The Cat listens, the Cat understands, the Cat even nods his head along with what Charles is saying to communicate both of these facts... but the Cat had not, by any means, expected the conversation to go in this direction, and he gets that across by capping off his non-verbal agreement with a little incredulous mewl of laughter.
"You're a little freak, aren't you? I always thought it was the quiet ones, but it turns out the ones who bark the loudest can be just as naughty given the opportunity." Because, inescapably, wanting to sandwich your... boyfriend — or whatever he and Edwin are — between yourself and a mirror image of yourself is pretty freaky stuff. He doesn't stop playing with Charles' badges, enjoying the little tapping sound his claws make against it, and from this close he can study Charles' face properly.
"...I thought he hated it. Did he say anything to make you think he didn't when he told you?"
Far be it from him to pick holes in Charles' plan given that he's known Edwin the longest out of the two of them, but the Cat saw Edwin's expression when he transformed, and though it could have been down to the whole unrealised crush of it all, the Cat also knows how copy-happy Hell can be. Can Charles really be sure Edwin hasn't got some baked in reluctance to see more than one Charles running around, no matter the state of his undress?
