      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.

I informed them that it was separation anxiety, my mom didn’t believe me…still doesn’t. Some people just don’t get it.

      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.

      My cats absolutely lose their marbles when their dad comes home. They get jealous if he doesn’t manage to pet them both at the same time, lol. If we could all teach our cats to use these buttons maybe we would have less incidents of plants knocked off the window sill in an act of frustration that we cannot meet the needs they are trying to convey to us. My cats really appreciate the time I take to try to understand what they want and need.

      @graciep.6984 2 года назад +3

      It may not be this much. I’m sure they do miss you, but cats understand routines and will know that you’ll come home soon. I think the problem with Dad in Ghana was that he didn’t come home on schedule and Billi didn’t understand why. Thankfully Mom was around to reassure her.
      (…and this is where I went on a bit of a tangent. Adding this after the ramble below was done).
      Billi may not have understood the exact words or timeframe, but as with kids, a calm tone of voice will help. Like when little kids fall, and they look at their parents to see what their reaction was. If the parent rushes over, expressing worry and comfort before the child has shown distress can tell the child that the fall was upsetting and tears shortly follow. If the parent smiles and goes “oops!” or something of the sort, the kid may smile or laugh too. Frightened animals apparently react much the same way. It’s so hard not to smother them with sympathy and concern when they’re scared, for example during a thunderstorm or something, but if they see you worried it can reinforce their feeling that there’s something to be afraid of. A calm demeanor and gentle attention lets them know that you aren’t worried about the storm. They may still be scared, but not as much.
      Or so I was taught, anyway. A tip from one of my absolute favorite vets ever. But it was so hard to do! I had to retrain myself to be calmly reassuring, even when their fear made me want to go full protective mama mode.

    This is so wonderful! I love that Billie asks and answers questions! This technology shows us so much and helps pets get through to us clueless humans! It's amazing to see how well they understand what's going on and we can better learn what they like, dislike, want and need.
