🕊️ Am here because of your beautiful and thoughtful tribute to our dearest Billi. Thank you so much for that. It was quite a comfort for those of us who have come to adore, her, Kendra and Dad. Thank you. Billi is already so missed... 🕯️ i very much look forward to getting to know that handsome Todd! 🩵☘️🥀
Billi was a true pioneer in cat-human communication. Her interactions with Mom Kendra and Dad were amazing. I know you'll enjoy seeing Todd use his buttons and watching the love between him (and Glamour and Paulie) with their Dad as well! Their Mom makes an occasional appearance as well. I found Billi first, then discovered Todd. Subbed both and had double the fun.
He must wait all day for you to get home. He clearly loves you so much. 😊 It was impressive the way he asked for a toy both Now and Later. And it is so sweet that he is including Paulie in his requests for activities!
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Well that's typical sibling behavior. It took a year for my daughter to stop asking me to take her brother back to the hospital. 😂😊
Todd missed you you've been gone for a long time in his time so he is making up for all the quality time that he missed while you were at work ... even asking you to give attention to Paulie what a thoughtful brother love it !!!
I think dogs blindly love their owners whereas it’s a more deliberate choice with cats, so more special. Just my opinion everyone! Please don’t hate me any dog lovers 😅
Brush Paulie could be interpreted several ways lol. Gotta love Todd and his interaction, loved the back foot play then front paw whirly. thats a bit impressive
Hi Dad Greg. I watched but not posted for a while. I like this croaky quotes of Todd’s, like 3:38 Dad, later laser mouse, now. I just got the feeling and I been wrong before. That he make sure you know, If Dad says later, Todd said now😂
There is also the possibility, that after first thinking about playing Laser Mouse later - Todd thought it over, and decided it would be fun to play with it right away.... - Or, then he thought that it was best both ways. 😀
I have found that if he feels strongly about something, he talks fast. Generally it a negative emotion. The fastest one he has done was when he was very frustrated. I could figure out what he was asking for, and he said Want Dad No just about as fast as you can read it. There was also the time he had a scratch or bite on his back, and he asked me to look at it. I asked him who ouched Todd's back, and he went right to his board quickly and pressed Glamour. Lol.
You have a wonderful soul! I hope all the best things happen for you!!! Why cant everyone be as patient,loving and kind as you are. These videos make me smile on sad days...thank you😊
After Cuddles, Todd presses Dad Later Now Laser-mouse. I don't think he was asking for Laser-mouse both Later and Now, I think he meant he would spend more time or Cuddles with Dad Later, but Now is playtime with Laser-mouse. 😻
He’s so beautiful and intelligent. It’s got to be great fun for you. I’m saying this gently (as a former mom of overweight kitty)…..Please Try to reduce Todd’s food intake slowly. He will be happier when slimmed down a bit and hopefully live longer.
Thank you and we are working on it. They are all on prescription cat food and it is hard to control who eats what. Todd will let everyone eat their fill and go and finish up for them. Lol We are working on it. No offense taken. I'm glad you are here!
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks glad to hear. I get it. Tough when more than 1 kitty. Love watching Todd. My Oliver had passed but I believe his personality would have fit with talking. (Definitely not his brother, Jake, tho). Thanks for the videos.
Todd’s communication is simply fascinating! I get teary-eyed watching your videos. My Elsa is a talker and she lets me know her needs but frustrating too. The device you have would be so helpful for the two of us. Many thanks for your remarkable education tools for Todd and for public display. Todd melts my heart. 💕😺❤️😊
Todd is like, I missed you sooo much today, Dad. I did nothing but nap and dream of what we would do when you got home. What a greeting he has for you! That's so awesome. I'm sitting outside with my little semi-feral kitten/cat Drizzle. He's had a recent growth spurt and is now noticeably taller, but not any thicker/heavier. I bought my indoor "giant" cat Noah and Drizzle some catnip toys today. I've read that about 85% of cats like catnip and 15% do not. But ALL the cats I've ever had loved catnip. So I wondered if Drizzle would like it... And, he does! He was rubbing his face all over the toy... Kicking it with his back feet... rolling around on the ground. I went inside to get my phone to video him playing... and yep, he chose the exact moment I started the video to get up and walk to the fence to groom... Then he lay down in the soft grass in the shade for a cat nap. I guess it is "first cat nip, then cat nap" for Drizzle. 😺
I hoped all three would use the buttons, but only Todd was interested. I did feel if anyone would use them, it would be Todd. He is very expressive even without the buttons.
@user-jo9fp3wg5y Aww, I'm sorry to hear that you are having a bad time. I will say a prayer for you. I'm glad that seeing Todd helps. I'm glad you are here.
If you put an identical button set downstairs, would Todd use them to talk to Mom during the day? I realize that might not be great, given her childcare responsibilities, but I’m curious whether Todd thinks she understands button communication. Does he use them to talk to her when she comes upstairs?
He does not talk to anyone else even if they use the buttons. We do not want buttons downstairs as we would never be able to watch a movie or sleep. Lol.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Interesting! I also find it fascinating how he looks at a number of buttons before deciding. That should be clear he's not just pressing random ones.
They truly are a great aid. Todd and I communicated well before the buttons but this allows him to tell me in more detail. I know when he wanted to play before but not with what toy. I knew when he wanted affection but not if it was pets, cuddles, belly rubs, or kisses, etc.
Hi Todd, it's Puds. You are doing so nicely with training your human. I have successfully trained mine to bring my dinner into the living room so we can watch TV together instead of eating out of a pet bowl in the kitchen. He complains about extra dishes to wash, but training humans takes time and discipline. If all else fails, we can always pee on the couch.
Hi Puds! You are doing well. Keep up the good work. Even though hoomans may have thumbs it can take them a while to learn. Be patient with them. ``Todd
I keep forgetting to ask you. Is Todd the only one that shows any interest in using the buttons or do the others just not use them much?? Todd is very intelligent, not saying the others are not. Maybe not as interested in them as Todd.
Todd is the only one. The other show no interest in them. Remember, we are asking if they want to learn a foreign language, just like people. Most do not want to put the effort into it.
Thanks so much for posting these videos, it is so sweet to see how you interact with your fur babies 😊. I would love to know how you modeled some of the more difficult words on your buttons.
Before and Then are done by telling g him on his button board. Before Todd Play Bird Toy Then Todd Play Jingle Ball. After a while he makes the connection to the words he knows.
Are we sure Todd was being nice with regards to Paulie and brush, or was he low key criticizing Paulie's grooming habits saying he needed a brushing, lol
3:28 Todd was telling you he was done interacting with you and wanted laser mouse. Also PLEASE please mirror his requests with the buttons, add 'now whirly' or 'play whirly' but give him more grammar and other sentences. However, what you're doing is obviously good, Todd's doing so well!
No he said Dad later, laser mousse now. ??? Before that he clearly wants brush, pets and cuddles from Dad….then later more Dad ….probably all the pets Brush and cuddles from Dad he can get. ( now and later)l Clearly wants to make up for you being gone.
I didn’t have to do a whole lot. This shows just how smart this Boi is. As I was setting up his soundboard and adding his first set of buttons (Todd, Play, and Bird Toy) Todd came over to watch me and see what I was doing. I installed the Bird Toy button, his favorite toy, and pressed it. When it said Bird Toy his eyes lit up and got very excited. So I did it again and he reached over and touched the button. This got me very excited and I praised him for touching it, then I did it hard enough to make it speak and grabbed the toy, and started playing. At that point, he knew what they were for. When he was done playing I went to my computer so I could download the footage of him touching his first button. While I was doing that he went back and did it hard enough to make it talk. I was super excited and played with him for just a minute then went downstairs to tell my wife. While I was down there he went back and started hammering the button “Bird Toy Bird To Bird Toy…” The time from installation to the first button push was about 10 minutes (this is NOT typical. After that, until recently he understood most buttons as soon as I add them since most were words he knew. I did have to work with him so he understood the Now, Later, Soon, Ouch, etc. Here is a link to the video of his first button push. ua-cam.com/video/lg0YLnQ3gkc/v-deo.html

