Badger is good at waiting patiently for me to put my contacts in.

Well, Badger has always been good about attending me when I feel like shit

Sympathizing with Badger getting all twitchy and neurotic, because if those sounds in the next room were a threat, it’d be more of a problem for him than me

Badger’s been extra luvvy lately, which usually happens as he switches between his hot-weather and cold-weather daily patterns

Badger has, naturally, claimed my putting-on-your-shoes chair as his new parlor throne

kontextmaschine:

If Badger just absolutely refuses to stop meowing no matter how long I put him off I know the thing he wants is for me to open the door and let him out, which is like the one thing (he sometimes comes in through the window in like 3 mins) he meows for that he can do on his own

He hasn’t done this for years, it was an artifact of the way I didn’t let him out for the first year but opened the front door and gave him a seat to watch out the screen (& regularly put him on my shoulder to walk around the block)

Have decided it’s a fair balance that Badger keeps trying to meow me to feed him a dozen minutes earlier and every few weeks I’m just somewhere else entirely and feed him a few hours late

Badger getting a thicker coat in

Badger’s switching back from his summer behavior where he’s away all the time and almost only ever returns for meals, he’s going back to climbing into bed with me when I go back to sleep after breakfast

Haha, earlier this week I propped a basement window and set up a ramp cause I want Badger to get used to using it so I don’t have to keep a first-floor one open in winter, and just now I was sitting in the parlor with Badger on a windowsill when that striped chocolate-chip cat walked in from the kitchen. It was a scene!

After a period of being distant, Badger has started seeking me out and leading me to my room for skritches again.

Got a 5-meal automatic wet food feeder, so I guess I have a 2-days range away from home now
