[Normally being picked up by person hands like Church's would also come some kind of verbal warning, like kitty! or no no no don't lick the magic rocks or are you another one of Zazu's then, but no. Church can't say those things. All he sees is a collared cat being curious about glowing rocks that may or may not be toxic in some manner loose in the caves. Therefore, he's going to pick it up. Just a big fully armored blue guy. This is fine.]
