[He bats at the ribbon until it falls from where it's dangling, at which point he chews on it a bit before losing interest and flopping down onto his side. It's not moving anymore, so there isn't any fun in attacking it now.
And it was fun to play with the ribbon, loath as his human mind is to admit it. Besides, he's defrosting a little in his resistance to his feline feelings while he's in this form. Especially with Ori watching him so fondly. It's not unlike how he regards her when she turns into a cat or other animal to comfort him--something she's done more than once in their romance. Given how they've both felt recently, a bit of animal companionship for his beloved stars is more than warranted. He can just let himself be a cat for awhile, if it makes her happy.
(There will be time for nursing his pride and dealing with related feelings of mortification later.)
He nudges the fallen ribbon and meows at her. Hopefully she'll get the hint.]