These are a lot harder words/concepts to teach. When I added the Now button I added it with the Yes and No buttons. When Todd would ask for his Bird Toy I would go to the soundboard and press “Yes” “Todd” “Play” “Bird Toy” “Now” and then play with him. Animals have a very good sense of time, Todd has Soon and Later buttons. Soon means he will get what he asks for in 15 minutes or less, Later means it will be longer than 15 minutes. We also use multiple presses of a button to indicate a strong feeling, need, or length of time. When I have to leave on a business trip and will be gone all week as I am saying goodbye to him I will say “Dad home later, later, later, later.” So he knows what's going on.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks So it's normal basic converstion you have with him anyway. I have 2 Cats. They both understand what I say to them. As they respond appropriately. Purchasing the Buttons will bring it to the next level. Thank you for your response. Give Todd a treat !
He needs a buddy..I’m Also saying that another cat can sometimes cover momenta that humans rarely can or do….I wasn’t questioning your care or “Village” in that cute kids life..
I have the cameras set to show as much as I am willing. I work at my desk and I also dress upstairs and honestly most of the time I forget about the cameras until I am ready to pull video to upload. These cameras are also part of my home security system so they can be viewed by the monitoring company
“Brush Paulie” “Paulie is scared of the brush” “I know…😈”
😆
Maybe Todd is actually Paulie’s psychologist and is trying exposure therapy to help Pauli get over their fear of the brush!
😂😂😂😂
🕊️ Am here because of your beautiful and thoughtful tribute to our dearest Billi. Thank you so much for that. It was quite a comfort for those of us who have come to adore, her, Kendra and Dad. Thank you. Billi is already so missed... 🕯️
i very much look forward to getting to know that handsome Todd!
🩵☘️🥀
Billi led the way, and she will be deeply missed. Welcome, and I am glad you are here 😊
Yeah we all miss sweet Billi, too. Though I’ll bet her family is missing her even more than we are. 🥹😓
It was wonderful. And yeah, I cried.
Thank you, agree ❤️

