and
crawled over to the bed, flopping down on it. Dean rolled over on his back and
sprawled just like a happy cat, with his hands tucked up under his chin, and
his knees up and spread open. In this pose you could see everything from his
ears and ID tag to his cock cage and tail plug between his legs. His eyes were
closed and he looked very content, especially with the telltale roundness of
his belly and the little bit of come leaking out around the plug. He realized
his kitten was actually asleep already, all worn out from so much play.
On a whim Castiel pulled out his phone and took a picture. Dean looked so
adorable and debauched, and it reminded him of all the omega pet accounts he
followed on Instagram. It was were he’d gotten the idea of an omega kitten in
the first place, admiring all the cute and sexy pictures of other alphas’ pets.
Castiel himself never even posted anything to Instagram, but maybe now that he
had something worth posting…
Logging into his account on his phone, Castiel went into his settings and
changed the name of his account to ‘CastielsKitten’ and changed the bio to a
dedicated omega kitten account. He then posted the picture he’d just taken,
pausing to write a caption.
     Meet my new kitten, Instagram! Follow for more #contentkitten
     #pluggedfullofmilk #collaredkitten #omegakitten #okitsofinstagram
He hit ‘share’ and set the phone down on the kitchen counter while he got
started on dinner. The whole time he was cooking his phone continually buzzed
with notifications as people liked his picture and followed his account.
Castiel was going to have so much fun with his little kitten.
***** Chapter 2 *****
Chapter Notes
     WARNING!! Chapter two includes castration as a kink. Chapter one
     doesn’t even mention it, and it stands alone, so you can read just
     the first chapter if that’s not your jam. Click_here_if_you’re_new_to
     castration_kink_and_want_to_read_my_write_up_explaining_it.
Castiel was spoiling his kitten rotten. He couldn’t help it, he just loved the
look on Dean’s face when he got a new toy or treat. He’d also bought him some
things that were more for the alpha’s benefit, including faux fur gloves that
matched his ears and tail, as well as knee pads. This allowed Dean to stay on
his hands and knees outside, which Castiel much preferred.
Today he was taking Dean for his very first training class at OmegaPaws, and he
was very excited. But before they went inside the shop he couldn’t help but
pose Dean in front of the store, he just looked so cute. He always sat like a
perfect kitten, with his hands on the ground between his folded knees, spread
wide to show off his caged cock and the tail plug hanging between his legs.
Castiel took a bunch of pictures before choosing the best one where Dean looked
the perfect mix of adorable and fuckable.
     Kitten’s first training class! If he’s good I’ll buy him a treat!
     #andknothimup #cantgetenoughofmykitten #leashedkitten #cagedkitten
     #omegakitten #okitsofinstagram
After posting the picture he finally headed into the store, with Dean crawling
along beside him, looking curiously around him. He’d been afraid Dean would
think he was being returned, but the omega seemed to be comfortable and content
at Castiel’s side.
They had a little time to kill, so Castiel browsed the isles for a little bit,
picking out a few more toys for his kitten. A vibrating cock ring and a pack of
toy mice, those would keep him busy for hours.
When it was finally time for class, Castiel led Dean over to the fenced in area
where the trainings were conducted. They were greeted by a tall alpha female
with a short bob of blond hair.
“Hello, welcome!” she said, taking the training voucher Castiel handed her. “My
name is Autumn, so nice to have you, and so good to see little Dean again!” She
leaned down a little to get a better look at Dean. “I love what you’ve done
with him, he’s looking fantastic!”
“Thank you!” Castiel grinned, leading Dean over to join the small group of
alphas and kittens. Including the two of them, there were five pairs in the
class, and of the five kittens there were three males and two females.
“Okay everyone, gather round,” Autumn said, stepping into the middle of the
ring. “What we’re going to start with today is the first step towards total
orgasm control. Our eventual goal is that your kittens reach a point where they
cannot come unless directly ordered, even if they’re being naughty and playing
with themselves without permission.” She looked around the small group. “I’m
happy to see the boy kittens are caged, but for this exercise I would like you
to please free them.”
Castiel did as he was instructed and unlocked the cage, freeing it from Dean’s
cock. It quickly sprung to half hardness in response to the freedom.
