"You like cats." That is a solid, valid point. You're not the same species as a cat, they can be assholes, and you're clearly worried about your cats. What the heck does species and charm have to do with anything.
Also, truthfully, Steve's pretty sure this one is more about them gaining leverage over him than the other way around.
"All right." Good info. Means if he can get a chance and enough info, maybe he can shut this thing down. Pay for it, but at least that's not the entire universe or planet paying for it. Mindflayer seems like something would think they'd be able to use, but almost certainly couldn't control. The situation for everyone else doesn't improve if they can. "Maybe they'll be smarter about it than usual."
