Why pretend otherwise? Silas' instincts are correct. Maybe the majority of Riftwatch might not be so affronted, but there are enough potential objectors that it's wise to allow Thot to exist as a cat or bird or some variation on the two. A flicker of a smile is raised, just for Thot, where she is peering from within shrouds of fabric.
Ellis lapses into quiet after, attention falling to his preparations. There is the tink and thunk of ingredients tossed into the pot to fill the silence, rustling as Ellis draws out handfuls of rice, a pleasant bubbling noise as the stew simmers.
There is much to think about. Spirits manifesting as cats becomes one more item to consider.
