[SO. Sometime after they all receive the invitation, North will be wandering the teashop — and promptly stopping at the entrance. She's going to take in the horde of cats before her, face blank, before she just... shakes her head.]
Seriously...?
[Hi, Julius. Here's the resident cat anti, apparently.]
[ Julius is seated very primly at one of the tables with a cup of coffee between his hands and kind of just. Raises an eyebrow when she asks that. ]
Is there a problem?
[ The image may or may not be ruined by the assortment of cats lounging around on his lap, near his feet, on the rest of the table, the nearby chairs, etc etc. ]
If it's a matter of hygiene, I'd say that it might've been more prudent to mention several weeks ago, given the general state of where we're living. And if it's about keeping a pet... well, they were here when I got here.
Unfortunately, these cats are here to stay, it looks like. [ but he does tilt his head a little, ignoring the cat that's clambering up onto his shoulder, and: ] You think this is the fault of whoever it is who provides us- whatever, each week, correct?
[ ... ]
At least cats are relatively independent. [ so he's been told, anyway. ] So even if one of us dies on them, at least they won't be left without a way to fend for themselves.
You really think some of us would go out of our way to kill the cats specifically? Admittedly, we don't have a good track record, but the last two times at least the victims were those who were considered one of us.
[ which makes it... something. not better or worse in any meaningful measure, just 'something.' ]
... There's always killing them as some sort of indirect revenge, but I'd like to hope no one here is quite that petty.

[She'd at least hope that person has better taste?? Gosh.]
Kazuaki and Swift Wind were murdered by one of us. I'm just as concerned that some asshole will try to kill the cats, too.

[ of course, that leaves cruelty with a point, but- ]
The chickens have been fine thus far. Is there something about the cats or more recent happenings that has you this concerned?
