Tomoe Mami does this thing called "head scritches". Kyuubey's host body relays the sensation is pleasing, and so he leans into her hand.

"... When you approached me during the accident," Mami says, in a tone Kyuubey has learned to read as "confiding". He listens closely - it will help him in determining what sort of magic girl Mami is. "I thought you were scary." She scritches his head more. "But now... I hope you don't mind me saying you are cuddly."

"Not at all," Kyuubey replies. It's best that Mami remains ignorant of her frightening potential for fighting entropy.
