- New bunny did not live up to the hype 😂
Billi is a female domestic shorthair, she's 13 years old, her favorite word is mad.
Inspiration for learning to “speak” with buttons from Hunger4Words (check her out on IG).

Want to learn more about the research study Billi and many other animals are in? Check it out here:
www.theycantalk.org/research - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Behavioral scientists: “cats probably don’t remember you when you leave”
Billi: “where bunny? Where bunny? Want bunny. Bunny. Want. Where?!?!”
Do behavioural scientists really think that? My cat meows when one of us leaves until she manages to summon us back. But a lot of animals get separation anxiety, it’s pretty well known, I don’t think animal scientists are suggesting cats forget about people when they’re not there.
@@smudgerat9624 I think they are referring to how cat or animal intelligence is underestimated.
@@moonxshakti I agree animal intelligence is underestimated, but animal behavioural scientists are the ones behind the buttons right? Billi’s part of an experiment on cat behaviour.
It’s a bit of a strawman to say behavioural scientists are denying this obvious thing.
@@smudgerat9624 some do. Some have decided that animals are simple minded. I find it hard to believe how a person could not perceive their intelligence, but I do think it is deeper than we realize.
@@smudgerat9624 No, I agree with you, it's a strawman or an overexaggeration. I have never heard of an actual animal behaviorist saying cats can't REMEMBER things, lol. Opinions on animal intelligence -- or what even constitutes 'inteligence' at all -- vary, but animals being able to remember stuff is very much not in dispute. Science and research is cool, guys!
Inspired by Billie, I finally taught my cat to use the buttons. And I'm working from home. She expresses her wishes very strong (can't answered yet), has a "mad" button, but as soon as something is not according to her wishes, she starts with "ouch"
Best of luck! I'm sure it will be amazing.
That sounds kind of threatening 😅 good luck!
Oh her use of ouch is interesting!
Good luck with the button thing. Give your kitty scritches from this internet stranger.
@@spacecat3198 yeah, everything is ouch in her life. Litter box, food, water, outside, cuddle etc. :))) She's very rarely mad, unlike Billi 😁
Cats certainly have different personalities, so makes sense they use language differently. 😄
Gotta say, if I was waiting so long for a stuffed animal full of drugs and got one that squealed at me instead, I'd take it a LOT worse than she did.
This honestly took me out😭🤣😭
Haha…she is more mature than us then
hahahahahahahaha😂🤣😂
Billi's face when you said she probably doesn't understand mail was so funny😂
This
I mean.. surely she's seen mail be carried in before? Explain it to her...😅😅 She's just like "of course I don't, not unless you tell me"🤭 Lol
Ok what's the deal with this and everyone checking there mail outside when I was out ... just now? is this a algorithm?
I know right.
To be fair, a cat understanding the mail is probably like a human understanding particle physics. You need to be smart to begin with, and also have years of experience and training. Its incredible though how the cat realized that her owner said mail was too hard for her to understand.
Poor Billi - she waited so long for Bunny and got some weird squeaky thing instead! I'm surprised she didn't hit the "noise" button right away :D
She was too freaked out I think 😂
@@BilliSpeaks Dad should have presented the new bunny, sharing the tougher side of parenting...
@@BilliSpeaks I found bunny!
I googled "cat toy blue catnip bunny", and found it at chewy . Will try to put link on next comment in case removed. Or google that phrase..
@@moonxshakti I hope Kendra sees your comment and gets one! We can't let Billi down! : )
@@moonxshakti bumping this so Kendra sees!
Oh my gods 🤣 she's not letting this go until bunny is here, so much for "cats don't have object permanence"
Hey, my Kahli hides things in my bed and she remembers it’s there and goes back to fetch it when she wants to play.
Perhaps the supposed lack of object permanence is more like "I don't see it AND I don't care, therefore it doesn't exist/I don't feel like complying with the experiment"
@@spooniesarah getting cats to cooperate with experiments is indeed the real challenge
Cats have object permanence for sure, if they care about the object. I have a game with my cat where I throw the snack and he runs and catches it. Once snack fell behind the desk, I took it later, but my cat didn't see that and he still searched for that snack 2 days later
@@spooniesarah This is a HUGE problem with animal intelligence/cognition tests in general. We expect animals to react in a certain way and if they don't, we assume they don't understand or are unintelligent.
The famous 'mirror test' (putting a mark on the animal and seeing if they try to rub it off when they see themselves in a mirror), for instance, has run into this issue. How do we know if the animal can't tell that the mirror image is themselves, or if the animal simply doesn't CARE about it? For example, most elephants won't pass the mirror test, but how many elephants actually care enough about some mark on their body that they'd try to rub it off?
