so we went to Estrella...

[kellan_the_tabby]

…with two cats. Apparently I can’t help it.

Have a couple pre-Estrella pics first, though, because Estrella prep is a BIG part of Estrella.

We’d used the trailer when we moved, & of course then we hadn’t entirely unpacked it right away, so we had to schlep the last of the stuff out before we could start packing for Estrella. This is most of the way through the schlepping.

Also Dharma decided a couple days out that the cabinets her essential oils go in had to be put up IMMEDIATELY.

I mean who takes pictures of setup? But just as soon as we had the curtains put up, Hades had to explore.

He settled in just fine — once we got him back down, anyways — & he wound up having a good war. He’s learned to watch Loiosh when he’s not sure about something; if Loiosh isn’t worried, Hades feels he clearly doesn’t have anything to worry about, either. Being a cat, he spent a LOT of time napping.

Course so did Loiosh. They’re cats.

Dharma slept in the booth but the boys & I stayed in the van. I’m SO glad I got that cat stroller; getting them both back & forth without it would be a NIGHTMARE.

One of my favourite _other_ leashcats came by — Purcy is SO chill, he makes Loiosh look high-strung & nervous. I am AMAZED he put up with that.

I actually got a picture of the booth! Well, Dharma did.

The small child in the above pic really belonged with _this_ booth, but we were pretty okay with her hanging out sometimes. Anyway she really likes the cats.

…it’s pretty possible that I have gotten some REALLY AWESOME ideas from this trailer over the years.

This is a LOT of pics so I’m gonna do the drive home in another post.

IT HAS CATS IN IT

sometimes i think about just leaving all the other crap at home & just putting up a sign that says 'pet the cats, 50 pence a minute'

There is a cat café in Aberdeen.

I can pay money to be haughtily ignored by up to 9 cats for an hour and a half. I actually do this, because, of course I do.

They sell hot chocolate too (the café thumb humans, not the cats), and cake and stuff.

They have a television screen that shows films of birbs and smol rodents.

...I have considered the logistics of running a cat cafe at an SCA event.

It's actually probably pretty doable?

Hades declaiming himself as King Of The Mountain is freakin' adorable.

[kellan_the_tabby]

He's that adorable basically most of the time. I don't know how I get anything _done_ around here.

We did! Especially the cats, & they're the important part.

That's a really cute booth babe you got in the last pic there!

[kellan_the_tabby]

Isn't she just?
