I feel for both Todd and Dad. It is an impossible situation of the human world's making. By the way, when I used to tell my cats when their Dad would come home from "a hunting trip" we would tell them in terms of how many sunrises until Dad came home. We figured they might understand that since Cats are very attuned the day break and sunset. Ours knew day break meant Breakfast for them! It was a long time ago so they only got to hear Dad's voice over the telephone when he called in. It did seem to help.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks And Todd's slow blink at the end of the video tells me that's what you will get this time too-cuddles and slobbery kisses.
What cruelties to do such a thing to baby Todd!! FIVE laters? 😭😭😭 Todd is so cute listening on the chair. He knows you are not really there, but is glad to hear your voice as he is listening so attentively and thinking 😊❤
I see several people saw it and beat me to mentioning it, but Dad got a slow blink at the end of the video, right after Dad said, "Dad love you Buddy." So although Todd is mad, he still shows that he loves Dad. ❤
@@beth7935 I just watched it again, and you're right... and I see that now. It was a blink, though I'm not sure you would call it a "slow" blink, but it is there.
I do believe Momma cats can count because they know when one of their kittens are missing and go hunting for the missing one to bring it back to the nest.❤
Todd responded to Dad! When Dad asked Todd a question, Todd gave him a slow blink, indicating in the affirmative. Toddy is Very perceptive and totally tuned into Dad.
Aw, five laters! That's too bad. It's hard to say if he's mad when he doesn't come to the camera. He may just be enjoying his chair. He was listening, he seemed to perk up when noises started to come out of the machine.
I think he does count perfectly whenever Dad tells him how many laters, just doesn’t know the number words for it. Probably wouldn’t be hard to learn numbers for him. What a way to ruin a good comb session, as soon as Dad said “Bye Later…” his tail twitch started, he was like “Woah so many laters, I gotta lay down for this!” Todd Ouch. So mad!
I do believe Momma cats know how to count because they know when a kitten is missing and she leaves the nest and starts calling for her lost kitten, finds her baby and then returns the kitten back to nest.
Todd looks as you say to come closer to the camera as if to say "Will it brush me? Give me cuddles? Play with string thing? Give me extra treats? No? Then tough luck!"
Todd is not happy when Dad has to work outside the home!! He is so cute and adorable 🥰 The attitude of the slow blink is hilarious and sad😢😂. What a personality he has, I love him so much ❤ All the kitties and Mom miss you 😊 Georgia Fan
Love Todd! I love how careful Mr Todd's Dad is to pay attention to Todd's emotional well being. The whole thing about teaching him how to share his anxiety about fireworks, and to be able to comfort him and reassure him, still blows my mind.
Aaahhhhhh... 5 whole laters... poor Todd🙏🏻 I love the talking over cameras. We have pet cams at our house pointed at food / water bowls so we can see our furbabies wherever we have to be. Hope it goes fast!! LOVE YOU TODD❤❤❤
Today was not a good day and all I could think was that I needed a Todd fix to make things better... and there was a video waiting! Even though Todd appeared to be giving Dad the cold shoulder when he talked over the camera, I know he appreciated hearing Dad's voice. Our poor monkeys get hurt feelings so easily, but they get over it pretty quickly. And thankfully, they don't hold a grudge... well, most of them don't 😼
@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks LOL, when life throws you lemons, toss them on the counter and turn on an episode of Todd & Family. Whether it's a new video or I watch a rerun, you and your babies make my day(s). Thank you for all the time and effort you put into sharing these precious moments with us; it is appreciated!!! 😻
I laughed when you took a pleasurable, one-on-one moment to break the bad news to Todd! Nice! Todd was throwing knives at you with his killer stares. Too cute he slow blinked you in spite of his angry feelings. Going to ask St. Francis of Assisi to pray for peace for you and Todd. You are an amazing Cat Man! Todd, Glamour and Paulie are wonderful felines!
Oh, no. That's a lot of laters. ☹️ Todd was so upset during the video call. He's really missing Dad. But I love the slow blink at the end. "I'm mad that you're gone Dad, but I still love you." ❤
We used to get in trouble with our boy whenever we went away. We got the silent treatment when we got back for a little while. He was definitely talking to you with his eyes even though he didn't get out of the chair.
I think Todd understands Dad has to hunt for food for everyone. Dad has a lot of responsibilities and Todd knows Dad would rather be home with him. Todd will give Dad lots of love to make up for the 5 laters when Dad gets home. . Have a safe trip. ❤
Sorry Dad, unfortunately looking at the camera whilst sitting way over on the chair, is the best Todd can offer at this time. Still feeling a bit "spicey"
Can Todd see Dad when Dad talks to Todd while Dad is at work ? If Todd could see Dad on a screen while Dad is talking, maybe Todd would come closer to the camera/screen. Maybe Todd doesn't know where Dad's voice is coming from ? 🤷🏼♀️ Poor Todd. But Todd must know that in order to eat, either Dad must go hunting for food, or Todd would have to go out hunting for food. 😢
He can bit, but we ha e tried a FaceTime and seeing me visibly upsets him. He is okay with my voice but not being there but not seeing me and not being there.
Poor baby! Five days on your first trip is brutal after 6 weeks of having you 24/7! No wonder he is so mad, he thought his dream had come true and you were going to be home all the time now. It must hurt your feelings when he chooses to ignore cuz he's miffed.
He goes all over. He goes upstairs in the evenings because he knows I will talk to him. He wants to hear my voice even though he is not happy about the situation.
@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Oh no, I didn't expect that. Even if the conversation happens with your wife close to him, as per emotional support? That's terrible...
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Yes, I am afraid to talk through the camera to my cats for fear it will confuse and upset them more. I am so glad you have found it acceptable for Todd.
Mom doesn't go upstairs much because it's very difficult for her, and Todd only has buttons upstairs. But he has asked for Mom with the buttons at least once, there's a lovely video of it.
He seems more shut down than usual. Apparently five laters just isn’t gonna fly. It’s difficult when you’re his entire world. He has no one to talk to who understands the buttons. Can mom talk to him with his buttons?
He won't talk to anyone but me and only when I'm there in person. I have tried to get him to answer when I talk to him through the camera, but he won't. Yes, he is taking this trip hard. He had me 24/7 for 6 weeks and then home every evening when I did go back for a week and a half.

