Todd's Top 10 2024 Moments No. 6 - Todd Invents His Own Toys

[@sawdust2556]

KZbin star, cross species communication genius, toy inventor… we all agree Todd is amazing, and you are their loving cat daddy/ toy wizard!!❤

[@ellenfields-sischka7441]

I think the toy manufactures should pay close attention to this consultant😊

[@inlaterdays]

Todd knows what he wants! His ingenuity amazes me. 😊

[@cacatr4495]

He's a very bright fellow! creative, full of thought, having great toy-ideas. :)

[@paulmurgatroyd6372]

It's the cat version of making your own entertainment!

[@nalasgrandma262]

Todd is keeping Dad on his toes inventing more interesting toys.

[@rejanedesevigne]

You should start your own cat toy line, Todd's Toys! 😊 He's so smart 🐈

[@kittycat-f2j]

Thanks Dad and genius Todd. I like the “theme” of Todd the inventor; just amazing 😻 Does anyone else want Dad to patent Todd’s inventions, so he could stay home every day?

[@Terri_MacKay]

My cats are always looking for new toys...I'd buy them all!! Each one could come with a picture of Todd, and the original toy he created, along with the story of how he created it. Maybe even a link to the video where he invented the toy.

[@ladawn603]

​@@Terri_MacKay Awesome idea ❤❤

[@cacatr4495]

I seriously think that Todd's caretaker should go into the cat-toy business, promoting the head of R & D > Todd, with Todd's photo on the tag as earlier suggested by another commenter. To neglect it, is to reject an opportunity that Todd has put into their hands. The toys already developed + an inexpensive toy manufacturer + marketing, most especially focused on the fact that Todd uses the FP buttons, and that communicating through them was how they came to be. They might be wise to see if FP might want to partner on the project, considering that the promotion would aid their business, and considering that they already have a manufacturer and the business know-how.

[@Terri_MacKay]

@@cacatr4495 That's a great idea!! A collab with FP. A line of toys created by a pet who used their buttons to tell his Dad about the toys he had thought of.

[@cacatr4495]

@ What better toys for cats than those invented by one?! Think of all those FP customers, and new ones! It could make a grand difference to FP's business, and benefit all of those customers!

Love Dad's "Let's make this happen" attitude 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@beentheredonethat3624]

If Todd had his own line of interchangeable toys for cats, Todd Toys, I would buy them for my cats because they are what real cats want. "Asked for by name!". You're welcome!

[@MeidasMJ]

I would too…. It’s obviously what cats want.. if it’s invented by a cat, you know it’s purrfect. There are some interactive toys like the bird on a string toy that have bells on them.. maybe he likes the noise and just having a jingling bird toy is what he wants… but I have a feeling he wants it to roll too..

[@dallastrujillo7286]

17:00 And it’s like Todd is just enjoying watching Glamour play! He’s amazing. Such a wise young old soul. ♥️♥️♥️

That puts so much context into how my late kitty would joyfully join me when i opened the sewing drawer because sometimes i would craft her mousies and other toys out of buttons, string and fabric.

[@cacatr4495]

How sweet a picture. :)

[@funky6942]

@@cacatr4495 She would actually love toys made by me more than storebought. She would carry around the mousie i sew for her in her mouth and play with it constantly.

[@lesliejenifer920]

It was really sweet seeing Todd let Glamour have a turn on the butterfly whirly. Almost like he's thinking "Yeah, that's right! I invented that!" 😂 He is just so stinkin' adorable! And smart too! And it's also so nice to see how you never seem to get frustrated that he's asking for something new while you're trying to work. Many dads wouldn't be so willing to be interrupted so many times each day without losing their cool. Your human kids & grandkids hit the jackpot with you! It's SO nice to watch!

That cat is amazing! You might just need to start a cat toy line... call it Todd's Toys.

[@atarigame5]

Can you imagine a corporate meeting at a toy company and someone saying: well, we need a new cat toy, so let’s ask the cats what they would like! 😂

[@kittycat-f2j]

😹

[@megnotes7908]

With Todd around, this idea could become a reality. He invents, tests, and approves new toys and collaborates with hoomans (Dad, for now) to get them built. If Todd doesn’t want to run his own cat toy company, he could market himself as a creative consultant, free-lancing short- or long-term jobs. The boy’s a genius!

