Doctor discovers troubled return to Perivale

Four scrawny, matted cats prowl Horsenden Hill, their movements synchronizing eerily with the Doctor and Ace’s arrival. One pauses to observe Ace with unafraid eyes, its tail flicking in lazy menace, while another sniffs at discarded cans. Their eerie coordination and disregard for normal feline wariness suggest they are not mere animals but spectral sentinels observing the incursion of alien time travelers.

Before: Normal stray cats lounging in the hill’s overgrowth

After: Elevated to ominous observers, their behavior marked as unnaturally purposeful
