*BEST comment ever* !!!! ahahaha! 😅😂🤣
People all talk to their pets dogs cats horses birds etc and the animals all learn many of the words you say in whatever language you speak. Unfortunately they can't talk back. Animal people are often good at reading the animals body language so we can sort of converse.
@@donnacsuti4980 but parrots can talk
You got me in the first half ngl
Billie uses her "Love you" button far more often than the "mad" button these days 🥺
I mean, having already learning the catnip button tho... 😏
She learned other ways to express disappointment, "mad" remains as the nuclear option.
........................................
How do you teach them? My kittens are 6 weeks old and I would love to teach them.
@@kristydellos2453 YOU DO NOT TEACH THEM - this is total horseshit - the cat has NO CONCEPT OF "mad", etc. like we do. This is beyond absurd - I've trained dogs for 25 years and this is about the dumbest thing I've ever seen - ie. believing this cat is "talking". She understands NOTHING, NOTHING.
Cats aren't truly untrainable but you MUST use food rewards as that's all they want. I do this, I get food. Not "I said food so she'll give me food" - ABSURD.
“She has a favorite word!”
“Cool what is it?”
“ *mad* “
“What?”
“ *MAD* “
Maybe she liked "MAD tv" Maybe you ought to see if she can say 'He looks like a man" like Miss Swan. heahahah
@Isaac Bush yeah it’s either that or the cat just likes how it sound lol
I think most cats would press that button lol
FOOD
Had a siamese 19 1/2 years. One English word she learned first year was " no ", it always sounded a bit mad (angry/crazy). Her first feline companion, a near silent calico, would rarely mimic my "ah-ah" for don't only it came out ( more than two or three) like extended rapid machine gun fire.
Just don't give her access to the Amazon Prime buttons, you will have 10 kilos of catnip at your front door.
Add an "Alexa" button.
"Alexa", "Catnip"
😂
I love how I was the 420 like
"Hey, I don't remember ordering fresh Blue Fin Tuna..."
Oh freaking hysterical!
This human is brilliant. Extremely trainable, possibly the best I've ever seen.
very good human
@@laughsingay nice name lol.
i thought you said human instead of cat, but it is on purrpouse
🤣
That cat has trained her really well.
I'm not exactly sure, but Billi has a medical condition, so she can sometimes get sick to her stomach. I've seen videos when she told her Mom her tummy ouch, and Kendra gave her the anti nausea med before Billi ended up tossing her cookies.
What a relief to have your pet tell you and solve the issue before the mess and worry and maybe even an expensive Vet visit.

@@goldenpaws5056 I don't get why people get so pissed when someone advertises? They're not doing anything wrong
Cat: I've finally trained the human to respond when I press buttons
Please see my RUclips（＾ω＾）
Hahaha....
Indeed !
And this is why the buttons are 100% 'working' even if there is a chance might not actually be doing anything useful.
exactly lol
Billi has actually progressed to word combinations for much more abstract concepts, now. She has named her hu-mom's coffee 'Mom catnip water'...which isn't that inaccurate when you think about it! 🤣🤣🤣☕🌿
when she wanted to play with fantoy, Kendra said "mom ouch. Fantoy later", and Billi pressed "Catnip"... and later "Then"... "Fantoy". I think it means "take medecins, mom and come to play". Catnip make cats feel better (I asume).
@@mairios521 It does; it doesn't just get them high, it's good for stomach upsets (reducing pain and bloating), and a little buzz from it can help medicate their anxiety and depression.
It's helpful for us, too; catnip tea has been used for ages to treat digestive and menstrual cramps and anxiety.
@@alexisgrunden1556 Thanks for that info! Definitely gonna use that for us
you mean 3 seperate buttons for those words? cause thats pretty impressive if they are dif buttons in different places. so not just pressing a single button or something
@@dragonrage500 They are indeed three separate buttons. The cat came up with the idea of calling coffee "catnip water" by herself!
Go watch her more recent videos. Billi has improved massively and is having actual conversations (at least the best she can with her limited word options). It’s more than just her asking for food or pets or outside. In one video she was playing a little rough and accidentally bit mom. Mom told Billi she bit, and immediately Billi went over to the buttons and pushed “ouch where” and looked up at Mom questioningly
Yeah, some of her conversations blow my mind!
She also asks for specific people and it’s so interesting knowing she misses them when they’re not around.
Or when billy wanted to see her human dad (he was in ghana for the week), her mom said "Dad in ghana" and she answered "what". There are ao many moments that are so mind blowing.
My recent favorite is when she got worked up about something and Billi just walked over, pressed settle, and swaggered away. Had me rolling!
Omg they're evolvingg 🤯 reminds me of rise of the planet of the apes lol
Mom: It's not dinner time yet
Billi: ...
Billi: *"Mad"*

