Ivan catches the cookie tossed to him with only a little fumbling. And that's when something clicks in his mind.

He doesn't have time for a pet! He can't take a bat with him while he's at his job. It would have to be stuck alone in his small apartment, and even when Ivan comes back from work, he'll be so tired. He won't be able to give it the attention it needs. And he neighbors are probably going to complain because it'll probably squeak a lot because it's lonely... The poor thing deserves so much better than him.

"How do you do it? I mean, if you're a hero, how do you also have time for a pet? For two of them?"

Well, Mr. Sky High does, but at the same time, he's Mr. Sky High.