[@jab7429]

Tod seems to like that Glamour likes the toy too!

[@debm8470]

He was immediately interested when you made his requested invention and zilch with individual components. No mistaking what he was asking for. So smart!

[@robynbellamy7548]

Intelligent little cat. And I have never seen Glamour so active before. ❤

[@carrielowe2965]

When my cat Chewie Butter was alive, I realized he was kinda bored with his toys. He also liked to play fetch. I was in a store one day and they had a child's fishing rod on clearance for $5. Chewie loved it because I could cast it really far down the hallway and I could put different toys on it. Chewie would go over and put his paw on the fishing rod when he wanted to play. Then I would lay out the different toys so he could pick what he wanted to play with. I can only imagine what things he would have said or asked me if we had had a communication board like you and Todd do. Even without it Chewie figured out ways to let me know what he wanted or needed. He was a super smart boy like your Sweet Todd.

[@cacatr4495]

Superb intelligence, wonderful!

[@megnotes7908]

Sorry for the loss of your Chewie. Seems like he and Todd were cut from the same cloth - smart, creative, and great communicators!

[@lisajahn6839]

[@jonmurray2350]

I like to think that Todd is extra proud of inventing the Butterfly-whirly. Glamour being so enthusiastic & Todd having previously suggested toys for Glamour.

[@chrismurray2237]

Have you tried putting his jingle ball onto a kids toy fishing pole and throwing it down the hall like that so you can pull it back real quick before he gets it so he has to chase it back? He likes to run after it and that might give him more chase time if he has to turn around and chase it back before he can get it at the end of the hall….. 😊

Oh my goodness! There is a small fishing pole on Amazon that would be perfect to attach his toys to and fun for you to cast it down the way!

[@MariahKleinschmit]

He is a good inventer

[@dallastrujillo7286]

5:16 Wow! Way to go Dad for understanding Todd! Peacock feather on bird string toy! Right on!

[@karmelicanke]

Great use for the kind gifts of jingle balls that viewers have sent, attach one of those to a new feather and wand, or tiny feather to jingle ball, no wand, your homemade bird toy. Todd is now head of research and development in the toy department. Dad is Chief Officer of Production ! 😊😼❤

[@milliealford8968]

Just figure it out dad! ❤ So funny 😂 need to try one of those fishing rod toys for cats.

[@HolyMoly2300]

Sounds like he wants various dangly things on the bird toy: a peacock feather, jingle ball, etc. Someone should create a “rod” (like the one on bird toy) that can be used to hold various objects. Sort of like earrings on which you can hang different charms. You could advertise it as “cat invented” toy. I would totally buy something like that-and I don’t even have a cat.

[@kittycat-f2j]

I bought a package of cat wands with 3 different things on the end. Temu.

[@MarieCuriosity]

Todd is amazing. What if you put a much longer string on a wand, then wrapped the string around the jingle ball, so you could "cast" the jingle ball down the hall like you were fly fishing?

[@Baldevi]

Todd is incredibly intelligent, not to depreciate Feline Intelligence, but you can SEE him thinking, plotting what to say so Dad can make the combo he's imagined for himself. And, Imagination is a thing only Intelligence can bring to birth. Creativity too, a dull mind is not very creative [in Animal Kind] which again shows just how intelligent Todd is. Intelligent is not the same as Smart or Clever. Todd is truly an amazing Cat!

[@patrickgrochowy]

Todd's an inventor! Or a maker who couldn't make :-( Wonderful that you followed *his* instinct to interpret the button-presses right. Maybe introduce the word "combine" to him?

[@tuppybash625]

My kitty girl ,Sterling, loves watching Tod. She likes string Thing and Bird toy too.❤

[@FroggyBarnett]

Get one of those fishing line type cat toys with detachable toys, and rig up one of the jingle balls to put on it. You can throw it out like a fishing line, and reel it back in for Todd to chase

[@khill6510]

So, so smart! ❤

[@kikihammond5326]

Todd is a genius. Clearly he has studied aerodynamics. I agree he needs a line of toys. What cat doesn't like to chase a butterfly? Yet, I've never seen a butterfly bird toy. I have a boy who spent his kitten hood studying hydrology. He'd lay on top of his water fountain, try to get up on toilets, still comes to watch us shower, he loves water movement. Yet, give him a toy fish in water, and he wants none of it.