Billie's spamming of the MAD button reveals the truth: cats are really just tiny bundles of perpetual rage.
where is the death to all hoomans button
Ain't that the truth. But they are a necessary evil though.
That wasn’t already known?
@@soulfly3438 so all cats are like futurama robots, they want to kill all hoomons.
That’s one of my favorite things about them
“It’s something that’s fun for both of us and that’s all I care about”.
Enough said.💛
And uploading the videos to to the internet for recognition, but that's all I swear.
Period.
You can tell she's actually concentrating quite hard on the reactions.
True. She knows that it means something but to understand she has to rely on her hooman's reactions
This cat trained its human to react to buttons.

Or maybe the cat loves the sound of her laughter, thats why she keep pressing the MAD button.
My exact thought!
Holy s---- you just read my mind.
Ive seen a lot of the videos. She uses it to show when she doesnt like something.
Yeah I've seen more videos - she always seems to use the mad button after something that would definitely make a cat mad, like denying food or being picked up and taken off something or taking something off her 😂
Except the owner doesn't laugh every time. I think she associates it with generally wanting something or not being pleased. She knows it gets her attention easiest, so in that sense it's expression in its purest form - she's feeling some kind of way and wants that to be known. But she doesn't press it if she's happy or she wants something specific. She might say "mad" and then immediately after "food" which seems to be her way of conveying that not only would she like some food but she is not content without it. She definitely doesn't see the word "mad" as strong of an emotion that we would - to her, it kinda encapsulates every moment where she isn't getting everything she wants. In fact, I think sometimes she doesn't even know WHY she's mad, she's just being moody.
It must sometimes be infuriating to the owner to hear "mad, mad, mad", but I think it helps the cat, because usually cats don't have a clear, direct way of showing displeasure - they can spend a lot of time just being dicks and trying to get attention, and their emotions and needs can still easily be missed or misunderstood. Billi just has to press one button, so even if she doesn't get what she wants, she probably feels like she has been heard and seen.
Billie has a HUGE vocabulary of words she uses in a timely manner. She will hit a button multiple times for emphasis, and she has been learning more and more words. Billie is a genius among cats, but I think most cats could learn to use some buttons, if not as many as Billie.
I reckon pretty much all cats are capable, but whether they can be bothered to learn them is another matter entirely! I can't imagine the (honestly very smart) cat we had when I was growing up using something like that. He was _far_ too independent and stubborn! He definitely had the intelligence to do it, of that I'm sure!
I love that when she’s noisy doing dishes in the kitchen, Billie will incessantly press the “mad” button until she stops.
Or the "noise" buttons... maybe followed by an "All Done".
Omg, it's BilliSpeaks! So happy to see them getting covered by the Dodo!
Haha yep
is bunny already covered?
I also thought that! :D
I was screaming when I saw the thumbnail, finally BilliSpeaks!!!!!!!
Does billispeaks have her own youtube channel? Cuz I wanna see more of this extraordinary cat.
Something I find interesting:
Billi rarely ever meows.
Cats meow when they're trying to communicate with humans.
Given another, more effective and direct method of communication, the cat has no reason to.
This is what i find interesting too and would like to try. My kitten barely meowed at all when I got her, and I rescued her from the street where she had little to no interactions with humans. After about 2-3 months she got fairly talkative and uses different meows and reactions to try and ''tell me'' what she wants.
I want to try doing the buttons to see if her behavior would change again and how she would use it, especially since she seems really set on trying to communicate with me.
I think Billi's owner mentioned in a instagram comment that Billi still meows, but far less frequently than she used to
I watched this video on cat communication which stated cats don't meow to each other, except when they are kittens. Adult cats meow only to humans. Yes, so this woman really has come up with something.
Hmm I love the sound of a meow so as a selfish human I don't think I would want buttons.
My cat is like this at the opposite end. He barely mews when he's with me because i find his body language pretty clear (like he would start running randomly because he wants you to follow him to open a door) He only mews at people that don't pay enough attention to him to get what he wants
Kendra, you’ve done amazing work with Billi.
Billi definitely knows what she's saying. She's even started using her buttons to form combos to refer to things outside of her limited vocabulary. My favorite is coffee. Coffee is mom catnip water and I think that's just perfectly hilarious.
"Mad" is food in Danish, so she is obviously bilingual... and trying to teach her slaves as much ;)
XD
Yaaa, I'm danish too lmao
Dear mom and dad. Today I learned Danish.
Haha selvfølgelig🤣
Well I learned something today. So, is the Danish version of the Mad Hatter a... "Fat Hatter"?
That cat really knows how to push your buttons.
Funny 😂🤣
The pun tho is underrated 🤣
Hi Ant...GOOD ONE... *L-O-L-O-L* *: )*

