Awwww Dad ouch, Dad go vet! 🤒 I'm sorry to hear that you were sick!!! Thinking of you and hoping that you are feeling better!!!!! 🌺 PS - I love this channel and Todd so much!! 😻 Thank you for the work you do to share Todd with all of us -- it's much appreciated!! 🌷
Aww. At first I thunk Todd may have thought if he chose other games Dad might be able to play! I hope he eventually cuddled Dad! Get better soon Dad. ♥️🐈🤧
Todd might have been especially disappointed because he was told that after seven laters, "Do anything Todd want." He seems to be a very forgiving good boy, and I am sure that Dad will make it up to him.
He has more empathy than any of my cats. They did finally understand “ouch cough” when we had the flu with fits of coughing and we needed more sleep. But it’s hard not to be disappointed when he has awaited your return from being away working & it’s hard not to want to give him what he needs.
Dad, so glad you’re okay now! Todd is resilient, loves you, and is a forgiving guy. And you are an excellent Dad to all of your fur kids. I get that you hate disappointing Todd, but cut yourself some slack; you’re a man, not a machine.
I am disabled with chronic illness. My cat had to learn early on I can't always get up. Often I can't. She's not a lap cat and wants me in her area just chilling together. I can't physically do that. I'm sure she's felt disappointed a lot but she is amazing about it because she knows she gets my best and more.
I think cats are (almost) always excited to get more from us when they can, but they seem to understand we have our limits just as they do. Well, most of the time!
Dear Dad, sending cheery good wishes that you feel well again very soon. Your loving care of Todd, teaching him to use word buttons, has given him the consolation of understanding and communication. Todd doesn't suffer the frustration of confusion of being unable to express his love and concern for you and the other family members. Later, later, Todd will wait with excitement for a play date with Dad, knowing that Dad is 'all better now'. Bless you Dad.😘😻🙏
Poor Dad. I hope you feel better soon and don’t worry, cats understand when we are sick. I’m sure Todd completely understands because he is so smart and understands Dad ouch. Todd will probably sleep cuddle Dad until he is all better. Hopefully it will be very soon. ❤
Oh Dad, Todd knows you love him but isn’t quite ready to understand that sometimes, even after 7 laters you need time to recover from anything you picked up. He will understand but is always likely to be disappointed. It’s just like us, when something we want doesn’t happen we tend to be disappointed too. Todd is the most human cat I have ever seen. His unconditional love is absolutely that. ❤️
I hope you feel better soon. I just went through a flu and my purrfurs didn't understand what was, or rather wasn't, going on. So wonderful that you can explain to Todd how you feel 😻 Take care and best wishes from Germany 🌻
Didn't see you at first lol not used to you laying down, bless Todd you promised him when you got back you would play he realised when you said ouch that you were not well
I hope you did get some sleep cuddles! I'm also sick with the flu, but my kitties aren't the nursing type. The best i get is a checkup cuddle for like five minutes max. 😅 Still love them lots though!
Poor Dad! I've managed to get 3 different viruses already this winter. Todd did accept you can't play now, but he could have given you some cuddles! There's the true feline showing, "Yeah, no, not right now. I do not wish it."
@ oh!! Yes!! I remember he uses the buttons for the other kittys name, and once I saw him use Mom! Didn’t remember him using the Dad button ! Thank you for reminder😊🌷🐈⬛hope you feel better soon, and hugs and kisses to your kitties🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛💕
It's not for want of trying! He gave you three options, one after the other, in rapid succession. So sorry you had to deal with the flu, and Todd missed out on your company. It's so nice, though, that Todd can tell you which games he wants to play. My most recent cat, he only liked to play with toy mice. And after experiencing balance issues, he stopped playing all together. It was so sad. I was giving him a tiny amount of Dramamine each day, per the doctor's instructions. Because he had motion sickness. It is a long story. But I had to put away all his mice. So nice to see how eager Todd is to play! It must be therapeutic for him, as he also has balance issues of his own.
I interpret Todd pushing the buttons repeatedly as Todd is trying to make Dad feel better by getting him up and doing activities that make Todd feel better.
Dad don't forget that kitties can always tell when something's wrong with us. He knows that you need to rest. I do know how you feel though. I'm the same way with my kitties! Take care of yourself! ❤️ You guys!
You run a tight and demanding schedule, please take care of yourself. I used to do that and was ill frequently. At age 76 I still have moments of tiredness. Not from my now life, but from te years of pushing too hard. Love to Todd, Paulie, and Glamour!
You have my sympathies. My family and I have been sick for a couple weeks now with what I think is RSV. Worse than a cold, but not as bad as the flu. We are all getting better now though, and hope you are feeling better too.
