      She was a special cat, adventurous and hungry😆, which motivated her to learn buttons, my cat could never have done that. She helped me understand my cat better, so I am grateful for that. Her beautiful, expressive green eyes will not be forgotten. Thanks for this sweet video.

      @@donnaparks5815 I think one of my "past" cats could've learned these buttons, (like my calicos), but probably not the cat I have now, he's an orange tabby and to rambunctious and "flighty" to teach anything to. He's only 4 so maybe when he gets older

I just hope the BilliSpeaks stuff stays up forever, since I can kinda visit her at least, and not so, except for still photos w/ Spotsworth, Frederic, Milo, Demon, and Tiernan. I hope you are planning on introing another feline (Guppy, maybe?) to the buttons, once the grieving is... more manageable. (It's never really over, it just gets so you can eventually stand it ;) )

    I remember the first Billie video I watched. She kept pressing the buttons "water" "noise" and "outside" in different combinations until Kendra finally went to the window and confirmed that it was raining! I was absolutely amazed by her intelligence and perseverance! It was raining the other day and my most vocal cat kept meowing and going to the patio door until I followed him and acknowledged the rain. Without thinking I told him "Yes, water, noise, outside. It's raining."
    Thanks Kendra and Dad for sharing Her MADjesty with us. May she RIP. 😢

    It wasn't just the 'mad' button that made me laugh, it was her use of the imperative 'now' button. She had so much character. I've treated my cats differently since watching your videos; using much clearer & simpler language, more studying of body language to pick up their points of view, accepting that they also have the right to an opinion or a demand. So thank you Billie for your efforts to teach us how to communicate with cats.

So many People think that cat/animals are insensitive / dumb brain who just think of eat/drink/sleep and sometimes fight. But even if personnally i've never thought of animals in this way, i also never thought that cat was THAT smart ! So, What you're doing is apply everything that billy teached us, and that mean, i think, à lot

She is the most wonderfully expressive cat who knows her mind and has the tools to express it to us humans. What a gift for her and for all of us to share in yours and her world. Thank you so much. I cannot imagine the grief you must be feeling. But what a treasure of memories you have created so we can all share in her journey.

They later became so important when they had to move houses due to my friend breaking up with her boyfriend. Thanks to Billi, my friend and her cat had more opportunites to communicate this life change for the both of them, and she was able to help her cat in this transition. Billi inspired and helped so many lives ❤ I am forever greatfull that you chose to share her with us.

    What a remarkable and wonderful cat. Losing a pet is a truly unique form of grief and it always hurts far more than you can anticipate. You gave Billi a very good life and she will always be with you. A cat's love is eternal, even after they pass on. I'm always a huge baby about anything with cats, the emotions affect me very intensely, so I can't help but cry for Billi. It's important to just let yourself sob as much as you need to while also remembering and celebrating her life.
    Billi's use of the buttons to speak and her big personality were so insightful and she warmed the hearts of many people. Thank you for sharing her with the world. She will be greatly missed.

    Billi looked so much like my Honeybun and I lost her to kidney failure a few months before you lost your Billi. Billi’s incredible connection to you, Kendra, as well as the other loves of her live ( Dad , Squirrel, Auntie and Grandma) showed us all how absolutely fabulous animals are. My UA-cam experience is not the same without you all. We continue to grieve with you. What a precious little cat she was- and remains always. 😢❤ Love to you all and thank you for sharing her so generously with us all. 🤗 😊

    I'll be honest, I used this channel to help overcome my own grief of losing my first cat. Billi being so grouchy reminded me so much of him and I'm heartbroken to see her pass too, but their presence never leaves us. "'Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all." Thank you so, so much for sharing her with us. ❤

    I stopped watching as my cat is starting to age and the fear of losing her is killing me. She is starting to have seizures when she sleeps, at least that's what we think it is, and affording the vet bill will be a hard ask. She is almost 12 and I adopted her in 2021, a month after my mom passed away. Catte was so shy but loved the scritches. It took her a while to warm up to me but whenever she is in a pickle, mom comes to pick her up and whisk her to safety. She never let me pick her up before. So this, this video, while painful to watch is beautifully done. I want to share it with some friends of mine but their cat passed a couple months ago and I am not sure they could handle it. The tribute is just too beautiful.

    My thoughts are with you and 'Dad', and everyone else we met on the channel. Remember- better times collide with now, and better times are coming still. Not my own words, just part of a song that i feel fits the occasion.
