So the pattern is Badger refuses to go into the kitchen and eat from his bowls

while I am awake and around, if I’m asleep or away he’ll solo them just fine

If I am visibly around but do not go into the kitchen he’ll implore me for a while and then make a dramatic gesture of going off *anywhere that is not into the kitchen to eat*

If I just shut myself in my room it’s like 1/3 chance the above paragraph, 1/3 the sleeping/away routine and 1/3 just yowling outside my door for 2 hours
