  • Billi has been pretty consistent about wondering where the heck Dad is when he travels!
    Make sure you wait for the end, Billi really said “you’ve taken too much time for yourself, it’s about me now!” 😹



    Billi is a female domestic shorthair, she's 13 years old, her favorite word is mad.
    Inspiration for learning to “speak” with buttons from Hunger4Words (check her out on IG).

    "Dad in Ghana."

    Reminds me of when you tried to explain that the toy she asked for was in the mail. Both geography and postal service must be weird concepts for a cat.

      Yeah, I think I mentioned before that there could be a "travel" or "trip" button. Billi has traveled enough to understand the concept very well, I bet. Would be useful for a variety of important information.

      I like to imagine that since words are buttons located in physical space for Billi that when she does that, she's looking for words. We don't walk around like that (usually) because our words are in our head, and come out of our mouths. While for Billi, they're spread out across the floor. Can you imagine if we had to remember the physical location of all the words we know to be able to say them?

      I wouldn't have said "outside", even if he's camping or something, because she'd probably imagine that to be the outside she knows, near home. Although, Bunny always wants to know where Dad sleeps when he's away, so if he is camping, maybe say he sleeps outside, but make sure she understands it's far away. Maybe you could do some modeling of far and near using her toys or yourself. You could also talk about your road trip to explain traveling far.

      Not just cats. All domesticated animals. I remember reading about a pet parrot who was going to have to stay at the vet overnight. As the owner was leaving, the bird cried out, “Take me with you! I’ll be good!” (He had heard the children say this to their parents repeatedly when they would leave the house.) The owner turned back around and took the parrot home with her. She said it broke her hear! It broke mine just reading about it! This is why I cannot foster. I did it once but how do you explain to the animal that it was always temporary and they didn’t do anything wrong? That you’re not rejecting them? Some would say they don’t have those kinds of feelings, but I’m sure they do.
