I wanted to thank all of you for your kind words about Daddy. He's doing a bit better, but he's still in a great deal of pain. Of course I knew you would understand and be supportive, that's what friends are for. We've managed to do a little bit of visiting when we could and we really miss all of you. We miss posting too - for so many reasons I hope things get back to normal soon.
I also wanted to report on "The Help" that came this week. Daddy's parents came to help us out, because your parents always make you feel better, and we needed some help. Mommy and Daddy were so happy to have them here and I must say I was too - at first. Things started to break down when I realized neither of them spoke cat properly. I guess I forget that not all humans are so adept at our language.
I thought my meows explaining that the den chair is mine were crystal clear. Look, I'm either in it myself or I'm in Mommy's lap when she sits in it. Who doesn't understand an agitated mew when you want your box stirred, even if it's right after it's been cleaned?
Well I have to credit and say they gave it a try today and started meowing back at me, but I can't repeat the translation here. I forgave them though cause we love them.
Miss you all, have a great weekend with lots of snuggles and keep purring for us when you can.
We hope your daddy feels better soon. We're sending him lots of healing purrs.
ReplyDeleteWe've given you an award. Please stop by our blog to bask in the glory.
As per your instructions, I shall commence snuggling immediately!
ReplyDeleteIt is good that your family has some help with all that is going on.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is hard when some people are not attuned to the subtleties of our language. But, I know you will be patient with them!
Take care.
Oh Fin, not all humans understand the "stir my box" meow..or even the "look". Be patient with them. We understand you!
ReplyDeleteHi Fin! We continue to purr for your dad and hope he feels better!
ReplyDeleteAnd we hope the lines of communication improve with your "Help." At least they are giving it a try...can you believe our mom sez that our language isn't always easy to understand??
I am continuously purring for your dad. Grandfolks take a little longer to get used to our language. my gran is slowly distinguishing the mieow of 'I need food' to that of 'I want to get on your lap, please sit down'
ReplyDeleteAw, isn't that nice...to have family to help when times get rough. Just give them a little time to learn your signals Fin....they will soon understand kitty chat! That's good, your Dad feeling better...we will continue to purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Get well soon Fin's Daddy!=^Y^=the Cat Street Boyz
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful how all stick together! Hard things appear to be easier when you have family and friends at your side. We are purring for your daddy too, Fin. And the grandparents might take longer to train, but they'll get there eventually.
ReplyDeletePurrs, Siena & Chilli
Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the Grans. It will take a while for you to train them properly. Having his mom and dad there will certainly make your Dad feel better which is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHave a calm weekend, our friend.

Hey there Fin! I hope your daddy continues to improve and is back to normal soon! I'll keep purring for him. I'm sure your grandparents will learn the language soon!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you too, Fin! We are still sending lots of healing and recovery vibes to your daddy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend!
Grandaparents can be hard work, but they're worth the effort. When our Grandparents came to stay, by the time we left we had our Pop wrapped around our paws. Grandparents are very good at working a treat jar ;)
ReplyDeleteWe are purring for your Dad.
We have been catching up on your post. We are very sorry your Daddy is ill. We will purr and tail wag as hard as we can that he gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's neat you had your own doggie. We hopes one day we will get along as well with Fenris as you did with Koda.
Grandparents can be difficult. Mommy's parents came to visit last Saturday and they don't understand us at all. They don't let cats in the house (well really - it's our house). We hopes yours learns to understand cat soon.

More help is always welcomed. We hope your daddy feels much better real soon.
ReplyDeleteHave fun training your grandbeans, Fin!
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to have your mom and dad around when you are not feeling good. I'll bet they will help take good care of your dad. Even if they can't speak fluent cat.
ReplyDeleteI'm still purring for your dad!
That is good that your Beans have got help. It's strange but true that not all Beans know catspeak. It's like learning a foreign language for them. You have to be patient and teach them.
ReplyDeleteWe are sending more purrs for your dad.
We send get well greetings to your daddy! Hope he feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteWe have given you the Kreativ Blogger award. come and collect it from our blog.
ReplyDeleteI understand. I have the grandbeans watching over me while my mom is at a meeting. I miss you too, but just take your time. I hope your dad is doing okay.
ReplyDeletePurrs for your daddy. be sure and take care of Mom too - 'cos when our dad's poorly Mom gets worn out fetchin' and carrin'!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. New people to break in! Well, grandparents are made of love and we bet they'll get the hang of catspeak in no time at all.
ReplyDeleteI hope your daddy feels better soon. I am purring very hard, and so are Dumplin' and Bear too.

Oh yeah, da grandbeans is good to haf around. Our Gramma spoke cat purrty good and we all loved her lots and dey are good at making der children feel better.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your Daddy is doing better. That is a beautiful picture of you Fin. It's nice that his parents tried, but we agree, not everyone understands cats as well as Mommies and Daddies do!
ReplyDeleteThat's great your dad's parents are there. Perhaps they'll gradually learn to speak cat and stay out of your chair!
ReplyDeleteWe send purrs and barks for your dad to get better.
Dear Fin,
ReplyDeleteI love your Mommy and Daddy so much, and it makes me so sad that they are going through this tough time. Please keep snuggling them because I know it helps a lot. Love to my family, and please feel all better soon.