thank you, you made me laugh out loud.
Dodo, you need to do an update video on Billi, because she has advanced exponentially since this video of 2 years ago.
Billi has her own channel called BilliSpeaks...
@@jennifer1329 I'm well aware, as I've been a subscriber to her channel for a couple of years now. In fact, I found her channel, before I found this video.
Unfortunately, we have not seen a Billi video in a little over a week, and since Kendra (Billi's Mom) has already advised us of her health taking a downward turn, I'm apprehensive. 🥺😢
Billi has SO MANY more buttons now. She uses the word " noise" a lot now. 🤣 When dad is gone on a trip, she pushes " want" " dad". So cute.
Edit: Her channel is Billi Speaks.
*If I gave this to my cat, I would be woken up at 2am every morning with her sitting on the food button*
My cats would take turns sitting on the food button and if they could they would probably bring it to our bed.
🤣 You're absolutely correct.
Pretty sure me and my girl would only need two of those buttons. 🤣😉

I think the video that impressed me most was when Billi showed that she understood the meaning of making a mistake. She'd pressed the wrong button, looked confused at the owner's response, then pressed "oops" and then the right button.

It would be fun to have there point of view after years of observing us like: " lets start with daddy, you are snoring every night I can't take it anymore and lets not talk about the day you force me, yes sir you force to go to the vet! Do I force to see a doctor I don't think so"
I wouId not mind (if they let us live at least) 😅
i mean they already rule the internet. The real world is the next logical step.
Aww Billi ❤. This just showed up on my recommendations. My how she’s learned. Love seeing the old house too.
The last video I saw from Billi, she wanted some food.
So she use "All done. Food" buttons and then "mad", because Kendra didn't see non verbal message before she presses "all done" and "food".
When she helped Billi, the kitty pressed "I love you" button. It was like a "Thank you".
That cat clearly understand human language and what each button means.
I love when Billi uses "Mad" button very often to express outrage to her hooman mom
That cat has a larger vocabulary than most of my neighbors...

