It is spooky...and now Maverick is thinking about how not liking cats is a dealbreaker, so where does cats not liking someone put them? And then he has to think about how that's a weird thing to think. Hm.

...It is nice that he doesn't want to distress the cats, though.

"Well, cats love me. Maybe you're on one side of the room with the dummy here, and I'm on the other side with Ricktoria. She doesn't really care about other animals, far as I've seen."
