With Billi’s recent surgery and my dad’s passing I’ve been working less, and apparently Billi has become accustomed to my presence 😹
I’m going to start accepting more contracts, which means travel in the future for Billi and I!
For those who don’t know, I’m a veterinarian that specializes in zoo, aquatic, and wildlife medicine. I switched over to full time relief work at the beginning of this year, so travel is a big part of what I do. Thankfully Billi is comfortable on the road and in new places 💜 Hopefully she doesn’t hold a grudge for too long when I start working more.

Billi is a female domestic shorthair, she's 15 years old, her favorite word is mad.

She was trying every angle, but at least she didn’t say “MAD”

@cautiouslycynical9786 10 ай бұрын

Surprised we see less of the "mad" button. Maybe because that was tied to a level of frustration Billi no longer experiences?

@PaperclipClips 10 ай бұрын

It does seem like at least back in some of the older videos, a portion of the [Mad] pressers were out of frustration from not being able to adequately explain / express herself, but then (at least to me) the frequency of her [Mad] button presses decreased as the total number of her available buttons increased. So now the “Mad” utterances are more strictly reserved for expressing actual anger (or sadness, as the case may be) which could be a lot fewer or farther between.

At least someone is hearing and understanding her say what she wants, and is telling her what’s going on, and that she’ll have to wait a while.

Her Madjesty showed much patience actually, lots of pacing and some words but not being mischievous. I have a cat that opens cabinet doors and lies down on ten words when he feels neglected. He throws a small tantrum. Not just “mad” but naughty. He doesn’t have to suffer that I’m gone off to work either, I’m retired. He doesn’t like when Dad goes to work for several days but he understands Mom is home almost always. Communicating those times Dad will be gone a longer time is helping him understand and accept it better. I’m confident that will be the case for Billi so she can understand the schedule will change. My condolences on the loss of your Dad. I can’t even imagine as I’ve still got both my Mom and Dad but that time is approaching. So sorry!
