Tiny Chat People

I totally understand that worry and I think our cats being in danger is definitely going to happen eventually and we're going to have to figure out what the appropriate reaction to that is when we get there.
But as the breadth of options everyone else has is so vast I don't know how we can pre-plan very much about this one.

I can only speak for myself but I'm not so much "literally never do a violence" but, it's got to be justified you know?
And so far nothing has justified the conflict that is central to the game session we are in, which is the main dilemma we have.

We probably are going to want to fortify further in some way but first we need to figure out who is likely to be trying to attack us first (is it going to be fewer people than everyone bar Wax, for instance), and then maybe try to get some advance warning of what they are actually going to do.

Also worth remembering that our cats are individual sapient beings who will have their own ideas about how to protect themselves. If they're threatened I don't know in what direction they'll jump, and probably they won't all react the same way, but we should probably prepare them in some manner too (they, do still already have guns).
