Mik that is so great. I know others talk about a shower trance. Not Nila he jumps around and doesn't want me touching his wet feathers. He loves the shower though.
I hope you can extend the touch to other times. I love to snuggle Nila. He's bluffing this past week but today was way better. I took his play stand that was inside and put it on the lanai, since it's cooler now.
He stayed out there about all day and loved it and has been a perfect darlin since he came in. Maybe Baby just needs his routine messed up so he feels like he needs you.
I just hope whatever works and you get to pet him all the time
