Hey Friends! Finny here. I wanted to give you a little update on things here at the H.C.
I am doing pretty well. I gave my parents a little scare about a week ago when I decided not to eat or drink again. Luckily they knew what to do this time (IV fluids and another round of steroids) and I have rallied. Mom still worries about how thin I am, but I'm holding my own.
Mom has some cute recent photos of me that she will post later this week. I may be a granny, but I still have it.
Mom's new job is taking a lot of her time and she still feels mildly to moderately incompetent. I spend a great deal of time purring encouragement in her ear. It really helps. Today I made the big sacrifice of making biscuits on her arm while she tried to type some boring drivel. I took a little nibble of her hand when I felt she had gone on long enough. It's tiring to be an editor.
I realized that she is never going to be able to get anything done if I don't actively encourage her. I told her she needs to keep moving forward. She needs get going on the next book we had planned before I got sick.
She is starting to write Cat-A-Lympics and I've given her some deadlines I plan on enforcing. We will be asking for entries in certain events and we hope you'll all want to play along.
We hope you will continue to eat and do well, Fin. It's sweet of you to be so diligent about keeping your mom in line. :)
ReplyDeleteFin, you are a much nicer supervisor than I am - I will jump on my human's desk and slap and poke her when I feel she needs to step up her game or take a break. But then, I think she probably needs a sterner taskmaster than yours does.
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue to do well! I purr frequently for you.
Hi Fin,
ReplyDeleteMe and the humans R keeping U in our purrayers.
Sometimes I stop eating too, it scares them really bad.

We are delighted to hear you keep your Mum's nose to the grind stone.
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising how much time they can waste thinking when they should be doing things for us instead.
Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better today.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Keep feeling better sweet Fin, we are all here cheering you on!
ReplyDeletestay strong Fin - your mom needs a good editor!!
ReplyDeleteHi there Fin, glad to hear you are still hanging in there to give the Mom some encouraging purrs and little kneads. Sorry you were a little off a week ago. Keep on giving the encouraging meows. Take good care and Fin, we send tons of purrs and are crossing our little paws.
ReplyDeleteFin we hope you keep rallying and that you keep pushing your Mom.
ReplyDeleteTell Mom she will adjust to her job, it is hard when it is new.
I might be interested in being in the Olympics but Mom isn't sure if I will have time :(
Depends on how many events I have to participate in.
Love, Cody
You are so good to her, Finny, what would she ever do without you? We're glad your recent downtime wasn't too serious. Maybe you could just a bit more to help the 'rents not worry so much?
ReplyDeleteWe are glad you are doing well Fin after your scare a few days ago. You are very good at keeping your mum's nose to the grindstone.
ReplyDeleteWe hope we can take part in the next Car-A-Lympics. We enjoyed the last one.
Dear Fin & Mom,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words for Scooby. He was a gentle beautiful soul and we miss him deeply.
We're glad to hear you rallied, sweet Fin. And great job encouraging your mom with her work. Humans need to be pushed, we've found.
