I definitely figured on maybe cultural stuff? He's already been exposed to Earth music by his dad and loves it and would be the type to just go like "BAM, check this human music out," and share some song or album he found, as well as be interested in Till's music. I think he'd be fascinated by Till's art because art just hasn't been a big part of his life due to a very combat-oriented upbringing.
What'll be interesting about the distrust is Little Cato grew up in a military dictatorship and his father (a general) ran afoul of the dictator by refusing to kill Lil C to show his loyalty. (Cato saw the kids of the other generals all get shot to death around him).
Since his dad wouldn't do it, Cato was captured and imprisoned for 3 years from when he was 11 on and it was...bad. (I have an opt out in his journal for anyone that needs it, but he tends to keep it close to the vest anyway.)
The circumstances are different, but he completely understands distrust because some alien asshole hurt or controlled someone. He'd be gentle with any distrust he notices, even without knowing the cause, because he has a lot of reasons to feel the same sometimes, although different things trigger it.