Oh, poor Dad sounded miserable here.🤒 I've had the flu this month as well, so I know how he felt. I hope that Todd did give Dad some snuggles to make him feel better.❤️
I’m so sorry you’re sick and after just having recovered from surgery! Todd will understand. Rest and get well soon. Poor Dad. Don’t know if you got the flu shot but I get it every year and haven’t gotten the flu since taking it. I worked at a school years ago and would get so sick being around the kids. Just a suggestion 🙏
I'm sorry you were so sick, but by what your note says, you're doing better, and I'm glad to hear that! Sweet Todd! I get the feeling he was anxious about Dad laying there, not knowing why, and trying to get you up and moving (from what I've seen over time, he doesn't usually do all the rapid succession of button pushes unless something is wrong... like with the noise button). I hope he eventually got up there with you for some good cuddles and rest!
Poor Furball. He remembered you said when you got home you would play. Being sick is a royal bummer. I'm glad he's an understanding baby, mine would not let me rest today, picking at the blankets and refusing to settle. But then he knows I am not sick. Could you tolerate a spicy broth?
I hope you get better very soon, Dad !! I caught COVID-19 AGAIN while in the hospital last month and am still struggling to breathe ! So, I know how bad you feel, dear Dad.😢 Todd knows how bad "ouchies" can be, so, he understands that you can't get play with him.😢 Todd is such a beautiful soul !! Todd is the most brilliant cat I have ever witnessed and the most caring, too, as evidenced by his communicated concern to you regarding Glamour's ouchie back and his own ouchies too.❤ What an incredible soul is Todd ! ❤❤❤ You are so blessed to share your lives together !❤❤🎉❤❤
Ohhhh😢 I think Todd knew something was wrong with you 😔. He waited by you until you got some rest. ❤ You usually are not sick in the chair so he understands I think ❤ Sweet Todd! Hope you feel better soon Dad🤗
Oh, I feel that! Whenever I'm sick, my cat Amos figures as long as I'm on the couch, I can play laser pointer. He does also come up for snuggles eventually. Feel better soon, Dad!
I estimated my kitties were about the intellectual age of a 3 year old human. I estimate Todd's intelligence of a 4 - 5 year old. Todd isn't self-centered like toddlers. It isn't until 5-6 years of life to be other people oriented. Todd is definitely others oriented because of his communication to Dad about Glamour's ouchie back and about telling Dad to play with Paulie with a specific toy. That just blows me away !! So concerned for the welfare and happiness of the other kitties. No selfishness in this precious soul ! ❤🎉❤
Aw, Dad, feel better! This stupid flu season is a nasty one and my flu shot this year didn't keep it away (bad match, I guess). I feel your pain on feeling like you're disappointing your baby. I think our kitties think we humans are pretty magical and invincible, so it's hard for them to understand us being truly down and out, in pain and/or ill and unable to magically rally like the gods they think we are. 😢
Praying that both Dad and Todd feel better soon. Dad better from flu, and Todd better from disappointment. 🙏🙏🙏
That desolate "Dad love you.." at the end 😢
Awwww Dad ouch, Dad go vet! 🤒 I'm sorry to hear that you were sick!!! Thinking of you and hoping that you are feeling better!!!!! 🌺
PS - I love this channel and Todd so much!! 😻 Thank you for the work you do to share Todd with all of us -- it's much appreciated!! 🌷
Tell Todd that the internet would happily play with him all day long if possible!!
Todd completely understands that 'dad ouch.' Feel better soon and get plenty of rest and fluids.
right, he was just wondering if playing a game would cheer Dad up the way it makes Todd happy.
:)
Sending healing vibes for a rapid recovery. He did understand you once he listened.
Todd seem determined to play but he seem understood that dad needed rest and accepted with patience.
Aww. At first I thunk Todd may have thought if he chose other games Dad might be able to play!
I hope he eventually cuddled Dad!
Get better soon Dad. ♥️🐈🤧
I think, because of Todd's look toward Dad, that he understood "Dad ouch".
Feel better, Dad! So sorry you're sick.
Poor Todd, and poor Dad with the flu. Hope it passes quickly!
Todd might have been especially disappointed because he was told that after seven laters, "Do anything Todd want." He seems to be a very forgiving good boy, and I am sure that Dad will make it up to him.
Aw, get well soon Dad! ❤
Todd was so excited he didn't hear dad right away.
Get well Dad. Todd is adorable.
He has more empathy than any of my cats. They did finally understand “ouch cough” when we had the flu with fits of coughing and we needed more sleep. But it’s hard not to be disappointed when he has awaited your return from being away working & it’s hard not to want to give him what he needs.
