I think she might also be using "come" as "follow" when she wants you to follow her physically or follow where she is directing her attention, so "come look" is "follow me and look (at the outside/leaves)"
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear mel
@@MeriLizzie Probably. I mean, cats have specific meows for things, so I don't see how she *isn't* trying (with Great patience) to teacher her human how to speak cat.
Shes so intelligent that I sometimes tend to forget that she is a cat after all and might want to roll in the leaves and chase birds once in a while. Thats exactly want she wanted, but she didnt have the word for "doing cat things". I have been watching her progress for quite some time now and Ive noticed something about her. She usually doesnt spam buttons, She takes her time and carefully gives inputs. But when she doesnt have a button for a word, the panic button smash comes in. "look, look, look, come, watch"
I am in awe of this channel. I started thinking it was a very cute hoax. Then moved to the very real idea that all cats are perceptive but it's just Billi who is better at making "happy coincidences" with her buttons. Now I'm convinced she puts careful consideration into what she's trying to say. And what she says isn't limited to immediate needs like food or pets. Simply amazing!
I think it's somewhere in between. Hey i need a word i don't have, it's like this word look at this word and think of something like it. Think of this word outside the box.
Guess I’m not the only one kissing cat on the head lol I have two… moma & her 7mon old son! What a pair she’s not 2 yet so there’s lots of playing, I swear they play leap frog outside & inside lol
That was amazing. Billi doing what she can to get outside to investigate that very intriguing leaf pile. I had a calico cat many years ago that used to hide in piles of autumn leaves because they camouflaged her at the bottom of trees. She would then wait patiently until a squirrel got too close and POUNCE!! Fortunately, she only made contact once. Scared all three of us. But, the leaf stalking continued. I was surprised that Billi wasn't MAD that you cut her bird stalking..err I mean bird watching short. Perhaps she thinks she can get back outside another time to "look at the leaves" and try again to rid the world of those dangerous flying dinosaurs.
She is such a sweet girl. The weather here is terrible right now, and my cats, so used to going outside when I get home, just don't understand why I have made the weather bad and why I am not taking them out. Clearly, I am a god with feet of clay.
🤣🤣 We just can't make everything happen the way they want it! I've decided to get a set of buttons for my dog---4 months of trying to explain the car is broken (totaled in a crash) and other cars aren't my car so no car rides right now. Today, he went up to a truck around the block and wanted to ride in it! Poor guy!
One year for a whole year my old boy decided he was an outdoor cat. He forgot there was an indoors at all. I literally sat outside with him every night on the couch under cover and wrapped him in blankets and kept him dry. I had the capacity, and it was the best time hanging out together. He passed away last year at the age of 20, and I’m grateful for every moment we shared. He was my best little buddy. Billi reminds me of him in a way, I think it’s the intelligence and communication. We didn’t have buttons, but he knew I knew what he was saying. It is a special bond to have that level of trust and understanding. RIP Little Cat 💗🐈⬛
Billi stands so still while you put her harness on. A couple of my cats go outside on leash and they are great once we get started. But they can be wiggle monsters getting them into their gear. Maybe they are too excited to stand still. Billi's harness seems very easy on/off, too
I love how she's come so far that now, when she can't get across what she's trying to say, instead of pushing "mad" she just goes and hunches with her back to you for a minute, tail going, and centers herself before coming back and trying again. Is that from today? Why do I have 2 feet of snow outside, and there are leaves to pounce in elsewhere? :)
@@deborahbarry8458 Southern states do have fall - ish. In Texas we sometimes get "fall" right before Christmas. Though unfortunately there aren't many pretty red trees near where I live. Mostly just brown 😞
The way she protested to stay outside 😂 Love that she gets outside time whenever she wants ❤🙂 I hope to one day walk my cats outside with a harness, it would make them super happy
Heheh, my girl does the same thing when I bring her inside after a walk. She hates coming back in, so she'll grumble and growl about it. Sometimes when it's too cold for her to go out, I'll just hold her outside the screen door, so she can at least look out for a while. But if I indulger her too long, she'll start growling and hissing, angry that I'm not _actually_ letting her outside. If Sadako had the choice, she'd be a little ragamuffin homeless cat. But she doesn't, so the poor thing has to endure warmth and shelter. XD
