Needful Things, Tuesday

[knightinshinarmor]

The cats had decided that tagging along with Remy to work was The Thing To Do apparently. And Remy wasn't doing a whole lot to dissuade them. They'd done alright last week, after all. They'd probably be fine this time, too.

"Lucifer!" Remy barked. "What are you eating?!"

Lucifer (the cat) hunched over, further hiding what he was chewing on from sight. Oliver, perched on Remy's shoulder, whined. Was he telling on his brother? Jealous of his brother? Who knew?

". . . Merde," Remy said, looking around. "Figaro! Figaro, where'd you get off to? Figaro!"

He was probably going to have to try and set this boundary a little more firmly in the future.

"Oh, Bruce eats everything," Harley told him, as she fished a treat (or several) out of the bag. "Including cat treats!"

She crouched down to her meowing audience, treats safely in her fist for now.

"Now, which of you little furry fuckers is gonna be a good little furry fucker, huh?"

Oliver -- the gray one -- stood on his hind legs, front paws stretched out to try to catch Harley's wrist. Lucifer -- orange -- circled her feet, meowing urgently. And Figaro -- white -- eyed the desk to see if maybe he could jump up and get to the treats himself.

"Yeah," Remy said. "They're not real known for their politeness."

Harley glanced up at him like he was a child that knew nothing. "Good thing that it ain't got nothin' at all to do with politeness, then!" she said.

And then picked Oliver at random to bestow some treats upon.

(First. She was still holding on tight to the bag with her other hand.)

She knew that just meant that all three cats would start trying to grab her arms, right? Because that was 100% what was now happening, Lucifer still meowing up a storm.

"Careful with those claws, petites," Remy told the cats, wincing slightly. "This isn't attack kitty time."

Attack kitty time was he teased them by petting their bellies and they tried to disembowel his arms. It was adorable.

There was a giant hyena upstairs. Harley wasn't too bothered by kitty claws anymore.

She was also kind of ignoring Remy (sorry, Remy) in favor of snickering and holding the treat bag aloft, above her own head, as she got more treats out of it and went to distribute them among all the meowing. "See, you're all so good!"