5 laters!!! I am feeling the pain already!!
Ouch! Todd not happy.
Omg, that direct stare at the camera is ominous. Dad's going to be in trouble when he is home again. Todd Will Have Words. 😊
Usually, all is forgiven as soon as I step in the door and it's cuddles and slobbery kisses.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks And Todd's slow blink at the end of the video tells me that's what you will get this time too-cuddles and slobbery kisses.
4:12 When Dad says he loves Todd, Todd does a slow blink (so obviously he saying ”love you back”)!❤❤❤🇸🇪
I noticed that too😀
he did, I saw that too!
What cruelties to do such a thing to baby Todd!! FIVE laters? 😭😭😭 Todd is so cute listening on the chair. He knows you are not really there, but is glad to hear your voice as he is listening so attentively and thinking 😊❤
I am starting to get upset too when Dad leaves.. Todd 😢
Sign Todd's petition.
@helenbenjafield7351 😂😂😂
Yes! I hate it and become officially annoyed! #SolidarityWithTodd
Awwwwww ~~~ that slow blink when Dad said Dad love u 🥰 Todd certainly understands ❤
He does ❤
I see several people saw it and beat me to mentioning it, but Dad got a slow blink at the end of the video, right after Dad said, "Dad love you Buddy." So although Todd is mad, he still shows that he loves Dad. ❤
He blinked the 1st time Dad said "love you" as well!
@@beth7935 I just watched it again, and you're right... and I see that now. It was a blink, though I'm not sure you would call it a "slow" blink, but it is there.
Dad: Todd, will you come over to the camera and talk to Dad?
Todd: Best I can do is Slow Blink.
💖😼🐾
Oh the kisses he reaches up for just melts my heart. ❤️🐾💙
Glad you remembered mom. Lol
Todd’s stare is ominous- like …”mad at dad” for not being home. Kitties definitely have feelings and attitudes 😂.
Poor dad, having to go and hunt for food and missing his buddy.
1:16 honestly Dad, I wouldn't be so sure! This is Todd after all. I bet he could learn to count to five, if he can't already
That would be an interesting experiment... Todd might very well learn numbers!
Touch each toe and say later, later....😂
@mardy_s this little piggie went Work outside, 😂
I do believe Momma cats can count because they know when one of their kittens are missing and go hunting for the missing one to bring it back to the nest.❤
He may or may not comprehend "five", but the look on his face indicated that he understood "later later later later later" perfectly well. 😠
Aww, poor Todd. He thought he had you trained to stay home with him. He will be so glad when you get back.
I think Todd was more sad than mad..
OMGOODNESS, thats a lot of laters.😢😢😢😢😢
Todd is devoted to his Dad. 🥰
And vice versa!
Todd responded to Dad! When Dad asked Todd a question, Todd gave him a slow blink, indicating in the affirmative. Toddy is Very perceptive and totally tuned into Dad.
4:19 Awwwwjw…that was soooooo sad. 😢😿 Todd mad Dad not physically there! I think Todd sad more than mad thou. 😿
Aw, five laters! That's too bad. It's hard to say if he's mad when he doesn't come to the camera. He may just be enjoying his chair. He was listening, he seemed to perk up when noises started to come out of the machine.
Todd, so sad, and sulking!! Awww!!! 🌷💕🐈⬛
Can't wait to see the joyful reunion!! Hang in there, Dad!

