It doesn't?

[ Skylark finds it difficult to imagine a place that didn't have cats (and dogs) practically everywhere.

Also he actually thought 'I'm not sure if you're one to talk.', given Jusis seems like the fussy type to him, but he has better sense than to say it outloud. ]

Lots of animals are like that, I think. Most of them won't say no to petting, except when they do and get all hot and cold about it.

[ How many cats have come up to people seemingly asking for petting only to get hissy when it's actually given, he swears.]
