*THIS* Is Why Cats Need Talking Buttons

[@LonDiffenderfer]

I love the way Todd rubs up against Dad after Dad uses the buttons to say, "Todd back ouch, huh?" I think Todd was saying, "I'm really glad that you understand me, Dad." 🥰

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

Possibly 😊

[@rdklkje13]

Yes! I got the impression he was saying something along the lines of “Yes, it did hurt, but that massage really helped - thanks Dad!”

[@squirrelwood8008]

It is always good when, as a cat, you can train your human to understand your demands.

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

It is! 😊

[@MrLargonaut]

This is one of the best practical use cases I can think of in working on animal communication. To have a pet be able to tell you where and how it hurts, with accuracy, is a quantum leap in animal healthcare. I'm also terrified of the prospect of teaching my cats these kinds of buttons, as my mind grapples with the eventuality of explaining to a pet things that might not be fixable.

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

This can be hard at times. I know I am part of a button using group and explaining things like the death of another pet in the house can be hard. The to have the opportunity to try and explain and comfort far outweighs the thought of them suffering without being able to ask or tell you.

[@MrLargonaut]

@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks I believe it. Thanks for walking the frontier on this stuff.

[@randomCHELdad]

@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks That is a concept that I did not think of with these buttons. With Todd sympathizing for Glamour's back, I do wonder if buttons could help them achieve closure with time.

[@Hi98765]

Getting old hurts! That's probably how I would explain it. And tell them I hurt too, but we hurt together and love eachother ❤

[@baronnuuke7821]

The cat doesn't really understand the meaning of the words. He just analyzes action -> reaction and decides based on that. For example, in this video for all we know "back" + "look" means the human will come and pet the cat. The fact that we humans hear something else doesn't mean the cat registers it, more so when the human actually does something different that what the buttons says (he pets instead of looking)

[@DBCuzitis]

I Love these kind of interactions. I always wonder what kind of reaction you get when you go into the veterinarian’s office and tell them Todd has been complaining that his back hurts.

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

I have e been there before when he said his head hurt and we found an issue with his mouth. What made this time so special is he told me another cat in the house, Glamour, that her back was hurting.

[@DBCuzitis]

@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks I saw that video!! He is so special❣️ There is too much skepticism in the world I guess so I wonder how a veterinarian would react to that information. Even though most vets may complain that they can't get feedback from their patients! Lol

[@Catlily5]

​@@DBCuzitisThey do get feedback from their patients. It is just nonverbal feedback!

[@AndrewAHayes]

I have some large fish shaped treats that we call "Fishy Whales" I only have to say "who wants a Fishy Whale" and no matter where my Giuseppe Puss is located in the house he suddenly appears like a rocket, Thats how much he likes his Fishy Whales! Its a pity Glamour doesn't like the treats.

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

Yes, they magically appear when they hear the bag. I think Glamout would like them if she tried them.

[@michelefritchie6198]

I once had a cat who didn't really care for treats. He would take one and eat it when offered, but that was his limit. He was polite about it.

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

I have never know Todd not to be loving. Even when he is not happy about something he is the sweetest. One time he was frustrated and he told me Want Dad No then came over to give me a hug like "I'm sorry you had to hear that, it's okay." Lol

It amazes me that Todd tells Dad when he (or his siblings) hurts. I'm new to your channel and I wish I had known about these buttons when my Lucy Furr was alive. I had her from the day after she was born - her momma was a stray and she wandered into my home and brought her babies, 1 by 1, in as it was mid-October and getting quite cold (I live in central Alberta). As soon as the kittens were allowed by Mom to roam outside of her reach, Lucy became my constant companion and stayed that way for 15 years. She looked at me the way Todd looks at you. I know she loved me but to give them the ability to tell you? Amazing~!!! If I ever get to a point that I can think of having a cat again (it's been 2 years), I am going to try the buttons. Thank you for the videos, for taking care of your furbabies and for showing us it is more than possible to communicate with them. Keep it up, Dad 😊😊

For Todd, having his "Dad" stroke his fur and pay careful Attention to what might hurt is about like a human person taking aspirin - unlikely to hurt, and possibly a Help. (For Glamour, well let us Just Say that she {generally speaking} would have a Bad reaction, to the Exact Same "Treatment.")