The Dodo, please make an update to this video! Billi’s understanding and communication has improved massively since a year ago.
Go to "BilliSpeaks" on RUclips. The updates are there
@@unrulysue6927 Yeah, I know. But I want The Dodo to do an update video with another interview with Kendra.
2 years ago, I saw this video for the first time. 2 years later, I follow "her MADjesty" Billi and can confirm --- cats can express themselves amazingly well with this system.
Billi is being its main pioneer, but so many others now, too.
if my cat would ever press that "I love you" button, I will literally cry and break down right then and there.
I would give him every password.
The cat doesn't actually understand the concept of I love you and surely cannot understand the connections between it and the button. These button videos are all fake. Anything beyond food, outside, and bathroom is beyond cats and dogs
I accidentally got this thing to 666
O O P S
@@wastedtalent1625 First of all, I'm pretty sure "pets", "play" and "catnip" are also very intuitive for the cat to understand. Second of all, based on the owner's response to "I love you", the cat definitely associates that button with some form of affection.
@@frederikl.1642 Cats dont understand what I love you means.....they may get that those words make the sounds that come along with affection but they don't understand the concept of love....they're cats. Idk why people are so stupid
I love how after pushing "I love you" she started purring
Awww ❤️
Funny thing, the word Mad, actually means Food in danish ^^ Tho its a more prolonged prononsation, like Maad rather than Ma-D :P
So sweet
Ue
Cat: See? Is for real. Because i purr.
Love this video, because if you've been watching Billi's channel lately, you know that she's progessed so much! She asks where dad is when he's away, tells mom to stop the rain, and has even learned concepts like "before" and "soon"!
Wow!
She stops using mad as often, so I'm assuming she'd used it out of frustration that she didn't have a word for something
I recognized Billie right away! ❤🐈⬛❤️
1:26 you can see that she’s actually mad based on the way she moved her tail it’s amazing how she used the button
Yes, I noticed that too. But maybe she is just annoyed that she cannot figure out the meaning aof this one.
@@bignigincoming8774 yeah the second i saw that i doubted it. The “food” and the “pets” and the “outside” all make sense, you can teach a cat that easily by fulfilling their demand, and then the cat understands the connection between the button and the meaning, but i can’t think of how you could teach a cat to say they are “mad”
@@OHYS Well, maybe when you see, that your cat is "mad", you push the mad button, so she starts to build a connection
@@paimaikar285 and also it appears that she can roughly understand words that the owner says and press the button corresponding to it
@@whizthesugoi Oh for sure, I just try to find an explanation how you can teach the meaning of an "abstract" word like an emotion
I love how Billi always looks like she’s teetering on the line of being a wise elder with amazing knowledge to share and looking like she has wii music playing in her head 24/7 xD
Having language actually helps the brain understand complex concepts
That's all cats tbh
@@giabread fair enough, but with Billi it's amplified
@@irishuisman1450 I've been sitting and laughing at "looking like she has wii music playing in her head" for like 30 fucking minutes
@@t.p.ggaming3884 glad my random thought made you laugh xD
This is incredible! How do they teach their animals to do this? I’ve seen birds do it too using an iPad. The bird lost its friend and would ask to see pictures of her friend, then she would ask where did she go, and then say she is sad, she is mad. It’s so sweet and sad
BILLI, MY BABY!! ♡♡♡
Edit: to this day, one of the funniest interactions I think I ever saw was Billi trying to explain with the buttons that she doesn't like rain because it makes her back wet, and that it's weird.
I love when she's taken off the window and put on the floor, then just... MAD. MAD.
