There is a very famous video of a gorilla who is able to use ASL. His mother was murdered by poachers when he was a baby. He had never talked about it and they hoped he had forgotten but then one day he described the whole thing in ASL. It was gut wrenching to watch. You could feel the permanant scar on his soul. I will never forget that. We constantly underestimate animals and it's so stupid of us.

When he first said "then", I was wondering if he was trying to ask if the fireworks are going to happen AGAIN. I know he understands "before" & "then", but "then" might be the closest word he has available for asking about the future. Using the "hmm?" button would clarify it's a question, but I don't think he tends to use the "hmm?" button much, does he? Maybe if you focus on modeling that button more, he'll use it more to clarify himself better. After watching the whole video, I agree he could've been sequencing events, but my first thought was, maybe he needs an "again" button!

WOW!! That was a cohesive 7 word sentence that definitely made sense in light of the week's events. Todd really is amazing!! 🥰 For anyone who thinks that the cats and dogs using these buttons are just pushing them randomly, why would Todd go around to the other end of the mat to ask for floor time?? If it's just random pushing, it would make sense for him to sit in one spot and just push the buttons in front of him, or walk on the buttons and just press them all. But he thinks very carefully before using a button, and he tries very hard not to step on buttons if he walks across them.

The only thing I’d mention is you should use more of the words on his board when speaking back to him. For example, you told him “Glamour isn’t up here” when you could have used the words he actually knows like “Glamour downstairs”. He might not understand “Glamour isn’t up here” leading to miscommunication. Or when he said “Want Glamour Floor Time” you assumed “want Glamour” was a separate utterance from “floor time”, when really he was specifically wanting floor time with Glamour. I would have said “Glamour downstairs. Dad help Glamour upstairs floortime” then went and got her. I think consistency and repeating only the words he knows and understands back to him when communicating would help take this to the next level. When Glamour finally appeared you did intermittently mention a few of the words on his board such as “Glamour”, but I think you could have been a little clearer, such as: “Todd want glamour floortime before” “glamour upstairs floortime Todd now.“ “Todd happy, hmm?” or something to that effect. You’re doing great though, this has been eye opening. These have been very rewarding to watch.

I communicate with her using hand gestures. They arent dumb. She is very vocal when she talks to me. Common sense goes a long way with all animals. I've always had an easier than time with animals. It's people I struggle to tolerate. Use her words. That's all. This is very cool. Is it expensive?. I'd bet not something a guy like me could afford on fixed income with 5 cats a dog and 2 horses ! They All communicate in their own way. People should connect with their animals and not treat them like possessions to entertain themselves with when convenient and otherwise ignore.

I think he was recapping the week, too. It does match events and make sense. It also fits what we know of both cats and Todd. Cats, in general, like to schedule things. They're really into one thing happened and then another thing happened or is going to happen. Usually I see them scheduling things for the future, but it does make sense that they might recount the past to put things in perspective. But it sort of fits Todd specifically. That time when the jingle ball got crunched and he went upstairs when you got home and sort of seemed to be talking to himself, trying to put what happened in the past in context for himself. I'm glad Todd got rewarded for passing messages. Or just for being a good boy that day. Makes me wonder how specific cat body language is when interpreted by cats.

@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalksShe reminds me of my senior girl, also tortie, who sadly passed this January. She would rarely if ever let the youngster clean her ears etc, often hissing at him as if simply out of principle, but when the youngster was ill, she was nosebooping him etc. As soon as the youngster was healthy again, she would hiss at him again and not let him come near her. She wouldn't share her treats btw but always let the youngster eat all her other food etc. We both miss her dearly.

Watching Todd think about how to say what he wants is fascinating. His sense of the order in which to "say" the words seems to require lots of consideration. It's possible that in the cat world the order in which you communicate ideas is not as important as it in English...

From what I have seen in other talking cats this may be the way they think as many others that use multiple words do it too. I have always said if you think in terms of the way Yoda talks Todd is easy to under stand. Happy No. Morning Now. Etc

This sequence (noise noise noise before then then then ouch then Glamour happy), apparently recounting a series of past events, in the order in which they occurred in the past, is really an important piece of evidence regarding domestic cat cognition. I know most people are just enjoying these videos because they are super interesting and sweet, and so they are!!!, but as a person who studied animal language capabilities in grad school (in fact, this is precisely what I wanted to do, but the tech was not available then), I'm fascinated with what is being documented here.

@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Continuing to think about this sequence, it is interesting that Todd ALMOST said "Todd" before he then said "Glamour." I keep pondering what that might mean. It might mean that he wanted to say how happy he was after Glamour was feeling better, but decided he should indicate Glamour as the focus of the happiness. It's also possible that in some way Todd is identifying with Glamour and this "indecision" is actually reflecting the reality of their bond in some way that is hard to express. Also possible that Todd was actually experiencing Glamour's pain in some way that most humans do not experience others' pain (although some humans do report this). Just layers of ponderings here.

Glad to see Todd communicating his thoughts so clearly. I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch Todd before, because I was a Billi loyalist. 😂 But with Her MADjesty over the rainbow bridge, the algorithm brought me Todd. He’s a sweet boy, and I’m happy to see that Billi wasn’t an anomaly. Anyone who says cats are just pressing buttons at random is completely wrong (I’m looking at you, Jackson!). “Noise Noise Noise Before” absolutely nails the experience of the first week in July in the US! 😂

Welcome, I'm glad you are here! Billi was the best and she and Kendra are the reason Todd and I start with the buttons and we loved her. It was a tremendous loss when she passed and I did not know I get that upset about a cat that was not mine. Yes, I have no doubt Todd was giving me a recap of his week.

I love how all these talking cats prove, that they aren't as egoistic and loner as they are always described. They know what's going on with every living thing in the household. Russel straight up chooses toys to play with for the other kitties. He even went so far, that when Winnie was occupying his spot, he said to his momma that he wants to play laser (Winnies fav toy) to get her out of his spot.
