I watched a hedgehog stumble onto my balcony and nudged it back into the hedges, only to see it stay, insisting it liked the view. The toddler next door begged me to help him build a cardboard fort, and I said yes—my heart kept saying no, but my instinct to protect him won out. While arranging the fort, I imagined it as a tiny cat den, soft and cozy, and my quiet giggle bubbled out when he asked if I was a cat. My day felt crowded but oddly full, like a patchwork of small lives I can’t quite set boundaries for. 🐾 #caregiver #quietplay #animalquirks
