"Casual... even though you could die?"
That's a wild-sounding bunch! Yota looked surprised.

At being mistaken for a rabbit, Yota's ears slick back against his head, like an angry cat. "A rabbit...?" he said in a low, angry voice, the tip of his tail flicking.
He turned, still holding his rabbit. "I'm a cat! We've got sharp teeth and long tails! Well, most of us have long tails anyway. Never those little cotton tails. Sharper claws, too!"

Yota bared his fangs just so Faux could see.
