[Ambulon is holding up a cat. A very small kitty. You may recognize the cat, actually.]

I've... recently come into possession of Whirl's cat. Splat, I think is its name. It appears a little malnourished.

[He looks at the cat. The cat looks at him. It is a tense two seconds.]

I used the wikireader to research these animals, and it... It was. Interesting. To say the least. But I have a good idea on what I need to... feed it. Does anyone have any cat food? Or, you know, general tips on how to-- [Splat coughs up a hairball on his hand] ... take care of cats.

[He'd go to respond but--]

Are you aware that cats shed their skin-- their fur-- a lot? [For example, he picks a few hairs off Splat, who doesn't seem phased at all.]

[deadlydoctor]

[WHY THERE'S ALWAYS SKIN BEING SHED WHEN YOU ARE AROUND, AMBULON? Knock out makes a disgusted face.]

...

There, your perfect pet. He already looks like you.

If he's already doing that it mean you should feed him more.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[Ambulon just~ sprinkles some of that cat fur in front of the feed.] Right, well, assuming if it's no trouble, I'll need to monitor him closely for a few days. To make sure he's adjusting and eating well. So that might mean bringing him to the medbay with me. I'm sure you won't mind?

[Sorry, KO, you bring out his inner jackass. Who knew he had it in him!]

[deadlydoctor]

[Sir, one day all that sass will get you in trouble. And you will end repainted and with a Hello kitty drawing on your back.]

Stop touching those, it's disgusting. [Wait, what.] Why can't you leave him in your room with a camera to monitor the little pest?

[Lovely, just lovely.]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I'm afraid that might distract me. Besides, cats are social creatures. [Are they? Or are those dogs? He doesn't care.] They need to be socialized. I think you should meet him.

[deadlydoctor]

It will distract you even more if it stays here. And it can end squashed easily. Or Glit might think it's his long lost cousin.

....meet him. [You sir are joking, right?]

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

Oh, of course. You're right. [SMUG ASSHOLE]

Yes, I believe you should. What if I am unable to care for him and need someone to come by and check up on him? And everyone else I trust is unavailable? I think he might like you. He's quite fond of using his claws to show his interest in people.

[deadlydoctor]

I am right very often. [He will step on that cat is he has to, just to prove a point. Don't make him have to clean the bloddy mess from his tires later, it's annoying.

Knock Out glares at Ambulon for some long seconds. Then, slowly, a huge grin appears on his face. Is not a nice one.]

Perhaps you are right. We seems to have something in common already. [Did you say claws? Check Knock Out's.]

Why don't you let me take care of him for a few days, hm?

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[deadpan] Do not touch Splat. [He still sounds deadpan even when pseudo-threatening.]

[deadlydoctor]

But you said I should meet him. Let's do that.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

[pinches bridge of nose] Remind me to bring you a lump of his fur.

[deadlydoctor]

Bring the whole cat if you dare.

[rstlsslegsyndrm]

I think a lump of fur will suffice. I don't want him to spray.

[deadlydoctor]

and here I was thinking that you wanted us to be friends.
