Normality at last. :)

The cat's pissed off with him though.

Good news. I'm happy to hear it.

And the cat will get over it. ;)

God bless, Peter.

I couldn't be happier for you or your Dad.

Great news, Peter. (I hope my relief does not seem superfluous, as I never knew your dad was in the hospital in the first place.)

And the cat'll get over it. :)

Glad to hear that your Dad is out of the hospital! Hope he is doing well!

The cat will get over itself! Just playing a little hard to get! ;)

Glad to hear your dad's out of the hospital!

Cats, well as long as it isn't clawing or biting your Dad, it can be ignored. After all, isn't ignoring humans one of cat's most important objectives?

If all else fails there's always the give food treats route. Even cats have things they cannot resist. :)

Hope this means a great Xmas and New Year season

BTW, in my experience, a pissed off cat sending you to Coventry is a GOOD sign: means cat knows every thing's OK.

Cheers,

why would a cat want to send you to Coventry? Is that a bad place or just a "stay as far away from me as feasible" place. UKisms....

yes, its a pommy term.

see http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/sent-to-coventry.html for a concise explanation of the origins of this phrase.

Both the union and the military explanation are the best example of what's meant: shunned would be the next best example, but as 'shunning' doesn't even come close to the guilt, scorn and derision a cat can heap upon you after an absence, its never been explained in so 'weak' a term. LOL

Lara, thanks for the explanation. :D I've always wondered about the history of that phrase!
