The Boskone Catgirling process is repeatable because it is similar to the Professor's machine that makes Julian Friez.
That is, it's not really a process, but a device. And what a horrific one it is, too. Fortunately for 90 percent of its victims, the process usually knocks them out. Three computers and various tanks and plumbing supplies surround a tubular plexiglass "fish tank" that is large enough for two people... in the sense that a 'waved plastic skeleton counts as a person.
The victim, often bound hand and foot is placed in the tube with the skeleton. The tube begins filling with a cocktail of specific 'wavium, modulated by the limited AIs of the computers. Over the course of 15 minutes, the victim's original body is converted to modded flesh and biosystems over the skeleton, as well as excess modding goo. Due to *handwaves* the original personality arrives intact in the new nervous system. The few people who remained conscious through the process were easily broken and remolded to the Boskone whim.
As the base skeleton was a fairly typical mass-produced plastic Anatomical model, the resulting catgirls are very similar in appearance, possessing "ideal" proportions.
The original creator of the process was a discredited Supers-faction fen, trying to replicate Wolverine's "adamantium" skeleton. In typical "Supervillain" fashion, he went somewhere isolated, making himself easy prey for some of the early raids.
The main quirk for the system is that instead of ordinary supers-faction ideal models or bodybuilders, it produces catgirls. The claws and strong homeostasis possessed by the Dobbses and other "catgirled" folks are what's left of the "Wolverine" intention. Other quirks include the smell of Labbatt's Blue and back bacon in the air as the tube works, and the requirement for a [Person-specific] carbonated beverage in the new catgirl's diet.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
