Cats seemed to like him more than humans did -- & it likely didn’t help his odd behaviour & odder aura that strays seemed to flock towards him whenever he found himself sitting on the grass in the park, carving & bending wood to his will with the minimum use of his magic. Though the charm had been laying forgotten in front of him for good ten minutes by then, the cats -- already four in number -- claiming his full attention as two had managed to climb on top of him, one sitting curled on his lap & a kitten sitting upright & pressed to his face on his shoulder while he played with his sister; the fourth, a timid one sniffing carefully around his leg before a group of people scared her to cower behind his back, earning her a light scratch behind his ear from the demigod. He was too lost in his element for the moment to pay any attention to the world surrounding him, giving the various felines around him split attention.