Basically, when looking at animal intelligence, it's important to consider that not all animals behave like people, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's because they're too 'dumb'' to.
Billie is like a kid who lost their favorite toy and her mom tried to replace it.
Haha
My Sassycat loves fresh catnip. In winter (a long UP winter), she gets dried. It is such a disappointing substitute.
@@christinebicanic751 lmao! ...I understood most of what you said there, I'm sure yer sassy cat is very deserving of all the pampering though Christine haha.
I thought that’s what happening 🤦♀️🤦♀️
"No Bunny, no dad either... What is this!? Am I living in a prison?!" - Billi, probably
The look of betrayal; "that's not bunny!"
I thought the same 😂
“What have they done to you!!!”
"What the hell am I supposedto do with that?! I want Bunny not this squeaking abomination!"
Omg that's so hilarious, she remembered when the bunny was gonna come, and then it was a weird new one omg I'm crying laughing, poor billi 😂
Dad is going to fix everything! Mom is no help at all. 😂😂😂😂
She’s Like, ‘what’s this shit? Oh, ok…I guess.’
ua-cam.com/video/lA_XtwHLtxk/v-deo.html
@A H me too but you gotta keep watching these videos lol!!! There's one where Billi's mom is listening to the Hamilton soundtrack and she's like "ouch, noise, later!" 😂😂😂
I also feel sorry for this cat. The owner talks to her like she's a constant burden. I think she just doesn't like cats or take their feelings seriously.
I love how she stuck to "want", I thought the "wait for it" was going to be "mad", but she really does use her words! Maybe bunny could have surgery to have its squeker removed and catnip stuffed in, instead...
That’s a great idea!
I thought that too!!
well, Dad /did/ threaten to take out the toy's viscera; maybe Dad would be willing to do the surgery after all!
I thought that she would press out mad also. I have performed surgery on toys for my Chai, so good idea for Billi's bunny.
@@silpheedTandy eviscerate means to disembowel
"Thanks" "I" "Hate" "It"
Billy: “WANT!” She’s so sassy pushing those buttons! It was cracking me up! And poor Billi waited and waited but the Bunny did not deliver! I’m surprised she didn’t press the mad button! Haha She’s so adorable.
HOLY HOLY!!! I can proudly say that I have the two HOTTEST women on this planet as MY GIRLFRIENDS! I am the unprettiest UA-camr ever, but they love me for what's inside! Thanks for listening ki
@@AxxLAfriku Hey. Don't you have ANYTHING to do in chermany? Adults are not impressed by juvenile antics. Go play, now.
@@mariantreber8055 I'm pretty sure that guy uses bots because I've seen him spamming these types of comments in tons of videos by now. He's just trying to promote his terrible channel (don't bother looking, it's just the most juvenile clickbait about him totally having tWo HoT gIrLfRiEnDz).
I report him for spamming every time I see him and I hope others do as well so that UA-cam might ban him eventually.
@@CylindricalWhistle I've seen his juvenile channel. He's just a teen idiot. Needs a real hobby. In a few years he'll be pretty embarrassed. 😅 Happy new year!
@@mariantreber8055 Agreed, and happy New Year to you too!
1:10 "It probably makes no sense to you."
Billi: *looks up* Excuse me. I know what a mail is- I just haven't met one yet.
Billi: I’m pretty sure dad is a male
@@imadinowithoutaname 😂😂😂😂
my cat's favorite toy is a hedgehog. iI have 10 back up hedgehogs in the cupboard 🤣
😹😹😹
@@BilliSpeaks You may need to make sure they all smell like the original hedgehog...
You should place different hedgehogs into different places but not so your cat ever sees more than one at the same time. Mess with its head royally, thinking hedgehogs can teleport
You need to introduce new hedgehog while there is a shred of old hedgehog left.
My cat has a koala bear- my husband once brought home 6 in a pack from Australia for her and no gifts for us!😂
She is such a "Daddy's Girl" 😆😆😆
LOL a little triangulation goes a long way
but girls usually hated their dad tho
Billie is determined to correct the idea that only dogs use their buttons to make sentences. She seems to be using more words to express herself now. I am so sorry that the new Bunny did not live up to expectations. Maybe she will make friends with it slowly.
With Billi it’s like it’s working in stages, like somehow she has these “Aha” moments.
Oh wait, I can say more with these button things. Hmm… 🤔
And the famous dog is named Bunny… Just a Coincidence!?
Clicking random buttons isn't "expressing", you guys really have absurd imagination to everything the cat pressed. 🤦🏽♂️
@@dx5784 I mean, it's not really random though. If you think that's random, then maybe we should consider you the same way you consider this cat.