Billi definitely understands, at least somewhat. The way she looks up at her mom when pressing the buttons is the same way my cat looks up at me when he's trying to tell me something in cat.
Its been shown that smarter mammals such as dogs can understand very rudimentary language. I dont know if this experiment has been done with cats before, but cats are pretty smart as well, and I wouldnt be surprised at all if they could understand basic words and concepts as well.
At the very least, they can understand a correlation between pushing a specific button and certain actions, which is close enough to language as its still a communication of ideas with intent.
@@eragon78 Precisely. Cats are more than smart enough to make the connection between sets of sounds or certain buttons and a desired result.
Cats do that look, and it's either head empty, no thoughts, or they're trying to solve the questions of the universe lol.
@@eragon78 If you check out kendras more recent videos you can see that billie has progressed a lot with the buttons and conveys what she wants to say much better now. It’s more clear she’s genuinely understanding what the words mean now. For example, in a more recent one, kendra is playing hamilton on a speaker, and billie continuously presses the “ouch” “noise” “no” “later” buttons, and chills out when the music stops. The second the music is back on she asks for the noise to stop again. It’s super interesting!!!
@Raed 928 You do know how young children learn words, right?
Go and give Billie lots of love as she is very ill at the moment
Cats can definitely distinguish words when they care to. Both my cats know the word “cookie,” which we use to refer to kibble (which we give to them as treats). Even if we use it in a sentence without any special inflection, they’ll come screaming from other rooms to get the promised cookies 😂
Its funny how the word 'Billi' in Hindi literally means 'cat'.
How lovely
Exactly!
Lol yea.
That’s so cute!
Ohh I wanted to comment that exactly
If this was really designed to let you know what a cat is thinking, I'd imagine there would have to be a few swear words available.
The cat: I want food right now fucking human or i mad
LOL! I know my big tomcat Maverick would swear like a sailor if he had that option! I love him, but his former owner gave him up because she was scared of him, and she was expecting a baby. She was right, he can't be trusted around a little one. He bullies our other cat, we often have to put him in a crate for time out when he gets too crazy.
He's a heck of a mouser, though, and even killed a rattlesnake at his former home.
@@LazyIRanch HaHa! He sounds like some of my family members. Maybe I should have a crate handy at the next family BBQ.
You got that right!!!!
@@johnnygee4206 Lol! I can imagine the infomercial or the QVC segment. 😂😂😂
I've watched her for a long time now and I've always noticed how her expression always shows that she's paying close attention to your whole delivery of info
Another thing is that Billi once pressed her name when referring to another cat, implying that she doesn't see her name as an actual name but instead thinks it's what humans consider as Cats
I'm not skeptical Billi knows EXACTLY what she is saying and doing MOST of the time. Sometimes cats don't make any sense that's alright lol
Agreed! Sometimes humans don't make any sense, too hahaha
I love how Billi will often take her time, when Mom asks her a question with the buttons, and will work out exactly what she wants to say before pushing the right buttons. You can see her mind working out how to translate her desires into buttontalk for Mom to understand. I think it's just amazing!
Then, of course, there's the one-button statements where she doesn't need to figure it out. "Food," "outside," "mad" come to mind. LOL!
I dont think so, theres a reason he kept pressing "mad" because nothing happened and he couldnt figure out why so he kept pressing it.
“Billi” in Punjabi means “Cat”, so the cat is literally named “Cat”.

