Mmm, spending federal holidays at work.

Okay, cats and kids, it's going to be one of those Mondays. It's been about a month since the last drabble request, and I'd like to make good on actually answering all my prompts this year. So

Van Klinken knows Hoobler well enough to know that missing breakfast is not an option. He calls his name again as he ventures into the barn. Sleeping outside may be for suckers, but if Hoobs is in trouble, it's Van Klinken who'll have to clean it up.

Luck is with them both today, though. "Over here," Hoobler whispers loudly. Van Klinken can see his boots sticking out past a bale of hay. He approaches, rifle ready just in case, and stares. Hoobler looks up, his expression bashful, from underneath the heap of barn cats curled up next to and all atop him. "I can't move," he insists. "I don't want to wake them all up at once."

Van Klinken snorts. "Self-preservation?"

"Yeah, that's right." He tries to nod at the big calico curled up by his neck. "Can you get this one first?"

The cat barely wakes up as Van Klinken lifts her, though she does purr loud as a C-47.

That's a perfect drabble! You made my day! *squishes*

Also: are you spying on me or something? Because the cat on my lap is a calico. x_x

Hoobler covered in cats is official the most adorable mental image I've had all day. You win.

Heee!

I love how Hoobler, usually a risk-taker, knows he's met his match in a pile of cats.
