As much as it is far more comfortable to be in his actual animal form rather than forcing himself into the wrong shape, the advantage of the cat was that he generally got to see what was going on because he couldn't fit into a pocket so easily.
(Zhao Jing did, occasionally, lament the size of the cat form, despite being adamantly against the scorpion one. In his meaner moments, Xie suspected Yifu was creeped out by it)
He shuffles aside when Kevin's hand joins him in the pocket, though he is somewhat tempted to fuck with him. He's tempted to sting him, too, but he can no more do that than he could attack him earlier.
There's no avoiding brushing up against him sometimes, with the faint jostle of the pocket, but he does at least try.
He tenses at the sound of a car door closing nearby, especially after Kevin has slowed to a stop.
He still doesn't use the link to ask what's going on, though. It's part out of spite and, truthfully, part out of habit. Yifu never liked it if Xie bothered him too much.
