I made this to show some of the more obvious elements of our communication. I wdn’t normally hassle him to come up, but I knew it would clearly show how he says ‘no’. He knows I know he’s not done yet; he has to do his last call.

There’s a lot of nuance in head movements, eye contact, &body language. It’s taken a while for me to learn, but I’m getting there. You might notice he doesn’t *like saying ‘no’ but doesn’t understand why I’m being pushy (not what I usually do).
His reaction to Astro is closer to being irritated by a sibling kooka &is not at all behaviour related to being scared of a dog (Egg goes psycho to get away from any other dogs). Egg does the head bob which in this instance shows he’s ready to engage with me after his call.
He shows that coming up is on his terms, before getting sidetracked &forgetting that he’s teaching me a lesson, reverting to familiarity &cosily putting foot no.2 on my hand😂
It’s my favourite thing, those soft little feet on my arm.

That absent-minded placement of foot no.2 shows me he’s more than willing to come up &come inside, even though he’s distracted. We did go closer to the fence so he had a better view of whatever was so diverting, &we stopped by the mealworm farm on the way in.