[@grahamluther9394]

Hi. What would be amazing, is if Todd told you on behalf of Glamour and Paulie, if something specific was ever wrong with them also, as the feline family branch's spokescat :) Their being indoor kitties, with no predator danger or food hunting priority, we wonder whether this leaves room for developing other skills a bit more. It was interesting to learn from another recent posting that Todd became a different and happier cat once it was known he personally thrived with a lot of extra affection and cuddles and could express himself via the buttons. Never heard of these buttons before but seen way too much intelligence shown since watching your videos to be sceptical now. You are giving Todd the ability to be able to experience the heights of his potential in this incarnation and live his very best life. My wife has to chase a few cats away from our first little garden due to their trying to stalk small birds. She's learnt that alarm the Crows, Magpies, Robin and Blackbird all do, and goes outside to do her part to ensure that when the alarm is sounded, she'll assist and go scare off that darned cat. This happened last week and it all then went quiet for about 10 minutes and then happy little cheeps and tweets all started. Cat definitely gone then. Most homes around us have a cat or dog. We don't, so deem ours to be a safe sanctuary and a birdie jardin for the small and medium birds. So it's especially nice to see your videos of the other side of cats, and Todd's kitty development via the buttons. There are stranger things than dreamt of in our reality, for sure. Thanks for your content!

[@carilariviere505]

There are videos where Todd has asked for a toy for either Paulie or Glamour. There is also one where Todd has an ouch, Dad finds it and Todd told Dad Glamour ouched him. If this was your first viewing of Todd & the gang; it won't be your last!! HA!

What a lovable cat! What breed is Todd?

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

To be honest I don’t know what if any breed Todd is. Todd adopted us (yes, really, if anyone wants to hear that story let me know) from a wonderful no-kill shelter and was about 3 months old when he came home with us. I was told he came from another shelter that called the League because they had cats whose time was almost up and who were about to be euthanized. Todd was part of the group the league rescued from that shelter. The league didn’t have much info on Todd or how he came to be at the first shelter. I have never had a DNA test run on him.

[@Synderai]

Sometimes my cats will catch a toenail in the carpet when stretching, that can be an ouch into the shoulder. Perhaps check his paws?

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

Very true, he seem fine now and told me his back ouch was happy now.

[@kimfleury]

I'm afraid my boys are going to ouch their shoulders the way they leap down from high places! Especially the orange boy, Ginger Ninja. Actually, I think I should change his name to Ginger Sumo Wrestler, if you know what I mean. He was s healthy 10lbs when I brought him inside after he had been hanging around on my windowsills (and spraying through the screens because he was an intact tom). He's FIV+ or I would have released him back to his happy free lifestyle. Now he's inside, never has to fight, and has more food than he needs, so he's chonked up quite a bit. I wouldn't over feed him intentionally, but my other boy was starving when he came in some months before Ginger. He should have been 14lbs but was only 10lbs. Different sized kitties. And after learning that there was always plenty and he didn't have to scarf his food, he became a natural grazer. Only problem is, now that Ginger is here, I have to work to make sure one gets enough and the other doesn't steal his food. I haven't been successful. I try, though. I worry about the extra weight on Ginger because of the FIV especially, but also because of the stress on his joints. He and Ombre were buddies on the streets and Ombre was lonely without him inside, so I want to keep Ginger alive and healthy as long as possible. P.S. editing to add that it took me a while to figure out that Ombre wanted Ginger to move in. Buttons might have helped!

Thank you for rescuing them and giving them a great home!

