Hi hon, could you sometime tell us what all of the buttons say? My curiosity is about to kill me. Meow
Oh I love his face😂🙏🏻❤ He's like dad don't get in my basket please😳… I have 4 cats, and 2 I'm fostering right now. I love how you recognize each of their different personalities and preferences. All totally different especially Todd…I always knew my cats understood me, Todd just proves how smart our feline families actually are❤❤❤ Todd gives me alot of happy, so thank him for me!!
Todd stepped right into that basket lesson. 👍😺🧺
Dad: Looks like you are moving around better!
Cats are so smart. I taught my dog some sign language and the cats picked it up just from watching. Side note: if you teach your animals some signs you can communicate when they get old and lose hearing.
Re: fireworks fear, friends got this feline comfort plug-in thingy for their cats and it really calmed them over the 4th.
So, when the cats are downstairs, do they watch birds and squirrels out the window?
Since we only see upstairs, I am floating in speculation.
Adding new words is exciting. I'm sure Todd will be like chatty kathy more and more😆Thanks Dad for sharing💖
What is Todd's least and most used words?
1. Thank you for the new basket camera. I always wondered how that was set up, and what was going on when Todd and/or Glamour was/were over there, as well as wanting a view of that area when you were playing jingle ball with Todd while sitting in your computer chair.
2. So glad to see that you're feeling better, as you showed us by being able to stand up from your kneeling position while holding Todd inside his basket. However, please don't overdo.
1:03 You should add a button called ”new buttons” so he can ask for new words when he feels like it”!❤️❤️❤️🇸🇪
Breakfast inside Mousy
The internet loves you too Todd!!!
Not just Dad but now that Dad has put Todd on YouTube WE ALL LOVE Todd! Thank you for sharing Todd! 😃🐈♥️
4:17 Awwwwww…Todd LOVE basket! 😃🐈♥️
I love Todd’s gentle and loving personality!
Can I ask how you came across Todd?
I lose my baby boy Momo in October at almost 12 1/2 years old. I had a neighbor ask if I wanted to see him 3 days after our 15 year old female Sasha died and I had adopted her from a roommate I had who unexpectedly died.
I don’t know if I’ll get another but I miss having a precious kitty.
Very curious how you found Todd.
Thanks and thank you for sharing their precious lives and interactions so well! 😃🐈⬛🐈🐈🐾♥️
I would think that — for a cat — the differentiation between "inside" (the UNSAID house), and "inside the basket" would be much too hard to comprehend. It will be interesting to see how this goes.
so cute
I recently got a new toy for Broccoli and I think Todd would love it. Anyone else might love it too. It's a motorized chase toy, Similar to how they're used to train dogs for hunting or racing. Broccoli is mad about this thing. He's constantly telling me he wants it turned on! They're anywhere from 60 to 80 bucks on Amazon, real easy to find.
Well Todd played right into teaching I side basket! How perfect!
❤ all y'all! Thanks for letting us see how life is for y'all, how Tedd learns the button board. It's fascinating to watch and learn.
Glad you're feeling better, you're moving around better 😊
I love seeing you intro new buttons for Todd. He’s so adorable it’s obvious how much he enjoys learning. Also-the Glam Cam ❤ I love seeing Glamour pretending she doesn’t care. We know you care, Glamour. I used to work with a Vietnamese woman who pretended with clients she didn’t know English. She knew! So does Glamour😉Spicy Minx❤️
If you are in a nmeighborhood that makes a lot of noise on New Year's, at midnight, you can now tell Tood "Noise – outside" to let him know that the fireworks won't come in to hurt him.
He’s like, um, no lesson today Dad, just belly rubs.
Is there a balcony or porch where Todd can be outside?
Have the other cats ever attempted to use the buttons? Or is Todd the only one who has shown interest in it? I've only ever seen a single cat or single dog household do this before. So far I've only ever seen Glamour walk over and press something by accident and Paulie just seems to avoid it completely.
His beautiful little neurons 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫❤
I wonder if he would understand "Work is Outside"… Or "Noise is Outside" for fireworks or other sounds out there…
I like how he immediately climbs into the basket, giving you a nice additional example of "inside"!
😆
3:11 He looks like he’s ignoring the lesson while luxuriating in being petted, gazing into dad’s eyes…but I know he will ace this lesson?
Thank you for showing how you get him to connect the buttons with what they mean. It's remarkable! You may have shown this training before, but it's the first time I've seen it
Does Todd watch himself? “Todd, tv” 😸
😺😺💗
Thanks for the video. This is so interesting to see how you introduce new words and buttons, and Todd has so much love and trust as you kneel over him to turn on his back without a second of hesitation. The bond is just beautiful. 💙
Does Todd's Mom use the buttons with him, too?. (I'm taking note, because I plan to use them with our future pets after our twenty year old sister cats pass. Not that I'm wanting that day to ever come. And my DH is hesitant about the wisdom of them. I know his concern is we'll hear "Treat" "Treat" "Treat" nonstop. 😄).
It’s interesting to see the familiarization / learning process when new words are introduced! This video is the first example I’ve seen of this.
Yay, the inside & outside buttons have arrived. Todd's little face when Dad said "Dad outside basket & Todd inside basket" was like Dad can't get in the basket, it's Todd's Basket. I look forward to more inside and outside practice
Hi Todd, Dad. 3 new words. Aw. Todd inside basket. So smart.
cant wait to see how he will use these new words… like Dad treats inside Todd belly please lol….
You may want to be careful about "inside" and "outside", most button pets are taught it exclusively for inside and outside the house. Inside and outside the basket and inside and outside the house are two different concepts and loading them into the same word could be A Lot
ADORABLE ❤
Todd learning the multiple uses of inside and outside will be interesting to see!
So cute😂
I can't express enough how much I LOVE this channel and your beautiful cats. ❤😊
Your channel brings me smiles, laughter, as well as a calming effect from stress of the negative things happening in our world.
Lots of positive things and people in the world as well.
I look forward to seeing Todd and you interact he is amazing and smart, beautiful. I enjoy the other cats as well they all are a true blessing and have their special place in my heart.
Your channel means a lot to me and thank you and Todd and Mom as well as Paulie and Miss Glamour ❤.
Georgia Fan!
haha . .Todd – Oohh . .basket. . . That's looks like a nap!
I enjoyed learning these new words. Thank you.
Thank you.
I think the "outside" idea will be difficult especially without showing him the outdoors but Todd has amazed me before.
0:56
Todd:
DAD, THIS BUTTON DOESN'T WORK!
😾
I absolutely love this! Thank you for always making me smile!
TODD, " dad, work outside. NO, Dad SETTLE INSIDE " 😂😊❤
Learning a foreign language can be very taxing. Gotta settle while processing the new info 🤔😴💕
