Luckily Katie had good enough reflexes that she managed to snatch her hand out of the way in time to prevent Sphinx from scratching or biting her. These were instincts honed not just through quidditch, but through experience with her own kitten. When the pizza arrived though, Katie shifted the kitten out of the way so she could move up onto the couch and grab a slice. After taking a bite and chewing, she said, "Hey, I never say no to the hard stuff if you're in! I could use it after the morning I had."