😊 thank you
It is so sweet that Todd seemed to want the same nice brushing experience for Paulie as he had himself ❤
I know 😢
Todd was making up for lost time. It's sweet that he asks for attention for his housemates. ❤
Yes, he is considerate of his housemates
I don't know about Todd's training, but yours seems to be coming along well!
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
lol
Lol.
Maybe he thought Paulie was looking a bit haggard and needed some brushing. 😹
Possibly 😄
Todd is a cat but with the buttons he looks like a man who know what he wants. For him and others. Fine dressed and combed😅
😅
Seems like he's got you trained instead of the other way around!
And I'm good with that
He truly cares about Paulie thats for sure
Yes, he has certainly change from his attitude a year ago
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Well that's typical sibling behavior. It took a year for my daughter to stop asking me to take her brother back to the hospital. 😂😊
Dad's schedule..... Now... as soon as you arrive home..... BRUSH/PETS/CUDDLE FOR 20 MINUTES...... everyday. With love from, Todd.
Pretty much, lol 😆
I wonder what Todd would communicate if Dad just did all of those requests without being asked.
So sweet, when your kitty said I love you, it made me cry, so beautiful. I miss my fluffy tiger cat she passed at 17 recently.
I'm sorry for your loss 😢
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Thank you, I ❤️your cats, and Todd is so special ❤️
Todd had so much to tell you and catch up with! 😂 Such a smart and loving little boy. 💖

All animals should have an owner like you!! This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen
Aww, thank you so much
My cat loves Todd’s videos. The only time she notices the TV at all. 😂❤
The connection between you both is so heart melting!
Thank you, we have a very special bond.
Todd missed you you've been gone for a long time in his time so he is making up for all the quality time that he missed while you were at work ... even asking you to give attention to Paulie what a thoughtful brother love it !!!