[@sjp35productions6]

Dad, I think you’re missing some serious marketing opportunities here. Something like a Ronco Pocket Fisherman and attach a Jingle Ball to the end and cast away!

[@PlannerMemaw]

Maybe Todd should be a consultant for a cat toy manufacturer

[@jammybilly]

Amazing! I accept now that he is pressing buttons with his back feet!!! Our pets may be cleverer than we give them credit for.

[@cacatr4495]

greatly.

[@Snookscat]

It’s so fun to see. I have to go, halfway through today, but I wonder if Todd combines toys *other than with bird toy. It’s notable that bird toy always requires Daddy to play with him, even more than with fetch. 💕😊

[@megnotes7908]

Close up, so we can see lattice pattern, bell, and colors clearly - and next to a ruler, for a correct diameter. Thanks!!!

[@Baldevi]

We were given a "Weasel" rolling toy, with a raccoon tail-like doodad on a ball that rolled around erratically. Kitty pretered to bat at the tail when the ball was not I'm motion. When we turned it on, he watched excitedly, but did not try to play with it. Then, my Hubby came home with a little fishing reel a coworker gave him to repair and do whatever with... We pulled off the end of the pole, tied the tail onto the line and would toss it then reel it back, and Kitty went INSANE with joy playing with it, chasing it, gutting the tail, fighting or coming back with the reeling of the line... These "Kids" fishing poles are sold as cat toys, but you can get an actual child learning rod and reel for less cost. Such a rig can have different toys and things connected at the end easily and switched out easier than tying them to the Bird Toy's string, and maybe seek shorter Peacock Feathers to tie to the rod's line for if Todd asks for it. Todd and likely even Paulie will LOVE the rod and reel set up, guaranteed. Seek one with a loop to guide the line on the reel's half of the rod, or you cannot really toss it at all.

[@crzycatlady65]

You should get that ball with a tail that rolls in all directions. I'd bet he'd love it.

[@Terri_MacKay]

I found your channel and subscribed this year, and the toy invention videos were ones that I missed. It's so great to see them now. I wonder if learning to use the buttons has made Todd more creative, and given him the ability to think in a way he couldn't before the buttons. Or, do all cats think like Todd, and are frustrated because they can't express themselves to us??

[@cacatr4495]

I think that dogs, cats and horses (animals that are in relationship with people) become frustrated because of inability to communicate with those of us that are unable to read them accurately. It's now easy for me to understand how daft we must be in their eyes, because most of us are. Many of them, including those in the wild, must be convinced that people are dumb (and dangerous, untrustworthy, wicked). Rather than being self-impressed and conceited, we need to humble ourselves. Mankind has *not been smart when it comes to understanding the creatures.

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

That is a great question and one I have often pondered.

[@WeThePeople321n]

You know you could put the jingle ball & bird toy on some sort of fishing pole line and throw the jingle ball/bird toy combo down the hallway then you could bring it back to you by reeling it back in. Don’t know if that might work for you though.

[@RLSCS]

Now he’s just testing your creativity to see what new toys you can make, lol.

The amount of time Todd must spend thinking of things amazes me. I'm quite sure my girls have never thought more than, "I wish Mom would get up and feed me." And "When is Mom gonna put more litter in the box?"

[@cacatr4495]

I think they think far more than we know, and about more subjects than we realize. I think we've greatly underestimated their inner lives, and that they have richer, fuller, more insightful and understanding thoughts than we've previously imagined. We know they read people, that they have insights about problem-people (generally before we do), and that they instantly identify those who are kind and stable in behavior.

How old was Todd when he was introduced to the buttons? I have an 8 month old Siamese kitten who is VERY smart. He started playing fetch on his own at 4 months old, likes puzzle toys, and likes to watch Cat TV shows. He frequently has the zoomies. Is he too young to start learning language?

[@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks]

He was 5 years old and has been doing it for two and a half years now. The cat that inspired me to try this was 12 when she started and made it to 70+ words. I know of a cat who started young and was at almost 29 words when she turned 1 year old.