Yes and they realize instantly if somebody else gets a higher number of treats than they did too. 😂

Todd mad. Dad need to win lottery. Stay home with Todd full time. Todd sad while dad gone.
We all need to get Dad up to 100k subs. It's a promise to Todd. Paws crossed.
5 laters is a long time ❤
I have fallen in love with Todd. ❤
Aaahhhhhh... 5 whole laters... poor Todd🙏🏻 I love the talking over cameras. We have pet cams at our house pointed at food / water bowls so we can see our furbabies wherever we have to be. Hope it goes fast!! LOVE YOU TODD❤❤❤
Thankfully, we were down to three “laters” when Dad talked to Todd on the camera. Dad home three laters, Todd. You can do it! 😻😻😻
Sullen acceptance of later, later, later, later, later.
Todd sad not mad. Underneath anger is hurt.

2:50 You done already? Where are you going? I’m not done yet….❤❤❤🇸🇪
Indeed 👍
The way that Furbaby (Todd) looks at you with such love! 💕🐈⬛🌷
I was expecting Todd to march over to his buttons "Todd mad"' 🤣
That would have made my day! 😂
The blink at the end ❤
Oh, no. That's a lot of laters. ☹️
Todd was so upset during the video call. He's really missing Dad. But I love the slow blink at the end. "I'm mad that you're gone Dad, but I still love you." ❤
Aw! Sorry that he's still mad at you. I hope the mad goes away real soon.
Poor Todd..he knows what's coming😢
Todd is sulking sad he misses you and im sure you miss your fur babies to those slow blinking eyes means he love you back
❤❤❤ the kisses. The later later later 😢
Nothing like a glare from a cat to say i am still angry. You, sir, are in BIIIIIIIIIG trouble when you get home.
lol. Love how mom gets the afterthought love 🤭🤭. Must be difficult leaving them all to go away for work. I hate leaving mine behind when I go away
Lord have merci. The moment he hears bye!
Todd is such a lovely cat.
I wonder does Todd know when Dad is gone he’s the man of the house and has to worry about everyone
Work can be fun, but Dad doesn't want to leave Todd.
Greg, he did the slow blink the both times you said you loved him
Love you Todd!!😘😘
Made my eyes sting 😢
The real food hunting sucks😑 ...nothing like chasing the jingle ball 🐾
He definitely loves dad, but he will be salty for a bit once dad gets back home.❤
Hi Dad and Todd. Poor Todd. Todd will make you pay when you get home. Aw. Todd's melts me. I love how you explain stuff to Todd. Have a safe trip.
Haven’t started watching this one yet but if this is true…..maybe Todd want Dad to “go hunt food” for Todd! Because Todd want more food! 🤣🤣🐈
I’m not sure who this is hardest for you or Todd 😻
Hey, at least you got a slow blink in response.
❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful episode! Thank you! 💜🥰☺️
Have any cats learned counting? Easy enough to model with kibble, one would say. And then confirm with small toys.
Todd loves you so much
Dad, that's too many laters!
Todd is listening, but he is ticked. Not gonna show himself. Poor baby.
Nice! A new video just out!❤❤❤🇸🇪
OMG. That face!!!!!
I love those fluffy pantaloons
Ah love him xx
NOOOOOOO!!! ❤😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We used to get in trouble with our boy whenever we went away. We got the silent treatment when we got back for a little while. He was definitely talking to you with his eyes even though he didn't get out of the chair.
Many of us noticed the slow blink at the end of the video. Todd still loves Dad, even though he's still mad and missing Dad.

No, it does not hurt my feelings, I understand completely. We have a very special bond, and it hurts him when I have to leave.
💕
5 Laters! Could be the 12th of Never. And it wouldn't have been as painful.
Where does he spend his time when you’re away. Is he comfortable downstairs with others? Xxx
He goes all over. He goes upstairs in the evenings because he knows I will talk to him. He wants to hear my voice even though he is not happy about the situation.
Maybe Skype or facetime would help in such cases, the fact he doesn't see you must be tough.
It's worse when he can see me. He gets visibly upset because I'm not there. The disembodied voice is tolerable
@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Oh no, I didn't expect that. Even if the conversation happens with your wife close to him, as per emotional support? That's terrible...

You need a screen at Tod's end. Zoom sort of thing?

@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks He's a sensitive fellow! So you go with what works. Make sense.
Does Todd push any buttons when Dad is traveling? Or does Todd only push the buttons if Dad is in the room?
He only talks to me when I'm present.
Uuuum, where did that painting of Todd come from?
That is actually sand art and was done by one of Todd's viewers.
Todd looks so sad.
When you talk to Todd, is there a screen where he can see you?
No, he gets too upset if he sees me and I'm not there.
@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks 🥺 That's a good reason not to have him see you.
May I ask what you do for a job? Is it like a fifo one?
What dad doea for a living. th-cam.com/video/UyDsFKTlMMs/w-d-xo.html
Todd is stonewalling dad.
Dad needs a new job.
