[Ah, but of course, cats can't talk. Regis can content himself with petting the little thing for now - conversation has never been something he needs to engage in, though he enjoys it.]

I might have owned cats if they liked me at all. [He muses to himself. Ravens liked him, but ravens were.. different.] Most of them are rather too clever to not know what I am. Hmm... [Scratching lightly behind the cat's ear, he chuckles.]

Perhaps you are smarter still, hm?