The cat is just happy that someone gave them buttons to control her humans.
When she presses mad her tail is waving, so that indicates that maybe she knows what mad means. :v
Means they’re happy probably
@@sumwonkool that is very much NOT what that means
@@sumwonkool No it means they are either irritated, agitated or angry
@@sumwonkool It's important to know that cats and dogs both have a different body language. When the whole cat tail is waving like that they are usually irritated, annoyed, mad, stressed or angry, that kind of stuff. Like the previous comment said.
She actually flicks her tail quiet a lot. I notice it in most of the videos when she's thinking about what button to press. It seems more to be her being engaged than angry.
The best BillieSpeaks video is when she snitches on her dad for feeding her between meals.

This is proof of an old saying, "Cats do not have Owners, they have Servants".
My 1st reaction too!
MAD! LOL. That's a cat for you.
Mad means for Billie rather agitated. You have to understand that animals learning with buttons understand some concepts a bit differently than we do because it's hard to show them what exactly something means sometimes. So Billie is probably often not that angry when she pushes the button.
CatNip🤣 This cat is awsome
Maybe in time, as her vocabulary grows, words like not and very could be taught to Billie. Happy would go well too.😉👍

Hello guys i am also making cats video please support my channel😍😍😍😍😘😘😘
Cats (and dogs) are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!
I live way out in the boonies, off-grid on solar power. It's wilderness here, nearest neighbor is a mile away. However, the Universe has sent me two cats, they just showed up out of nowhere, 3 years apart!
How the heck did they find us? We love cats, so they certainly found the right place. The latest one came here 3 days ago. I was shocked when I saw him, because he looks just like my favorite cat of all time, who I got 38 years ago and who died in 2000, the same week I lost my sweet Mom. I've been feeling so sad, but this darling kitty has stolen my heart! I feel like my best friend came back.
@J Raff What a cute name! Does it have a special meaning? She sounds adorable and cuddly!
And kiss it on it's head
Billi is the smartest cat! I watch her videos all the time and it amazes me how well she can express herself. But I told her mom that she’s now Billi’s pet 😂😂😂
Or maybe cats are this smart and we just don't realize it because of communication barriers.
Super cool. A cat that talks through her buttons. The talking buttons speak for her. Her talking buttons.
the new video where Billi presses 'mad' to express that she hates the Hamilton song playing is amazing
Every intelligent being agrees
she specifically says "mad" and "ouch" a few times, and when her 'mom' asks what's wrong. she says "noise"
@Raed 928 or that, yes. but you anthropomorphize her by saying "clearly it's her favourite" so, you know: yeah.
skepticism is healthy, but skepticism as a "point of pride" is just another cognitive bias.
@Raed 928 lol dude it's great to be skeptical but it is a cognitive bias as any other the cat seems to press it when it can't figured out what else to press in my experience cats do get frustrated they have emotions not as complex but sure but its simple the cat connects the button with the feeling of frustration or displeasure maybe even pain itself if it's not just using ouch as mad 2.0 and it hits the button because it was trained to when it feels the displeasure it hits food if its hungry and play is it feels like playing
@Raed 928 in the video, it's pretty much proven that the cat made a connection between the music and the "noise" button. Sure, pressing mad over and over would've just been the cat pressing her favorite button, but when asked why she was mad, the Billi specifically pressed the "noise", "ouch", and "mad" buttons. "Learning language" is probably a bit of a stretch, but she certainly understands that when humans hear specific noises, they behave in certain ways. The cat didn't like the music so she pressed the buttons most likely to have her turn it off.
It's so obvious when she presses mad her tail is swishing
If you go to her channel and watch a couple of videos you'll see that billie's tail swishes when she's thinking. It's a pattern a lot of us noticed lol.
THAT IS SO CUTE, and I believe it, I've seen a dog do that before and cat are sieneiificlly proven to be smarter!
More people needs this with their pets. Pets DO have voices and opinions, if we would understand them, of course they'd like us more.
My cat's favorite words are probably
Take me out
Don't take me in
My cat's favorite word's would be laser pointer lol.
Please see my RUclips🦆
my cat would also say the same but in reverse =))

So it seems we both know how to speak cat।।🤣🤣
“Let me out.” *lets my cat outside* “Let me in.”
Love cats they're a mood lol
Yep a lot of cats got adatud

