It's a good thing he can't hear her calling him mangy. He wouldn't appreciate that. At her offer, the cat turns and pauses, tail swishing from side to side.

"Is that a trick?"

He doesn't know her and Mogget is suspicious of humans and their tendency to want to pick up cats and cuddle them. (Or worse, the ones that don't like cats and want to tie them up in sacks and throw them in the river. That almost happened once. He doesn't like to recall it.)
