Okay, imagine a whole bunch of super tiny, fluffy cats!
These little cats need yummy food to eat, right?
And cosy little beds to sleep in.
Maybe even some fun toys to play with!
To get all those things, someone needs to earn the money.
So, some of the grown-up cats go to their tiny cat jobs.
Maybe one tiny cat works at a fish shop.
Another tiny cat might build little cat houses.
When they do their jobs, they get tiny cat money.
Then they can use that money to buy the food and beds.
Your parents are like the grown-up cats!
It takes time to do their jobs.
This money helps buy your food, your home, and your toys!
So, even though you miss them, they are working hard to take care of you, just like the grown-up tiny cats!
