Something tells me there were whole aspects of Viking culture that were ignored by Hagar the Horrible....
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There is much wisdom in Hagar's Guide to Being a Viking (a real book which we own), such as "Never steal anything that needs to be walked, watered, or cleaned up after."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe the drinking horns are inserted into Valkyrie cleavage.
Great. Now I want to be a Valkyrie next year for Halloween. I hate late October/early November. Filled with fruitless costume ideas.
Boss just came by to ask me a bunch of questions about stuff. Not only did I not have to hide a browser window, I could answer everything intelligently. I feel this means I should go home now, on this high point.

So cats are cool then? (It's cool to be a cat?)

I guess if you don't let your cats have water you don't have to worry about cleaning their poop for very long.

"To water" implies some regular action on your part. Making sure there's water around, should kitty want to drink some, does not imply action, or maybe occasional action. At least that's how I rationalize it.

Horses are to be kept fed and watered...that's kinda how I was reading it.

The Talmudic debates that could break out at every theft opportunity amuse me. "No, no, it can get its own water, we can steal it." "No, we have to clean up after it, we can't steal it." "Well, what does it really mean, to clean up after?"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Actually, I say that I'm watering (and foddering) the cats all the time. But then they often sound like a small herd of cattle, hence my confusion.
