Badger seems to have realized when he jumps in the window and yowls at me to come into the kitchen to watch and pet him while he eats I’ll not immediately respond and he’ll stand at the threshold for a while meowing and grumbling, but if he comes in to get pet and skritched I’ll usually prioritize him, so now he’s starting to come in and purr and get pet for a while and then circles back to the door to lead me to the kitchen

From his perspective I’m sure he’s tricking me but from mine I’m finally training him to seek attention by being cute not obnoxious