​@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalksthere's another one that was posted on FB as an escapee, but I can't find the post to track the human. He's been hanging around here, and seemed to be a healthy weight, but I didn't see him for about a week, and not up close for a few weeks. Today he came out from under a bush where he must have gone to try to stay cool. I was coming back from taking the trash to the dumpster. He followed me to my stoop, and I checked him over. He's severely underweight 😭 I wish I could bring him in, too. I'm heartbroken 💔🐾 I gave him water and some kibble, but I'm at my budget limit with the 2 who are here. I'm asking for prayer for him. He's a black and white tuxedo. His human was looking for him, I don't think he's chipped, I just pray that they're reunited, or if she's not able to be found, that he finds a new home. He just wants to live with humans who love him. He's a snuggle bug.

What a wonderful video! How old is Todd and how old was he when he learned how to "talk" to you using the Talking Buttons? I adopted a stray that looked pretty young, but she had kittens. She would come around for food, but not to socialize. She would growl, hiss and keep a safe distance. I decided to sit out, with my back to the food bowl. One day she decided to sniff me, then gradually she allowed me to touch, then pet her. It took a week of constant being there at food time. Though she never brought them around, you could tell she was a nursing mother. When they were weaned, she decided that it was ok to inspect our house I guess, because as I opened the door to go inside, she followed me in like she lived there. She sniffed around and each time she came in she would venture further into the house. We had her spayed and she has been with us for over 1 year now. She follows me EVERYWHERE in the house. I would love to know what she has to say.

You've probably tried this, but sometimes things need trying twice with cats - break off a tiny piece for her? My cat is surprisingly awkward with larger treats even if she wants it. Like those pill pockets, she tried putting it in her mouth and it kept falling out as she manipulated it in her mouth. Even though she had had them before whole. Finally, since the pill was quite small, I was able to break off a tiny bit and mold it around the tiny pill. We're talking a third of the pill pocket.

He says it all the time. He also shows it in the way he gazes at me, the way he always wants to cuddle me and touch my face with his paw

Poor Todd needs a massage

I hope you have a cuddles button too

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

I do. Cuddles, pets, belly rubs, and kisses

Maybe he’s in cahoots with the vet and he’s getting a percentage of the appointment charges

Catnip for each visit

My late Burmese, Cora, was very constipated at one stage. She had some verbal speech ability but obviously did not know to say that word! So I saw she was poorly by the way she was acting, and I said “are you all right?” She said “no”. I said “what’s wrong, are you in pain?” “Yes”. I then said that when I was in pain (I have IBS and ulcers) I take CBD pills. Cora said “want! Now!” I did not have them to hand. So we called in someone who was helping to look after the other cats that belonged to a friend who was away that week, and gave Cora coconut oil, which sorted her constipation. She lived a further 6 months before dying peacefully from heart failure, aged 20. I was SO fortunate to have had her. 😿❤️

Add a SPANK HARD button You will be amazed.

I'm a firm believer that cats should keep their thoughts to themselves. Otherwise they're going to take over the world! 😂😂

I think Todd faked a backache to get some love ups.

Todd likes Daddy's attention

[@sayrocks11]

He just want cuddles

[@glasswingbutterfly]

I watched this video after the second one on this topic... so won't comment again on Mr. Todd... Glamour is sooo sweet. I love her soft but adamant voice.. Dad, I know what I like and don't like... No fishy treat! And turns her back to prove her point! Adorable.

Thank you

[@Cloxxki]

He usually stretches approaching his buttons, right? But, with one paw retracted???

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

Generally not with just one. He did stretch out the left, which was what was tender. I am still watching him, and he has been acting normal all day and not complaining or sating he ouches when asked.

[@deborahcavel-greant6155]

Wonderful! I got the buttons for our cats but we are so thoroughly twisted around their paws there was *nothing* left for them to tell us. LOL Todd is such a beautiful boy and so intelligent! I love the interaction between the two of you.

Thank you