The teacher nodded her approval when everyone was ready. “Now, we’re going to
do a basic edging exercise. Using their tail plugs and your fingers, bring them
close to orgasm, but if you think they’re getting too close, give the leash a
gentle yank and order ‘no come.’ ”
Each of the alphas took a seat in one of the available chairs, and with a
little tail tug they each had their kittens’ backend facing them.
Dean arched his back and spread his legs, just like he always did. Castiel
couldn’t help it, he flipped Dean’s tail up over his back and took a picture,
saving it to post to Instagram later. Holding the leash in one hand, he reached
out and gripped the base of the plug, starting to gently wiggle it around,
aiming to press against Dean’s prostate.
Dean squirmed and let out a meow, pushing his ass up higher. Castiel grinned
and brought his thumb around to tease at his kitten’s rim where it was clamped
down around the plug. Dean’s little meows got needier and he arched his back
more, grinding his hips back against the plug.
Castiel suddenly realized Dean’s little cock was fully hard, and he gently
tugged on the leash, ordering, “No come!” But it was too late, the omega’s come
was already painting the floor.
“Oh dear,” Autumn said, eyebrows raised. “You seem to have a very sensitive
little kitten to have come so quickly.” She pondered Dean for a moment. “Have
you considered having him fixed? It would make it harder for him to come and
increase your control, but he’d still be just as needy. And it has the added
benefit of stopping his growth, he’s so cute and little, it would be nice to
keep him that way.”
Castiel nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been seriously considering it,” he said. “We
actually have an appointment at your omega vet right after this, I’ll talk to
them about it.”
Autumn smiled. “Very good, I think you’d be very happy with the results.”
===============================================================================
The rest of class went a little easier, Dean only came without permission one
other time, but Castiel was able to stop most of them. When they were done he
replaced the cock cage and led Dean across the store to the attached clinic.
It was quite convenient that OmegaPaws had their own vet clinic, and Castiel
saw no reason to look for a different vet. When he walked Dean into the front
lobby he was pleased with how clean and welcoming it was.
Castiel walked up to the front counter, leash in hand. “Castiel, I have an
appointment for Dean?”
The young man behind the counter smiled up at them. He was a blond, blue eyed
beta, and seemed genuinely friendly. “Welcome! We’ve got a room ready, let’s go
ahead and get you and your kitten back there.”
He led Castiel and Dean around the desk and into the second exam room. “The
doctor will be in shortly,” he said, closing the door behind him.
Castiel sat down on one of the chair, and Dean sat down at his feet. He cuddled
up close to the alpha, suddenly a little nervous. “It’s okay, kitten,” Castiel
said with a smile, petting Dean’s hair. “Don’t worry.”
At that moment a rather burly beta man stepped through the door. “Hello,
Castiel is it? I’m Dr. Lafitte,” he said, putting out a hand for Castiel to
shake. “But please, call me Benny.”
Castiel smiled, shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you, Benny.”
“And this must be Dean,” Benny said, smiling down at the omega. “Let’s get him
up on the exam table so I can take a look.”
Castiel easily lifted his little omega into his arms and set him down on the
stainless steel table. He was glad his kitten had his gloves and knee pads to
protect him from the cold surface.
“What a good looking kitten,” Benny said, running his hand down Dean’s back and
patting him on the butt.
“Thank you,” Castiel said with a big smile. “I just bought him last week, I
couldn’t be happier.”
Dean squirmed a little and looked to Castiel for reassurance, and the alpha
moved to stand by his head so he could pet him, holding the leash tight incase
he tried to get off the table. He knew the omega wouldn’t like what came next.
“It’s okay, little kitten,” Benny said, his voice calm and level. His hands
moved over Dean’s body, checking him thoroughly. He looked at his eyes and
ears, and inside his mouth. He had Castiel removed the cock cage so he could
check for chafing. “Everything looks good so far, I need to remove his tail
now.”
Dean squirmed as Benny gently tugged the tail plug out of his channel, and
slick readily started to run down the inside of his legs, built up from all the
teasing at class.
Benny just chuckled. “That’s always nice to see.” He then picked up a speculum
and gently eased it into Dean’s channel, spreading open his hole. He pulled on
a pair of gloves and pushed two fingers inside.
Dean let out a yowl that was clearly a mix of pleasure and discomfort, and
Castiel did his best to sooth him. “It’s okay, kitten, you’re okay,” he said,
scratching his fingers in Dean’s hair.