Maybe if @dx watches ALL the button videos on youtube… As i apparently have… a different conclusion can be drawn. My dog ABSOLUTELY presses buttons knowing their meaning. (At least knowing what HIS meaning for them is. I’m the one who has to learn) They are not random presses. With or without buttons… If you don’t think dogs try to teach us their language, you have simply never had a dog as intelligent as my dog. It obviously bothers him that his humans are so slow to understand natural canine communication. I have watched him try desperately to teach me his word for “water” and “food” and “outside”. What is the difference in his own language and a button? Dogs have been ringing bells to be let outside for decades.
Seems like dad needs to get on Billi's schedule! 🤣
😹😹😹
Billi didn’t need the mad button to convey her sense of betrayal by being presented with an imposter bunny. She’s hysterical. I agree that if the new bunny has some elective surgery to remove the squeaky and have a pouch inserted for catnip Billi would be more receptive. This is not only not her bunny, but it makes weird high pitched noises? That has to put it over the edge for her.
All those wants. Old Billi would have been smashing mad.
Oh, poor baby! All that waiting and it's the *wrong* bunny. 😾
Not everything she had hoped for, eh?
To explain mail, I would have suggested "A box will come to the house." Being a cat, I have to think "boxes" is the main thing she notices about the mail.
Or just have a mail button and casually tap it any time you bring in any mail.
Then they can sort it - “mail Dad, mail Mom, mail home, mail Billie.”
"Outside" or "bye" or something similar maybe to work with the buttons they have now.
My cat knows the mailman. She used to growl at him. But she's finally realized that he brings her presents from grandma.
Billi doesn't know those words. Gotta use the words she know.
"BUNNY OUTSIDE. BUNNY LATER."
@@janeeyre1990 well, she clearly understands more words than she has buttons for, so it's difficult to say. But I figure "box" and "house" are both things of great importance to a cat, so that increases the chances she'll have picked up those words.
Aww baby girl she’s like “ok then mom since you can’t fulfill my my need for bunny I want dad because he can fix anything and mom is hopeless with getting me what I want”😂 Omg I’m dying here the look of absolute horror/disgust on her face is legendary I have a very strong feeling if Billi had access to a much stronger word than mad she’d definitely be cussing “you CANT be serious Mother what sort of cretin is this” now here comes the ultimate zero star review this might just be the straw that breaks Billi’s back.😭😹😿😹🙈
Ha ha zero star review.
Great summary!!
Why do I read this in British voice
Since watching Billi I’ve been more precise and consistent with what I say to my cat. I’ve always thought cats just understand your tone and a few words but they seem to know a lot more than they’re commonly given credit for
Animals are way smarter than we give them credit for. People who think otherwise are just closed minded. I mean, just look at who created all the animals! God is good all the time ☺️☺️☺️
@@tonyajordan2702 I think most of those people don't WANT to believe that animals are that smart. Because if they are, that means we as humans haven't been treating them right. And they don't want to feel guilt for that.
We had a cat that actually vocalized "rural" for squirrel, when a chipmunk came up to a screen near her. She "said" it twice in a row. I was amazed!
Billi's just like #NotMyBunny xD
Omg this is my kitty, her zoom-zoom died and I sent it back for an exchange and it's taking ages. She'll keep walking up to me with big eyes and making this meow that doesn't fit for any of her other requests, just like "well where is it? :c "
Billi youre changing the landscape for cats... Now shes waiting for packages to arrive :o
Next up, A-meow-zon.
My cat had an electronic squeak toy just like that one. Until she thought it would be a good idea to dunk it in a bowl of salsa.
I really don't know what was going through her little head that day.
Omg 😂😂😂
Flavour. Rabbit is a strange tasting meat, a bit of salsa can do wonders.
I mean that does sound like a feline thing to do.
Cats don't get electronic.
My cats love to put toy mice in the food dish, like they are giving back. Or that's where food goes.
Billi at new bunny: ⚫👄⚫ *IMPOSTER!*
Billi knows humans are staff. That's why she can't figure out why this time she's not getting what she wants when she wants it, not Bunny OR Dad. Love it!
It's so sweet how much Billi loves her dad
I love the teeny little grunt Billie lets out before she bolts 😄
my cat does that too. it’s basically a built in “mad” button
@@shaolinotter So does mine! She also has this indignant little sigh, it's hilarious 😂
That face at the end. 😂
You see what I have to put up with? You SEE?
“Love you… later” literally the most cat thing to say
That girl knows what she wants and she wants it NOW!
