Okay, a talking cat wouldn't bother him so much. He'd had to deal with a talking hat back at his sorting, right? And that hadn't been so bad...! Even talking cats weren't all that horrible. Homeward Bound made for a great movie, after all. And that cat from Cats and Dogs? Hee, Mr. Tinkles! They were fantastic! Amusing, even!
But this... this was different. This... was a talking lion. Lions were big. And scary. And could very easily eat Doug Murphy. This one seemed particularly angry in general. Or at least... mean. Or something. In a word, Doug was terrified.
"So, uh," he was squeaking in a stammering voice, eyebrows raised. "Hyenas, huh?"
