#I think he'd do okay with my cats (maybe they'd let him perceive them from a distance? he is a tall man but his voice is quiet)

From this post: In order to find out how you actually feel about someone, ask yourself: "Would I have two beers with this person?" And: "Would I allow this person to look after my puppy over a weekend?"

(If you or the character in question doesn't drink beer, replace "two beers" with a the casual excuse-for-companionship beverage of your choosing.)
