    My cat grabbed the brush and chewed it too. It took years to figure out that he wanted his cheeks brushed. I laid the brush in front of him one day and he started brushing his cheeks with it. So I started including his cheeks in our brushing sessions. He loved it.

      To add a possibility: My kitty starts gnawing the bristles if he thinks they're clogged with too much fur.
      (The old fur might be stinky/"dirty" too, because he also "grooms" the fur pads if I put them aside instead of in the trash. And no, he doesn't seem to actually want them as he doesn't do anything to prevent me putting them in the trash like he would for something he does want.)

  • @Baldevi
    @Baldevi День назад +72

    For the Non-Cat-People, if Todd had not actually wanted Bellyrubs, then when Dad tried to give him the Bellyrubs, Todd would have swatted or nipped to indicate that he was not willing to have his vulnerable abdomen handled. That touch that could not trigger the button, but was indeed intentional, that is something to behold.
    Todd trusts that dad give him attention and focus as Todd wishes to be "heard" and was likely a test from Todd to Dad; you noticing my [a little too] subtle request? You did! *Purrs contentedly*
    Thanks for sharing this leap in Todd's thinking and testing limits of the communication buttons, Dad!

  • @susancregg472
    @susancregg472 2 часа назад +1

    I absolutely love watching Todd, and was inspired by the episodes about him alerting you about Glamour's back to get some buttons.
    We finally received our first 6 buttons today. We have 4 cats, and they are closely bonded so I think having one set is best. They always prefer to use the pile onto the same bed (whether there is room or not), play with the same toys, share bowls, etc... and they are constantly mimicking each other, so one set seems to make sense. There is one that has been showing us he is more trainable than the others and also to find his own way of communicating his desires to us, so we are going to focus on showing him (althogh we will show the others as well). If he gets it and the others see him being praised for it, they will immediately become jealous and try to "play" as well. (I swear these cats will count how many times each gets a pet, and demand exactly the same number - so yes, a lot of sibling competition for attention and praise).
    So, here is what I am wondering. What do people thing about incorporating a camera? I am not really big into social media, so I don't plan to post anything unless at least one cat picks up on it in a meaningful manner, but should I set up the camera right away so that, if things do go well I can show people how it all started from day one, or would that just be boring to watch?
    I only started watching Todd about a year ago, so I don't really know if Dad was streaming videos early on so people could see the growth, or, if he just started posting (or interacting with Todd through the camera) when it became clear that Todd had a real interest and aptitude for using the buttons.
    Btw- as a cat "mom" of 4 sweet felines, I have to say that even without the buttons, I think Dad is one of the best cat-parents I have ever seen, and I love the connection he has with Todd. I imagine that connection was there before the buttons, but I think the ability to "talk" to each other has made that connection even deeper.

    • @TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks
      @TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks  13 минут назад

      Great question. I set up a single camera right away and started his videos. I will say I. Ant tell you how many times reviewing the footage has shed new understanding as to what Todd was doing or trying to say. I hear the buttons, but I don't always see him or what happened just before that will make his pushes make sense. Whether you post your videos or not, I recommend it.

    I think another aspect of the buttons that is overlooked is that the pets involved know that we are paying attention to them, their needs, and their wants. In contrast, other pets know that we give them attention, but often not the attention that they're wanting. All simply because there's a communication barrier.

