Dinner has not arrived.

NPC CAT

The exclamation mark stays until the bowl is handled.

Dinner Forecast

Every evening, NPC CAT reports to the tiled kitchen before the clouds do. The bowl is inspected, found empty, and moved into the exact center of attention. One yellow exclamation mark clocks in overhead. It does not blink, negotiate, or accept estimates. Add food and the weather clears. Miss dinner and the forecast remains extremely specific.

House Rules

The kitchen runs on four terms, all enforceable by prolonged eye contact.

  1. Fill the bowl

    Complete the only task with a measurable definition of done.

  2. Respect the mark

    It retires after dinner and ignores all verbal assurances.

  3. Watch the weather

    Cloud pressure rises whenever the bowl shows ceramic.

  4. Skip the speech

    Explanations contain no protein and delay the required outcome.

Feed first. Questions can wait.