AWWWWW! POOR Toddie! However, he is a creature of great understanding and compassion, so I bet Dad got a good rest.
oh the Flu is the worst, so sorry, feel better very soon. Poor Todd, they dont understand
Get well soon, Dad!
Hope you get much healing sleep cuddles with Todd, Glamour and Paulie
Flying in the winter is ripe for illness. Hope you feel better.
Dad, so glad you’re okay now! Todd is resilient, loves you, and is a forgiving guy. And you are an excellent Dad to all of your fur kids. I get that you hate disappointing Todd, but cut yourself some slack; you’re a man, not a machine.
I hope you feel better soon. Having the flu is no fun. I am glad that you were able to explain to Todd that you Ouched.
I am disabled with chronic illness. My cat had to learn early on I can't always get up. Often I can't. She's not a lap cat and wants me in her area just chilling together. I can't physically do that. I'm sure she's felt disappointed a lot but she is amazing about it because she knows she gets my best and more.
I think cats are (almost) always excited to get more from us when they can, but they seem to understand we have our limits just as they do. Well, most of the time!
Cool to see Todd still speaks Cat, too.
Dear Dad, sending cheery good wishes that you feel well again very soon. Your loving care of Todd, teaching him to use word buttons, has given him the consolation of understanding and communication. Todd doesn't suffer the frustration of confusion of being unable to express his love and concern for you and the other family members.

Todd, "Ok, Dad doesn't want to brush? Wanna play Peacock Feather?" So cute! ♥
But what about Puzzle Box, or Puzzle Box, or maybe Puzzle Box? 😂
Poor Dad. I hope you feel better soon and don’t worry, cats understand when we are sick. I’m sure Todd completely understands because he is so smart and understands Dad ouch. Todd will probably sleep cuddle Dad until he is all better. Hopefully it will be very soon. ❤
I think Todd understands. He’s so smart ❤️♥️🥰😘😻🙏✝️
Oh Dad, Todd knows you love him but isn’t quite ready to understand that sometimes, even after 7 laters you need time to recover from anything you picked up.

His unconditional love is absolutely that. ❤️
Never met a human who could love as unconditionally as every Cat and Dog I have ever known.
We humans have a lot to learn from our animal friends!
Sorry you have the "crud", Dad. Hope you feel better soon. Hope Todd can understand. ❤🐾🐈⬛
Aww, he understood that you need rest, even if he's disappointed. What a sweet boy
Harder to handle your life when you’ve unleashed the English speaking cat! Feel better. ❤️
feel better!
Hope you get better soon. I'm sure Todd will be a good nurse.😊
Glad you are feeling better.
My cat understand sleep cuddle too and usually loves coming up for it.
Bless his wee heart ❤️, I hope you feel better soon, hot lemon and ginger always helps me 🙏
I hope you feel better soon. I just went through a flu and my purrfurs didn't understand what was, or rather wasn't, going on. So wonderful that you can explain to Todd how you feel 😻 Take care and best wishes from Germany 🌻
Didn't see you at first lol not used to you laying down, bless Todd you promised him when you got back you would play he realised when you said ouch that you were not well
Feel better soon!! I hope Todd is taking good care of you ❤🩹💖
Hope your better soon.I think Todd understands.
Sending healing vibes your way!
Kitties know when you are not well. He is telling you what he wants when ouch is all better. Todd is persistent for sure!
I hope you did get some sleep cuddles!
I'm also sick with the flu, but my kitties aren't the nursing type. The best i get is a checkup cuddle for like five minutes max. 😅 Still love them lots though!
Thank you all very much for sharing! Hope you all feel better now.🥰💖👍
Todd's very loving presence will help you get better soon...you guys are both so sweet. Take care and get well!
So sorry you got sick, Todd is priceless ❤❤❤😊
I also have the flu, over a week now 🤧 uhg. I hope that you feel better soon 💓
Get well soon!
Get well soon!
Poor Dad! I've managed to get 3 different viruses already this winter. Todd did accept you can't play now, but he could have given you some cuddles! There's the true feline showing, "Yeah, no, not right now. I do not wish it."
This virus this year is a mean one! Feel better soon.
He accepted that very quickly, peacock feather, dad can't dad ouch, peacock feather, brush, brush, puzzle box.... lol
Poor Todd but even more poor Dad!! Praying you feel better soon and Todd does sleep cuddle!
Get well soon!! Todd was determined to have some playtime with Dad!! How precious was “Love You “, I’m curious! Is there a “ Dad” button? 🌷🐈⬛💕
Yes, there is a Dad, Mom, Todd, Paulie, and Glamour buttons.