@zistorbar It's your choice, but I feel like having indoor/outdoor cats creates too much risk, in the long term. Their lifespan will typically be halved. They're more exposed to infectious disease from other cats, most notably distemper and feline AIDS. They are also likely to suffer injury at some point. Territorial disputes and animal attacks happen all too often. In my opinion, there are other more compromising solutions that will help your cats stay safe, and also remain stimulated. You could take your cats out for walks, like I do. They go out at least three times a day, and once a night, unless the weather is bad. I prefer this option, because we get to explore together as a bonding exercise. Honestly, my girl could probably go without her harness, and would just shadow beside me. But I don't want her killing songbirds, she's just too good at it! XD Also, her leash can extend a lot. Three lengths worth of elastic cord, so she has the option to wander under supervision. Another idea is to build a "cattio." Just an enclosed area outside, attached to the house so they can come and go. Sort of like a chicken run, but a little more durable, and with more climbing/perching areas. If I had the time and money, I'd love to build one myself. It would be a nice addition to my garden, and the veggies would attract those yummy insects she likes. In any case, it's your decision how to keep your cats. I just wish them well. ^_^
@zistorbar I can understand that to an extent. My first cat was allowed one litter before she was spayed, so she got to have the experience of motherhood once. I think that's fair, so long as the kittens are all adopted and accounted for. The biggest problem here is how often queens go into heat. They can pump out five litters a year, which is terrible for cat overpopulation. In some places, congestion is so bad that they have no choice but to euthanize every animal they catch. And, to answer your question, females are spayed at four months here, through the Humane Society. Which is also when they're ready to be adopted, fully vaccinated, microchipped and socialized. But if you go through a breeder, it's a lot easier to get an intact juvenile with a healthy record. However, it's a flat adoption price, so you'll have to pay for the vaccines and licensing yourself. At least, that was my experience from my roommate getting a bred cat.
@zistorbar what you are claiming flies in the face of everything known scientifically and medically for cats. If, and it is a big IF, the mother cat raised her kittens and nursed them to full adulthood that might push back the regular heat a few months. But 2 to 3 years? Bull. Yes 5 heats that result in pregnancy and live kittens is rare. The numbers are used mostly as a "what if" to raise awareness to leaving your pets unaltered. To get 5 heats, pregnancies and kittens a year out of one cat the kittens have to be either stillborn or taken from her immediately or within the first week. It will trigger another heat cycle, do that repeatedly and viola 5 in a year. Normally the Queen will devote 4 to 7 months to raising her kittens till they self wean or she gets tired of them and kick them out. If it is early enough she will have 2 heats/pregnancies in a year but that is on the rare side. Normally Queens will have a heat once a year and spend the rest of the year raising them.
@zistorbar yes you do claim. You wrote it here but did not say "as I remember" or "when I was a child" just that it was from your small village. Looking back at your comment I guess that could have been a misspelling of childhood, I thought it was the name of the village. Cats do not control their population. Period! Left to themselves they will have a litter as often as biologically possible. Either 5 a year or 1 one a year. If a queen is not having a heat a year then either she has been spayed or she is sick. The only high horse I am on is that I am sick of A) people spreading misinformation when there is millions of gigabytes of actual true information free for the finding on the internet. And B) people that have pets who clearly do not know how to care for those animals when there is gigabytes of free information on the internet on how to care for them and how they actually function. Look up the channel Kitten Lady to learn more about feral cats and kittens and how often they actually have heats. Look up the channel Helpful Vancouver Vet to learn how to care for your cat, dog or other pet. Grow up, your pets need you to be responsible.
@zistorbar AH you "taking care" of her during the heat is not the same thing as not having a heat for 2 to 3 years. You are contradicting yourself. Please educate yourself
Good morning Billi and mummy from the united aran Emirates. 👋 After my morning prayers I watch Billi’s videos. Awww Billi is absolutely beautiful in natural light outside.
I am so glad that Billi has a full life, people who care for her and a way to express herself more than almost any other cat! You don't know the joy that your videos bring to my heart!
My God, I'm starting to think in button-ese! Zero patience required. I got it right off the bat. Its not michief...its a love of communication with you.
One of your best videos so far. It shows part of your confusion and the patience you have to have, the learning process, of both of you, her desires, her mannerisms, her enjoyment of outside. I really enjoyed this video!
It's so amazing seeing how the cat knows what they are pressing and even look for the humans reaction. Cats really are such simple and loving creatures I really want to try this when I can get a cat. I miss my cats I've always connected with them so deeply.