Those chirping toys are highly annoying. Thankfully, my cat hates the noise & was much happier with the toy after I removed the chirper. Now it's one of his favorites. Hope you can get the chirper out of Bunny so Billi can fully love it.
My cats are ok with them but they love bells or anything jingly.
@@juliebraden6911 I have one cat who loves crinkle stuff. He used to destroy packing paper and a cardboard box as his play place, more or less. When we went to get new kitty toys, I saw some crinkly ones and gambled on a guess and he loved it. His favorite was a specific bird with a chirper, and he tears them up too quickly for his own good. He loves string and feathers too, mostly cause I like to play with him with those when I can. Tease him by tickling his nose or feet with the feathers of it or what have you, he honestly loves it, the little booger.
It is amazing how she knows how to get your attention if one button doesnt work..after the "help" didnt work, she tried "love you", then "want" multiple times.
Billy is one intelligent and persistent lady..
Billi is a very persistent gal!
She is like "That is not Bunny. I want Bunny" What happened to her old Bunny?
I feel like this situation called for an "unacceptable" button lol
Mom: Bunny later
Billi: Unacceptable!
Mom: Dad is sleeping
Billi: Unacceptable!
Billie is like *_That's not MY bunny_*
The new toy probably smells funny and must be properly "Christened" I guess! And wow, mail takes forever for eternal toddler cats.
Billi: "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."
I love when you giggle at her cuteness, as I can totally relate I burst out with laughter at my cats cleverness and she KNOWS what gets a laugh and does things for comedic reasons. Thank- You for being interactive with Billie too, I know life gets busy and we have to clean cook and spend time with others but I think you have proven with your videos, that our pets really just want interaction and ‘pets’ . 💕
Sometimes Billi doesn't even need "Mad", she just exudes it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 When she bolted down the hall... classic!
Billi: [waves paw] this is not the bunny I’m looking for
Billi: you can go about your business
Also Billi: move along
Billi: "My cuteness can have a strong influence on the weak minded".
"BUNNY??? You call that BUNNY??? I want MY bunny!"
Poor Queen Billie. It's ok Mom & Dad, you tried...
Im not a cat person but Billy always steals my heart every time i watch her videos. She's adorable but confusing sometimes. Love you Billi.
You're a cat person.
@@juliebraden6911 No im a dog person, but billi always steals my heart and makes me laugh every time i watch her videos.
@@deevacookseycooksey9662 what makes you think you can only be one?
Billi really missing her Bunny is breaking my heart!! 🥺😭
That's right Billy we need General milley and The Joint Chiefs of Staff on the phone
Billi: want want...want...
Narration" wait for it....
Me: she's gonna say mad, I know it!
Billi: want
The suspense made it funnier
It’s the little things in life. Her curiosity about her new bunny is so cute. 🥰
Well, you did kinda lie to Billi. Bunny did not come in the mail. New Bunny came in the mail. Not what Billi expected or Wanted. Hope Billi and New Bunny find a way to a working relationship.
I think she’ll get used to New Bunny. She seems curious about the squeaks.
I bought my cat one of the “zoom zooms” and she was VERY skeptical, and I was so disappointed, but within 10 minutes she was chasing that wand like nothing else. Now, when it turns off she gives me the “mad face.”
She's went bunny crazy she's lost all control unfortunately Kelly.
I'm with Dad on that... the New Bunny needs de-squeaked
"Bunny outside now, home later" would have made sense for her possibly. But I see that the new Bunny didn't make sense for her anyway 🤣 she must have been quite confused.
I was thinking that a "trip" button might be useful, for human, and non-human people traveling to and from Billi's current location.
she didn't want dad...she wanted her bunny to hurry up...then it's a whole different bunny....she's like...😑 u had one job 🤣🤣🤣
I'm taking bets that squeaker is removed before Twelfth Night.
Hilarious!! Tempting as it might be to pre-emptively silence the new Bunny, maybe Billi will complain about it making noise. That would be amazing. (Her sitting there casually having a conversation at the beginning of the video was also amazing, but using the buttons to talk about the new Bunny making noise would be amazing in a way we haven't seen before.) 🗨🐇
It would also give Dad the perfect reason to de-squeak New Bunny
She did lol At the end she hit the "noise" button😅
Billie knows what she wants
Oh man my cat absolutely hates squeakers with a passion. we actually ended up using them as a deterrent for some things
Adventures of Billy and Bunny 🐱🐰
"Where's Dad?! Dad will get Bunny for me..."
I love the way she looks at mom after inspecting the bunny. Like "are you sure?" 😂
It is not easy being Billi🤣🤣❤
Oh my, she is so funny. Her personality can truly be appreciated with this communication technique.