    • @susancregg472
      @susancregg472 Час назад

      While I agree, and have even just taken the steps of getting the buttons, I think that if a human and cat are enough in-tune with each other, many of them start developing their own type of "language" to communicate certain information. Cats will start using their ability to identify sounds more so they can recognize certain words, and humans will start being attuned to even subtle body language, intonations and changes in actions, that we don't usually note in other people. It is somewhat similar to how many parents, especially mothers, are able to correctly understand what an infant needs/wants/feels even before the child can speak (my son was non-verbal until he was almost 4, but I was able to easily understand at least 90% of what he wanted to communicate. (And yes, we tried sign language, but other than a few small signs he completely rejected it). He used a combination of gestures, facial expressions, grunt type sounds, and eye direction to tell me what he wanted/needed/was curious about. In some ways, even though he speaks completely fine now, that need to be attuned to his non-verbal communication has allowed me to better understand him and has made our bond closer since I can understand and respond to things he is afraid to communicate or doesn't know how to really express.
      I do believe similar bonds can exist between animals and people, especially beloved pets, when both parties have the desire. I have 4 cats now, and 3 who have passed. 2 of them (both of whom have passed) each were so close to me, and to each other, that at times it felt like we were having actual conversations. As one of them got older, he developed some issues that had no outward symptoms and the only behavior changes were relatively normal changes with age. He let me know something was wrong and helped me understand that it was somewhere in his upper stomach or chest. I brought him to several different vets, including a gastroenterologist, all of whom thought I was crazy because they could find nothing wrong with him, and when they asked me his symptoms all I could tell them was that he kept "telling" me that the area was bothering him, and seemed to "complain" mostly after he ate. And that when he slept he now seemed to prefer his back, and have less restful sleep and sleep for shorter than usual when he was on his stomach or sides. He also seemed to get tired a bit more quickly when he was playing- he still played just fine and jumped and wrestled and everything, he just was breaking his play up into shorter sessions over the course of the day (this part they dismissed as part of aging, since he was almost 14 years old).
      I was on maybe the 4th or 5th vet when I outright asked for an imaging test. They had done 2 ultrasounds so far and none of them showed anything concerning. One area was a bit large, but not abnormally so, and wasn't uncommon for older cars. The vet must of thought I was mad and tried to explain that the dangers of unnecessarily putting a 14 year old cat under sedation for a scan outweighed the likelihood of finding anything wrong. He also told me that it would cost quite a bit. I told him I wanted it done, was happy to pay, felt the cat was in good shape for his age and could handle sedation, and promised to stop bothering everyone if the scan came out clean. I think that last bit did the trick.
      I dropped off my kitty for the scan a couple days later. When I returned that afternoon, the vet quite sheepishly told me they had found something. The area that they had previously said seemed a little on the big side was not actually big. The organ was a normal side but it had some small "growth" on it.
      They said it could be something he had always had (he had no prior scans for comparison) or a small cyst or just a normal growth that sometimes happens with age, or it could be a tumor or something more significant. Their recommended action was a follow up scan in 4-6 weeks. The alternative was surgery to see what it was, and if needed remove it and get it analyzed.
      It was located almost exactly where my cat had "told" me. - right between his stomach and diaphragm. Which to me meant it was new (since he had just started telling me a couple months ago at that point) and it was causing pain or discomfort (which to me meant it needed to be removed), so I went against the advice and opted for the surgery. The vet definitely rolled his eyes a bit, but I think at this point he realized I was a stubborn and crazy woman who believed her cat over doctors, and wasn't going to budge anyway.
      So they do the surgery. Turned out the growth was a cyst, which may have been there for years (no way to know) but it has formed an abscess which has made it swell up with puss. It probably was hurting whenever pressure was put on it (for example, when my cat's stomach was full after eating, when he laid on the area, and when he was breathing faster due to active play). So yeah, basically exactly when he told me (and what I had observed). No one felt it because it's position was such that it would have been hidden from palpations except if they knew exactly where to feel, and even then it would be hard to find (plus pressing too hard on it could have caused it to burst), and because of the shape of it it blended in perfectly with the area and didn't appear to be separate from the surrounding organs.
      Luckily they were able to drain it completely and remove the entire cyst without incident. But apparently, during those 2 months when I had been getting a vet to try to believe me that my cat had "told me" he needed medical help, he had been walking around with an abscess that could have easily popped and caused him to go into sepsis or even die. Thank goodness none of that happened and he lived another 2 1/2 years before crossing the rainbow bridge.
      None of my current cats have white the same communication with me beyond very basic wants/desires, which is one of the reasons I want the buttons. But looking back, I kind of wonder if the vets might have been more willing to believe me if I could have brought in videos of my cat using buttons to tell me about his stomach. I guess that would have depended on if the vet believed that cats can engage in real communication through buttons.
      Hopefully, with videos of cats like Todd and Billi (RIP) becoming increasingly common and popular, more vets will start realizing that they are able to "listen" to their patients complaints the way that human doctors do.

    I think my kitty heard the "all done" through my headphones. She stopped playing for a moment right when that happened.

    Try using a rake style comb , the one with the flat metal blades spaced apart . You will be amazed at the amount of undercoat you can remove .

      While this footage is new in that it has never been seen before, it is pre-surgery. I thought I would continue to post videos while I recover so everyone can continue to see Todd and Dad interact together.