What a cutie Billie is - u 2 are such fun! U both have so much patience. Communicating with each other this way look like its well worth the effort : )
Our cat is 16. Years ago when we got a dog and was training the dog commands like sit, lay, no, etc, Mimi picked up on it. So she’ll do those commands. However, she verbally says, mom, momma and no. My mom gets a kick out of how smart she is. I’m going to send her this video now! Then she’ll know it’s not just Mimi. If we give them the time to learn, they will! She knows some sign language and understands kiss and will kiss me.
Weather or other outside words might be a good next step for concepts to teach her! Like LEAF, TREE, RAIN, SNOW, maybe even HOT and COLD, though that might be difficult since it's a little bit subjective, especially between species that don't have the same internal body temperature.
I have been trying to teach my three cats cold and warm. We don’t have buttons but they understand a lot of words and respond to them. But when they want to go in the garage and it’s cold outside I want them to understand that they are not gonna like it and are gonna wanna come in two seconds later.
Looks like 'leaf ' could be useful. And 'rain' -- I think Mom uses the 'wet' button for rainy weather, but 'wet' is also used if Billi gets wet. I can see 'rain' being useful when the 'outside' she wanted is wet and therefore not pleasant to go out in.
My Florida dogs never knew leaves until I moved north. Now I keep captive leaf piles on the deck and their fenced in area to play and do their doggy business in. Izzy the cat couldn’t be more disinterested, except for the birds.
Aww, Billi waiting to scare you! Not in a “hunting” sense, but in a playful one! It makes me wonder if cats are able to sense humor and if they play jokes on us
I wish the buttons had been available when my Siamese rescue, Sun, was alive. He was the single most intelligent cat I've ever shared my life with, and he had a huge vocabulary. He was very good at communicating even without buttons and I can only imagine how much better his live would have been if he had had access to talking buttons. He was diabetic and he would bring me to his testing spot (where his glucometer and notebook with all his blood glucose readings was) and "ask" me to test his blood glucose levels anytime he didn't feel well. His levels were always too high when he did that, and he was letting me know that he needed me to fix it. He was so smart!
I think she might also be using "come" as "follow" when she wants you to follow her physically or follow where she is directing her attention, so "come look" is "follow me and look (at the outside/leaves)"
I think she may also use "look" to mean, "watch me as I demonstrate." So she said, "Look" and then went and stared at the door. LOL
MAKES-SENSE (0BVIUSLY)
In some languages, "come", "go", "travel", "follow", and "lead", are all the same word.
Being able to communicate verbally has made Billi the happiest cat!
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear mel

I disagree that it is "panic smashing". I think she pushes buttons multiple times for emphasis.

@@cautiouslycynical9786 Humans truly underestimate other creatures

My God, I'm starting to think in button-ese! Zero patience required. I got it right off the bat. Its not michief...its a love of communication with you.
I bet Billie could spend an afternoon sitting in the leaves in the dappled sun.
Aww, it was nice to see Billi on a little adventure to the Outside.
She's totally enjoyed being outside ☺
awww she looks gorgeous in the sun and the leaves
Her little protesting sounds are SO cute
The loaf of misunderstoodness
When I pick up my cat Stache to take him inside after our leash walk, I get hissed at!
Bring a pile of leaves inside for her without her knowing/seeing you do it and film her reaction when she sees them inside 🍁🍂🍃🍁🍂 🐈
I love the whole putting on harness and kiss on top of the head. So precious! ❤️
She gets a kiss every time her harness gets put on!
3:05 the way the sunlight hits her fur is AMAZING
I was totally waiting for "mad all-done walk" when you went back upstairs, lol.
I caught myself saying “hmm?” today and sounding like Billi’s button
You're such a good Mom, Kendra, and Billie always looks so different in natural lighting, much lighter in color, thank you for sharing!
Me: Wish cats talk
Billi: yes
03:40
“We gotta go inside...”
“Heck no!”
“No?..”
“Nope!.”
She’s soo beautiful in the sunlight. Supermodel!
You now need to fill a box with leaves for her. 😺
I just love that you put her in a harness. So much better and safer for everyone and everything.
I was waiting for her to press Mad when she came inside 😂
such a sweet and happy kitty. I love how Billi sits to get her jacket on before you all go outside

U both have so much patience. Communicating with
each other this way look like its well worth the effort : )
Billi looks beautiful in the sunlight
Always having a mug of coffee in your hand is the most relatable thing.
