Stray cattle walked into our open-air restaurant mid-meal — stay seated or stand aside?

Stand calmly, lift bags and food off the floor path, and let staff steer the animal out — sudden shouting can startle cattle more than quiet movement. Most open-air places in the hills treat an occasional wanderer as a nuisance, not an attack. Sit again when the aisle is clear, or ask for a more enclosed table if you are rattled. I will not invent a cattle disturbance charge. You do not need to abandon a paid meal unless you want to; you do need space and calm.