Dean let out little moans as the beta’s fingers probed at his insides, and his
little cock jumped when the veterinarian found his prostate and gently massaged
it, checking for irregularities.
“No come,” Castiel ordered sharply, tugging on the leash.
Dean continued to squirm and let out a plaintive meow, but he managed to hold
his orgasm at bay.  
Benny finally finished his exam and pulled the speculum free, quickly replacing
it with a thermometer plug, and Dean’s entrance quickly contracted around the
base.
“Everything looks good,” he said, smiling as he pulled off the gloves and
tossed them in the trash. The thermometer beeped and displayed the temperature
on the base of the plug, and Benny paused to record it. “If you ever decide to
breed him I think you will be very pleased, he’s built to carry a whole
litter.”
Castiel smiled, happy to hear that. “I’d like to do that some day,” he said,
imagining how cute Dean would look with a swollen belly. “But for now I just
wanted to talk to you about getting him fixed.”
Benny nodded, putting down the chart. “It’s a good idea, and the sooner the
better. I recommend all male kittens be neutered, it reduces behavior problems
and keeps them petite.”
Castiel frowned a little. “My only concern is I don’t want him to lose his sex
drive, I love how needy and desperate he is.”
Benny shook his head. “Oh don’t worry, neutered kittens are just as desperate
to be knotted, maybe even more so. They still have the sex drive but it’s
harder for them to come without an order, so you can keep them constantly
begging if that’s what you want.”
Castiel grinned. “That sounds awesome. Okay, when can we have it done?”
“Today if you’d like,” Benny said. “It’s a very quick procedure, I can have him
done in thirty minutes.”
Castiel nodded. “Let’s do it.”
===============================================================================
Dean’s procedure went smoothly, and after two weeks he was healed up and his
stitches were out. It was almost like it had never happened, Castiel wasn’t
sure his kitten even knew the difference.
But Castiel certainly did. He fucking loved it.
Dean couldn’t wear the cock cage anymore, but he didn’t need it. His little
cock was already starting to shrink and he didn’t get hard nearly as easy now
that he was fixed. And good lord did he look sexy from behind.
“Stay,” Castiel said, keeping Dean in place where he was, on hands and knees on
the bed. He picked up his phone and moved around behind the omega, flipping his
tail plug up to sit on the top of his ass and hang over the left side. A little
seed from his last knot was escaping around the plug, tracing a line down the
fading scar to the omega’s cock where it hung between his legs. Castiel took
his time getting the perfect picture, then quickly posted it to Instagram.
     So happy I got my kitten fixed! So sexy! #dontworry
     #hesstillaneedyslut #neuteredomega #needykitten #omegakitten
     #okitsofinstagram
With a grin Castiel dropped the phone on the bedside table and flopped on the
bed. He was still naked from his last round with Dean and saw no reason for
clothes any time soon. “Okay, good kitten,” he said, releasing Dean from his
stay position. “All done.”
Dean quickly scampered over to flop down next to Castiel, going right for the
alpha’s cock, lapping at it with little kitten licks.
Castiel groaned through a grin. “I just knotted you,” he laughed, but didn’t
object. He let Dean tease at his cock, eagerly lapping at the little beads of
pre-come that started to leak from the tip. “Kitten loves his milk.”
Castiel wasn’t complaining, this was exactly what he wanted, exactly why Dean
was only allowed one orgasm per week. It was one hell of an orgasm, and in
between his little kitten was constantly begging, just the way Castiel like
him.
Dean just purred and continued to suckle from his alpha, looking up at Castiel
with the pleased eyes of the proverbial cat that got the cream as he slowly
brought the alpha back to full hardness.
Castiel groaned when Dean finally took his whole cock in his mouth and sucked
the full length down his throat. The omega seemed to enjoy having his mouth
knotted just as much as his ass. Castiel laced his fingers through Dean’s hair,
gripping tight and starting to thrust, fucking gently down the back of his
kittens throat, then faster.
Dean went still with submission, continuing to purr as his alpha fucked his
face.
When Castiel finally came with his knot locked behind Dean’s teeth he collapsed
back on the bed, his seed steadily spilling down his kitten’s throat.
Dean just cuddled up between the alpha’s legs and purred around the knot
filling his mouth, content for the moment.
Castiel let out a long sigh and released the grip on Dean’s hair and started to
gently pet him. “Good kitten,” he muttered, already half asleep in a haze of
pleasure. “Good kitten.”