It really is!

Me too. It is the best thing 😊
Brush Paulie could be interpreted several ways lol. Gotta love Todd and his interaction, loved the back foot play then front paw whirly. thats a bit impressive
Yes it could be, lol. Since Todd has been making such grand gestures for friendship with Paulie I choose to think of it as a nice gesture.
Todd makes plans….for a with everybody!! 😻☮️💜
😊
He is such a beautiful and sweet boy and clearly loves you very much. I love that he wants to include the other kitties in his activities.
He truly is a sweet and loving boy.

The pace and intent of ‘play’ and ‘whirly’ being so fast surprised me. It looked like Todd’s trying to button talk as fast as you do lol

Me befor Todd - 😀
Me after Todd (I exploded from cuteness )-💥
Ah, he missed you so much. He needs extra loving.
He is very affectionate
Seems like Todd is aware of the “ you are neglecting Paulie “ comments on the past videos and is making sure to ask for attention for him. 😂 😜
😄
Oh Todd, u snuggle bug...💜💜💜
He is a very affectionate cat
We know how fast thier brains can work , however super thier senses are compared to us we still have a different concept of being. ❤

That I a possibility 😊
What a beautiful boy cat ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow! That was a very elaborate sentence around 3:50! He's getting really good at this!

I think Todd looked like he was limping slightly on his front right leg, does he get arthritis?
I also thought he was moving a little stiffly. Almost but not quite limping. It looks like he’s favouring one side.
No, he does not have arthritis. Todd has a chronic condition that can affect his balance. You may see him walk a little off, stumble, or trip.
I love watching these videos so much 😊 You and Todd have a great relationship ❤
Thank you. We do have a very special bond.

All Todd knows is that when he stands on a button dad spends time with him.
Thts so cute ❤. Was it hard 2 train him how 2 use tht?
Todd is very smart and understood what the buttons were and could do for him. He started using them 10 minutes after he received them.

That's certainly a possibility
Seriously, how do you get any work done?❤❤❤❤
Who needs more attention, the grandson or Todd? 😉
A better question is who drools more, lol. I will often go to my wife with the shoulder of my shirt wet and ask was I holding the grandbaby or Todd.
what button did you add last?
Todd gets 3 at a time and his last buttons were belly (body part), Help, and Treat

After that, until recently he understood most buttons as soon as I add them since most were words he knew. I did have to work with him so he understood the Now, Later, Soon, Ouch, etc. Here is a link to the video of his first button push. ua-cam.com/video/lg0YLnQ3gkc/v-deo.html
Then there are words like Now, Later and Soon. These are a lot harder words/concepts to teach. When I added the Now button I added it with the Yes and No buttons. When Todd would ask for his Bird Toy I would go to the soundboard and press “Yes” “Todd” “Play” “Bird Toy” “Now” and then play with him. Animals have a very good sense of time, Todd has Soon and Later buttons. Soon means he will get what he asks for in 15 minutes or less, Later means it will be longer than 15 minutes. We also use multiple presses of a button to indicate a strong feeling, need, or length of time. When I have to leave on a business trip and will be gone all week as I am saying goodbye to him I will say “Dad home later, later, later, later.” So he knows what's going on.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks So it's normal basic converstion you have with him anyway. I have 2 Cats. They both understand what I say to them. As they respond appropriately. Purchasing the Buttons will bring it to the next level. Thank you for your response. Give Todd a treat !

I have the cameras set to show as much as I am willing. I work at my desk and I also dress upstairs and honestly most of the time I forget about the cameras until I am ready to pull video to upload. These cameras are also part of my home security system so they can be viewed by the monitoring company