That’s exceptional communication ! Once outside, I believe you are “reading” her whiskers also.
Our cat is 16. Years ago when we got a dog and was training the dog commands like sit, lay, no, etc, Mimi picked up on it. So she’ll do those commands. However, she verbally says, mom, momma and no. My mom gets a kick out of how smart she is. I’m going to send her this video now! Then she’ll know it’s not just Mimi. If we give them the time to learn, they will! She knows some sign language and understands kiss and will kiss me.
Outdoors is like TV for Bili. Dogs like to romp and follow trails, cats like to find a nice place to sit or lay and watch the world.
"We gotta go inside"
"What's this 'we' business?"
My cat Miss Kitty is just like this. Shes intelligent, loyal, and 100 million years old. If I gave her this she'd write Shakespeare in a week.
Billi is beautiful. The sun on her fur looks so warm on a cold day.
This is the cutest darn thing I’ve ever seen.
It’s so great that you take her on walks rather than just letting her outside on her own, I have never understood people who do that.
I GET SO MUCH ENJOYMENT OUT OF THESE VIDEOS THAT I AM GOING TO TRY THESE
Last year a scooped leaves into a box to take in for my cats. It was about half full. Fights ensued.
That can mean only one thing! Each cat gets their own box of leaves! 😸
When billie’s happy the whole world is too!
It's obvious that Billi just wanted another treat.
A billi protest noise is a wonderful thing
I am absolutely fascinated by this cat.
Billi is such a great cat. I hope you have many more wonderful years with her.
When you brought her in, I thought for sure this would garner a MAD response. I was pleasantly surprised 😲
Billie is wonderful. Thanks for putting them out here for everyone to enjoy 😊
You are such a wonderful and loving pet owner. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. ♥️🇨🇦♥️. Take care.
Billi Knows Best about wanting to stay outside on a golden warm day!
Omg! Everyone who ever thought only dogs got excited about walks was wrong!
Such a sweet cat. I love watching Billi.
Just video of Billi in sunlight outside makes me so happy. I feel like I could watch an hour of that alone.
I've never seen anything like this before. This is amazing how this cat communicates.
Weather or other outside words might be a good next step for concepts to teach her! Like LEAF, TREE, RAIN, SNOW, maybe even HOT and COLD, though that might be difficult since it's a little bit subjective, especially between species that don't have the same internal body temperature.
I have been trying to teach my three cats cold and warm. We don’t have buttons but they understand a lot of words and respond to them. But when they want to go in the garage and it’s cold outside I want them to understand that they are not gonna like it and are gonna wanna come in two seconds later.
Um don't think Billi can learn snow in Florida... But who knows this year there has been some really freaky snow dumps.
@@nikkiewhite476 Ah, didn't realize they moved to Florida, but yeah.
Looks like 'leaf ' could be useful. And 'rain' -- I think Mom uses the 'wet' button for rainy weather, but 'wet' is also used if Billi gets wet. I can see 'rain' being useful when the 'outside' she wanted is wet and therefore not pleasant to go out in.
My Florida dogs never knew leaves until I moved north. Now I keep captive leaf piles on the deck and their fenced in area to play and do their doggy business in. Izzy the cat couldn’t be more disinterested, except for the birds.
Aww, Billi waiting to scare you! Not in a “hunting” sense, but in a playful one! It makes me wonder if cats are able to sense humor and if they play jokes on us
She is so cute and smart. Love watching her. ❤️
Ya add the “leaf” button. I think if you put “leaves” you or dad might think someone or something “leaves”
No patience required, we love these longer vids!
It’s amazing how many words a cat can learn.
I had almost forgotten Billy is a normal cat before watching her do a normal cat thing like this.
Billi needs a catio!
I wish the buttons had been available when my Siamese rescue, Sun, was alive. He was the single most intelligent cat I've ever shared my life with, and he had a huge vocabulary. He was very good at communicating even without buttons and I can only imagine how much better his live would have been if he had had access to talking buttons. He was diabetic and he would bring me to his testing spot (where his glucometer and notebook with all his blood glucose readings was) and "ask" me to test his blood glucose levels anytime he didn't feel well. His levels were always too high when he did that, and he was letting me know that he needed me to fix it. He was so smart!
It's so trippy seeing your house from another angle