You can't have everything in life Billi! 😂🤣😂
😂 I thought for sure when you said " wait for it," she'd hit MAD! 😂
I suggest surgery to remove the offending squeaker ASAP before it drives everybody MADD!!!
🤣😂🤣 Besides, as soon as you get the new bunny to Billi's liking the old one will show up again. Happy New Year!
That is *NOT* Bunny. Not cool, Mom.
I think "want" is the new "mad"!
The fact that he wants to communicate make the hole thing incredibly amazing.
I swear you are as entertaining as Billi
She expected and wanted her old bunny back. The shape and “name” of this one don’t register; they mean nothing to her. She doesn’t understand why her familiar bunny disappeared and isn’t coming back.
She didn't need a button to get her point across on how she felt about that alleged bunny 🤣
Poor Billi. She waited this long and she gets a rank imitation of Bunny. The suffering she endures… 😉
Every time I watch this channel I see the progress in Billie’s eyes. The degree her entire demeanor has changed is amazing.
Billi can be such a Karen and I love it. She immediately demanded to speak with the manager (Dad). Kitty Karen to the max.
This was awesome!!! Thank you SO much for the long video!!! The more Billi the better.
Amazint to me that when Billi presses a button, she looks right at you and expects a reaction. Very mind blowing!
Oh gosh, poor Billi. 😝
I don’t know which of her interactions is my favorite. Now we’re giving cats the ability to communicate their frustrations verbally we’re never going to hear the end of it.
I can imagine the reactions of the behavioral scientists. I mean, aside from the science they must be enjoying all this, they can’t all be serious robots.
Imagine one day if cats and dogs can leave online reviews or the humans explaining on their behalf.
“Toy arrived, cat told me she’s not impressed and this is the wrong toy, see this video for further details”.
Video transcript:
Billi: Mad
This is excellent
The face at the end 😂
I love how you can see her thinking!
I don’t see ask her question much really ... with hmm? Inquisitively like this.. Adorable 😍
Something I didn’t notice on this channel for almost a year is that Billie never meows and that is because she doesn’t have to. That’s amazing. What you are doing is incredible.
Nice long video. Billi is too 🤣🤣. Happy New Year!!!
what bunny did she normally have? maybe we can find it for you?
It’s coming just had really slow shipping! So I ordered this one and clearly that wasn’t satisfactory 😹
I envisioned the whole of the known world sending you the ‘correct’ bunny in sympathy!!! 😂
@@thecalicoheart7946 Soon she will be flooded by a tsunami of bunnies in the mail! 😁👍
@@BilliSpeaks I could perform “surgery” on the offending squeaky & put it all back together in tip top shape! Now, would you like to also discuss dyeing it the proper preferred Billi color? 😜🥸😹
This is the most satisfying 5 minute video of the year. Happy New Year!
It's not the right bunny?!🙀🙀🙀
I wonder if Billi could understand traveling. For when they order stuff online. So they could say bunny traveling when something will take a few days to arrive
billi's like that is NOT bunny. THAT is an imposter 😤
oh lordie, you better hope the mail service doesn't delay Bunny's delivery!
edit (after watchiing more of the video) : huzzah!!
i remember in the 90s, when i would send a coupon from teh back of my cereal box in order to receive some special prize in the mail, i had to wait SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS for delievery! it was a treat to finally have it arrive in the mail. i wonder if Billi feels the same way!
My cats favorite toy bear "kicker" has now changed to a crinkled stiff one he does not like. Still on the hunt for the old version! 😂😭
If I need to find my car all I have to say is, "smudge do you want to play with your ball." 10 seconds later he shows up and meows like "did you say ball?"
i’m pretty sure someone already mentioned it here, but i think we all need a WANT button. i’m going to carry mine with me wherever i go.
Awww poor Billi! That squeaker really scared her. I hope you find a copy of the real bunny or that she grows to like this new bunny. She will never love it as she did the original bunny but she may care for it, deeply.
So smart & so cute!!!❤🐱
'if you help me now, i'll love you later ! promise !!"
Great opportunity for a "new" button. This isn't her Bunny. Her bunny went bye. This is technically "new bunny." It might help explain since she totally knows the difference.
My cat woke from a dead sleep when the bunny started squeaking 😂
I missed what happened to original bunny? I thought it had gotten left and was being mailed back to Billi - but apparently this is an entirely different Bunny toy. I feel for Billi - it’s not the same and she knows it!
I think she left it behind during one of their stops between Kendra's mom's house and their final stop at their new home, and since Kendra has no idea where she lost it she ordered a new bunny which obviously didn't impress Billi. 😂
