First of all, we ask you to excuse our human : you know that Claire is multitasking and multi-jobs, but she had a peak of activities in all domains last week and this one. We were not able a lot to visit your blogs and to leave comments thus, because she left every time with the computer. Back to calm planned from Saturday.
Then, some readers asked us if it was normal to receive every time four e-mails for a new article. Our blog is multilingual, we assure ourself the translations, but the zone of subscription is the same whatever is the language. This is bound to the plug-ins which we use to manage a blog in several languages (WPML) and to manage the subscriptions (JetPack), and in the financial aspect which makes that we manage all the technical part too. The sidebar of our blog stays the same in all the languages, and JetPack thus sends a notification every time we publish an article, whatever is the language.
We publish in four languages at the same time so that e-mails arrive grouped and are easier for you to sort out. We didn’t find yet technical solution so that each receives only the article in his favorite language and not the others.
We thus ask you to excuse us for this small inconvenience : we are not spammers !
Y of course yous not no spammers. Weez just delete da ones dat awe in languages weez not unnewstand. Weez nevew fawt it wuz a purrawlem so don’t let anypawdy bodder yous ’bout it. Like yous sed they all come at da same time so is easy nuff to just paw da one yous can wead. As we only speak cat and english, weez always wead this one. Altho’ weez did wead da fwench one dat time when weez wuz twyin’ to waych da video. Anyways, weez luv yous bloggy and weez all know ’bout bein’ busy and not bein’ able to visit evewypawdy and havin’ to catch up. Hav a pawsum weekend.

XOXO

We just read the english version of your blog – we can understand why you do it as Europeans don’t all speak the same language unlike those in the USA.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
I get super busy too sometimes and am not always able to visit all of my friends everyday, sadly. And some times are worse than others… I can think of one solution to your dilemma, but I think it would be some work. I know with MailChimp, you can create different subscription lists, thus allowing your readers to sign up for a different mailing list.
Thank you for the tip, Ann ! We don’t know MailChimp, we’ll have a look ! Purrs
We certainly don’t mind the four emails at all. We just delete the ones we don’t read. We really enjoy your blog with the two great cats. Take care.
It’s okay that we get your blog in all the languages. The mom deletes the ones not in English. No biggie!
I know what you mean about humans. TW is just plain lazy or she gets on FB and forgets about visiting.
pixie & zorro…no need to apologize; we know all to well how busy the people get…or seem to be…or tell us they are…. !!! And we think itz WAY KEWL you offer your blog in 4 languages, good work 🙂
a happee herring & halibut kinda week oh end two all ♥
If you were spammers, you’d be the best kind! We’d take four kinds of kitties any day over some of the annoying and embarrassing junk we get via email. Have a good weekend! Purrs…
Believe us, we SO understand! Not only has our computer been totally deaded for THREE weeks at home, our mom has come home exhausted from work – and had the nerve to CRASH and not BLOG. HARUMPF.
No worries on our end – we can sympathize!
My human is busy too – in fact at the end of the month she is out of town for a whole week! But I will make sure she prepares properly so that I don’t have any downtime. I hope!!
Pixie, you are an excellent spokes cat as you explained everything quite well. We just look for the e-mail in English, delete the other three and then head here to check out what is happening. No problems! XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Ignore those complainers. Some humans are just never happy. I love pawing the delete button! We are really busy right now with the packing and all, so we are being a little sporadic with our visiting as well.
I know you aren’t spammers and I just deleted the languages I couldn’t understand….no problem. Of course, it was a waste of your time to send them to us.
(((Shoko)))
I’ve been travelling and not able to visit much either so no worries 🙂
No problem with that, Pixie. We pick one post that we understand and throw away the others. No big deal! Some people always have to complain about something I suppose…sigh… Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 <3
We don’t mind getting the 4 emails but when it furst happened we were a bit purrplexed. MOL.
We also have not been able to visit as much as we want. Your blog seems to get us most of the time due to the four emails so… it may be a bit of a blessing.
You are so cute when you talk to us Pixie

First thing – Pixie, that photo of you is ADORABLE!!! Love it. Second thing – we don’t mind the four emails. It is very easy to sort through and delete the ones in languages we don’t understand. No need for you to worry about it! Third thing – we have been behind on visiting and commenting too, so we completely understand! We can never seem to catch up. 🙂
We love you and we sure understand! We also understand about being too busy to comment sometimes too, after Dad’s accident things are even crazier than usual! Love, Cody
