one thing I never see anyone take into account is the fact that Hogwarts must be crawling with cats. you’re allowed to bring either a cat, an owl, or a toad. if we assume only 1/3 of the students bring cats with them, that’s still, like, HUNDREDS OF CATS.

#and how many of those cats were spayed or neutered??#are there rules about spaying/neutering your cat and when were those rules made if so?#do the teachers remember the ‘great kitten infestation of 65?#where they had not just hundreds of cats at hogwarts but HUNDREDS OF KITTENS#so many kittens the students come to hogwarts with a cat and come home with an armful of them#teachers are given kittens#mcgonagall walking into class carrying a kitten#kittens chasing after dumbledore’s robes in the great hall#playpens in the common rooms for kittens#kittens everywhere

WHAT IF MCGONAGALL TAUGHT MANNERS AND STUFF TO THE KITTENS AND THEY EVEN TRAINED THEM TO BE LIKE HELPERS. LIKE THEY COULD LEAD 1ST YEARS TO CLASS AND ALERT TEACHERS TO MISCHIEF OR RETRIEVE MADAME POMPFREY IN AN EMERGENCY
