Saturday lunchtime multi-pup post (with bonus cats)

[ostro_goth]

It's Saturday around lunchtime, cats are all over the place and people are doing, mostly, what you'd expect them to do:

• Teja's in the forge, working on an axe-blade, his hammer ringing while he sings a war-like ballad to which Egil, sitting by the door in his human form, is listening to with fascination while he throws a catnip ball for the little grey cat Count, who keeps bringing it back again and again, rather like a dog playing fetch. Which he would totally deny doing, of course. He's a cat.
• Dr. Hannibal Lecter is sitting outside the kitchen door, de-boning chicken legs. Occasionally, he may drop a shred of sinew for the white-and-tabby cat who's skulking around among the herbs.
• Father Pearse Harman is sweeping out the church and putting up palm branches for the Palm Sunday service tomorrow. He's quietly wondering to himself how he ended up with such a calmly parochial vacation reality while trying to keep the tabby cat that's been following him from pouncing on and shredding the greenery.
• Galen Erso is in the garden, putting up an array of tubes, solar panels, crystals and wires around some newly planted vegetable and herb patches. The little black cat in the hood of his jumper hangs on as if by some special cat magic, sleeping even while he moves around. He's careful, of course.
• Ragnar Lothbrok is out by the goat pen, meeting this year's newest arrivals, still small and sweet. It's an impressive herd they have now, enough to start some serious goat cheese business later in the season. There's a big red cat sitting on the fence, probably hoping for spilled milk at some stage.
• Inside the bar, Lady Margolotta is knitting and drinking cocoa in a dark corner, sheltered from all sunlight. The young black cat with the white patch on her chest would never dare grab and chase the ball of wool moving around the basket by Margolotta's feet -- would she?
