Thus far - we have learned that Mister Feather Stone loves cuddling, smushicorning, nugget-huggin, napping, snuggling in his blanket nest, riding in his snuggit, snacking on squishy & delicious food.
( SMUSHICORN: when you touch or grab a nugget's face and press against all their wrinkles and furs and kisses and soft ears and wet noses into one magic ball of love, followed by planting a giant kiss on the place where their invisible corn-horns shoot out.
Wondermous Brilliantia ::: he’s tiny ataxic fantastic. a golden oldie…)
He has limited sight with sonar, (he enjoys playing with tennis balls : pretty incredible to witness him find one in the first place.
