At first he thinks maybe it's a way to give yourself claws. Hm, yes, very good for fighting. Turns out it's just for the fashion - and for SCRITCHES

YOU LIVED???

his eyes go wide the first time he gets scritched on the head...he can't normally reach there that well and probably had no idea he even possessed this kind of reflex! the wide eyes then become half-lidded eyes as he leans into it. borb: PACIFIED. (they notice him staring at their hands sometimes after that lol. he probably googles "how to ask to be petted in a dignified and manly way?")

his eyes def do the cat thing. pupils get all dilated.
