You're not wrong. [Kuroo grins.] Cats are kind of our team theme.
Any particular kind of petting you like? Ear scritches, petting under the chin, stuff like that? [Normally one has to feel out a cat's boundaries in this area. Kuroo almost has to restrain himself from doing that automatically; with a cat that can talk, and that can establish its own boundaries, it feels weird to touch it without permission or asking it what it likes.
...well, he. Probably a he, judging by the voice, although honestly who knows if talking cats work the same way as humans in that regard? But he supposes thinking of the cat as 'it' isn't kind, either. It's kind of a mental stumbling block, thinking of an animal in the same respectful manner as one would another person, but when the animal clearly has at least human-level sentience and the ability to communicate, it only seems appropriate to treat him like a person. Just...a very small, unusually shaped person.]

I'm Kuroo Tetsurou, by the way. What's your name?