I feel it's less that she's mad, and more like she's trying to figure out what the button does, since you don't have a direct reaction to it when she presses it. Food gives food. Pets gives pets... mad gives.... mad gives.... Mama? What does mad do?
At first maybe. But now, if you check out their channel, she uses it intentionally. She even has a button for happy and uses it intentionally in correct contexts (and don't get me started on how she's now communicating times of day)
She explained that the way she taught mad was by pressing it for her when the context was right. Like if she got up and had to move Billi off her lap, and she was giving the annoyed tail swishes, she'd press the button. She did the same to show her what ouch means, but mostly used it showing that she had hurt herself since she didn't want to hurt her cat. The one time she used it for her was when she accidentally stepped on her tail and took the sad opportunity of having hurt her cat to press the button to add to what it meant. And now she uses it usually to say a noise is hurting her ears or presses it when she notices her owner hurt themselves. It's pretty cool
I had a cat years ago who learned to say, Mama, Yes, and Hungry. She could pronounce those words very well. Hungry came out more as 'Ongrey'

I love the attentiveness in Billi’s eyes! 😻 She’s clearly communicating in an advanced way with the buttons! I’d like to know how she started associations with emotion though. “Food” and “pets” and “outside” could be easy learned connections, but “mad” is quite fascinating.
I think mad is actually understandable. You would just have to press it when something undesirable happens and eventually she'll make the connection i.e. when 'bad' happens, she gets 'mad'. I'm more interested in how she differentiates 'love you' from 'pets'...
@@aliciablack1254 Maybe it was when she initiated the affection herself?
all of these buttons result in one thing, your attention. Pets, food, laughter, love, snuggles, catnip, walks, outside...whatever it is its you showing attention. The cat doesn't touch the buttons when you are not home because cats aren't dumb. Fact is if you want food and you get pet meh I'll take it. The reality is Billie gets fed and pet and gets to go outside regardless of touching the button so it may be positive reinforcement but the cat is still going to get everything it wants regardless of touching the "correct" button. Sometimes my cat wants to snuggle but if I give her a bag of catnip or a saucer of milk she's cool which makes the reward to cats mostly interchangeable and solely about being bored and wanting attention in whatever form. Chances are you shower even more love and attention and treats when the cat presses "mad" because it amuses you which marks that button as the highest payout so it gets pressed more often.
@@jessicachernak8699 I mean, even assuming all that, answering questions in the correct context on accident can only happen so much.
We're talking 20 buttons with each having very different results. You can only go so far and call it lucky coincidence.
I'm not saying that Billi understands things the same way humans do, but assuming that its just positive reinforcements is easily disproven.
As for the mad button, it's a button that comes with displeasement or frustration.
@@Predated2 Well it only has to happen so much on the edited video. So who really knows how many times she presses the "wrong button" you only see the video clips she wants you to see. She isn't going to show the times Billie got it wrong :p. Also the food button is the one right next to the food so that one is easy. Also the one for outside is by the door.
For those who do not think they understand, a dog with a button set where planes fly over often invented a name for them "Big upstairs bird" another of hers is "Dad upstairs poop".
Is that Bunny? That sounds exactly what Bunny would say.
Billi has learned so much more
An update would be great
Her looks is always stuck in this innocent way that makes it like she oblivious to what’s happening and it’s so cute.
My husband uses these same buttons to communicate when I won't talk to him.
Do you just push the mad and outside buttons? Lol jk i would tho
@@comingsn2519 Lol, I will get my own buttons that say, " Mad, don't talk to me!
Its billie, i love this cat, she can speak a whole sentence now, she is so smart
Our tabby doesn’t need a button for that. Her glare says it all.
One day you’re gonna hear “outside” in the middle of the night but the cat is in the room with you
There's ANOTHER cat I hope
that would be a cool premise for a horror movie
@@hnguyen5656 where another stranger cat is the cat murderer
That would be terrifying
That's creepy AF
that must be hell sleeping whilst hearing " *MAD, FOOD NOW, PETS, PLAY. CATNIP. MAD MAD* "
I love Billie 😍 Been following her for over a year now.
The more I responded to my cats the more they communicated, we always seemed to understand each other💕🥰
Skeptical? The moment she pressed "mad" I knew it was real
Mom: "Billi what's wrong?"
Billi: "Mad, mad, mad!" 😾
She is not mom. That's not natural. She is caregiver, female caregiver.
