Theo certainly wasn't a star in any case. He didn't like the touch at all, something quite apart from the coldness of th hand against his face making him shudder, his thin stomach turning but the contact seeming to hold him in place.
He pulled back and away from it once the hand was removed. "No!" he said emphatically. "No cats come with needle hands and pierce and grab, no teeth tearing heads, heads off, heads..." that wasn't a pleasant image, leading to another unpleasant image and Theo actually whimpered, curling up and shivering with his hands over his head.