@ oh!! Yes!! I remember he uses the buttons for the other kittys name, and once I saw him use Mom! Didn’t remember him using the Dad button ! Thank you for reminder😊🌷🐈⬛hope you feel better soon, and hugs and kisses to your kitties🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛💕

Cats live in the here and now better than we do. They understand having to give in to not feeling well. Get well soon, Dad!
You run a tight and demanding schedule, please take care of yourself. I used to do that and was ill frequently. At age 76 I still have moments of tiredness. Not from my now life, but from te years of pushing too hard. Love to Todd, Paulie, and Glamour!
The flu is very bad this year. I hope you will be better very soon.
You have my sympathies. My family and I have been sick for a couple weeks now with what I think is RSV. Worse than a cold, but not as bad as the flu. We are all getting better now though, and hope you are feeling better too.
Hi Dad and Todd. Todd is so sweet. I love when he says he loves you. Feel better Dad.
I hope you recover soon. Todd is so deeply bonded with you he waited 5 long days for you. I hope he can understand.
Aww, poor Todd. Feel better soon, daddy.
Oh, poor Dad sounded miserable here.🤒 I've had the flu this month as well, so I know how he felt. I hope that Todd did give Dad some snuggles to make him feel better.❤️

Take care of yourself Dad! Todd will understand that Dad ouch 🤕
Get well soon
Get well!!! 💝
Aaahhh so sorry you're down with the flu it was awful this year🙏🏻 Hope Todd gave you some snuggles❤
Get well soon. Todd thinks you need to work it out lol.
I hope you get better very soon, Dad !!
I caught COVID-19 AGAIN while in the hospital last month and am still struggling to breathe !
So, I know how bad you feel, dear Dad.😢
Todd knows how bad "ouchies" can be, so, he understands that you can't get play with him.😢
Todd is such a beautiful soul !!
Todd is the most brilliant cat I have ever witnessed and the most caring, too, as evidenced by his communicated concern to you regarding Glamour's ouchie back and his own ouchies too.❤
What an incredible soul is Todd !
❤❤❤
You are so blessed to share your lives together !❤❤🎉❤❤
Yup, Todd wasn't to happy. Feel better, Dad.
Ohhhh😢
I think Todd knew something was wrong with you 😔. He waited by you until you got some rest. ❤
You usually are not sick in the chair so he understands I think ❤
Sweet Todd!
Hope you feel better soon Dad🤗
Get better soon! Todd really understands that Dad isn't feeling well. 🥰🙏
Poor Dad! Feel better soon!🎉
Sending prayers love and hugs to Dad and the cats
Feel better soon ❤
Fell better, Dad!
Aww… that’s ok, dad will
Be better soon, okay Todd ? 🙂↔️
Get well soon xx
I hope he cuddled Dad! ❤
Omgoodness. Hope you feel better soon 💕 I think Todd will understand.
Aww sending love, and glad you're on the mend!❤
Feel better soon Todd’s Dad❤
Hope you feel better soon!
Oh Todd will get over it 😄💜
Feel better soon,🙏🏼 holding you up in prayer.
Sorry for both of you. Todd is a GREAT cat.
Oh boy, I feel for you. You are very sick. Praying you feel better soon. I believe all animals understand when we don't feel good.
Oh, I feel that! Whenever I'm sick, my cat Amos figures as long as I'm on the couch, I can play laser pointer. He does also come up for snuggles eventually.
Feel better soon, Dad!
I wonder how smart he is. Like 2-year old? 3-year old?
I would love to know as well.
I estimated my kitties were about the intellectual age of a 3 year old human.
I estimate Todd's intelligence of a 4 - 5 year old.
Todd isn't self-centered like toddlers.
It isn't until 5-6 years of life to be other people oriented.
Todd is definitely others oriented because of his communication to Dad about Glamour's ouchie back and about telling Dad to play with Paulie with a specific toy.
That just blows me away !!
So concerned for the welfare and happiness of the other kitties.
No selfishness in this precious soul !
❤🎉❤
Feel better soon ❤❤❤
Feel better soon Todd's Dad.
Aw, Dad, feel better! This stupid flu season is a nasty one and my flu shot this year didn't keep it away (bad match, I guess).
I feel your pain on feeling like you're disappointing your baby. I think our kitties think we humans are pretty magical and invincible, so it's hard for them to understand us being truly down and out, in pain and/or ill and unable to magically rally like the gods they think we are. 😢
So sorry you were unwell! Maybe Todd will find sleep cuddles a good substitute for play. Best to all your family.❤
