Every time she walked off I felt like it was out of frustration lol. "This human keeps not doing what I say, whatever happened to quality customer service?"
Billy has other requests besides the worm, food and ironing. He wanted to try a different food or play a different game with mint or mom. Give him new words! / У Билли есть и другие запросы, кроме червяка, еды и глажки. Он хотел попробовать другую еду или поиграть в другую игру с мятой или мамой. Дай ему новые слова!
This confirms my suspicion that when she said "hello billy" to the neighbour's cat in a different video, she meant sth like "there's another cat here." She doesn't take "bye" and "hello" as greetings but as statements of place. When you say "hello" you're here, when you say "bye" you're going to dissappear. hello = here bye = gone/away
I think she was saying that she'd finished her food and now she wanted to play. I think the Catnip press might have been referring to her 'Catnip Bunny'. The toy that has a cavity for catnip in it.
This one makes the most sense to me! She seems to use "bye" as a "gone" button, so food is gone, wants to play. Maybe she was having some indecision or unsure of how to communicate exactly what she wanted, but I think she was happy to play worm in the end anyway
I think she associates "play", with activities she enjoys (not food). She pushed the catnip button because this stimulates a non-food pleasure response, that is fun for her.
That makes absolutely sense. Because of our huge vocabulary we have the luxus that our words can be very specific. Billi only has a few buttons at his disposal thus he uses them in a broader sense.
she probably wanted that toy that has catnip inside, so she put play bcs she associate stuffed animal as toy and she knows it has drugs in that particular toy
I love how Billi has to talk a walk before answering, indicating animals think by keeping themselves active and that she's really contemplating what you said and how to respond. (It's also easier for me to form full thoughts when I'm active walking or swinging or driving)
@@floris_fireball6587 , I have ADHD so that's impossible for me. I'd have to be unconscious to stop thinking. Plus "distractions" help me focus on a task at hand because my brain requires so much stimulation
I sort of got the sense that 'billi' and 'mom' were just to draw attention to itself and maybe it just wanted some kind of immediate, non specific interaction. Then again I have yet to watch all the videos!
I wonder if she also associates “play” with being bored. All I could think was “she’s just generally bored and has no idea what to do to fulfill that entertainment need.” Quarantine has me feeling the same way!
She's getting more intelligent, trying to combine the buttons to describe how she's feeling and what she wants. "Bye Food" is probably just her saying she enjoyed her food, and then "Play Catnip" likely means she wants to play and then have some catnip.
when she said "hello billy" to the neighbour's cat in a different video, she meant "there's another cat here." She doesn't take "bye" and "hello" as greetings but as statements of place. When you say "hello" you're here, when you say "bye" you're going to disappear. hello = here bye = gone/away I think she wanted more food, because there was no more food
"BUY FOOD" I think we just caught a glimpse of the future, where cats and dogs who use these buttons join parrots in telling Alexa what to add to the shopping list. "BUY FOOD, CATNIP, WORM"
Which would be an incredible use of language by the cat. I'm a human and a native English speaker, and I don't think I'd ever realised that bye and buy are homophones.
Billi is restless, and she does not know how to express it. Billi is thinking, “I am bored. You must know this telepathically. Forget the buttons. Read my lips. There is nothing to do!!! Tell me what to do!!! The angst! Sounded like me as a youngster after Saturday Morning Cartoons. Such ennui! 🐕👑🐕❤️
I like this one. It shows how a "not perfect" (or even frustrating) conversation may look. In all the videos I've seen before, it's looked so easy and perfect. Sometimes even full sentences. Like last night I saw a Bunny video, where bunny said something like "Look mom, I went poop." full English! But it's good to know that sometimes it's not that easy, for either party. I know you were just trying to push her to clarify more, but it's good to see what it might look like when the animal doesn't have the clarification buttons that they may need, or the knowledge of how to use it.
Can't help but to think she thought you were slow on the uptake there 😄 She's wonderful and your relation is beautiful. Both of you are trying to teach the other their thing. It's so human and so cat. 💙
your level of patience with your pet is insane, most people cant even be bothered to walk their dog. the amount of time you dedicate to your cat is like, more than people spend with their kids
I became highly invested in Billie's, Stella's and Bunny's videos. I find it so touching, heartwarming and fascinating. I remember, when I was a little girl I dreamt of a magic device able to allow us to talk with animals. Guess that I live in the timespan where this dream begin to come true.
It’s times like this that I think she needs an attention button but then she would never specify and you explained that you are working on specifying with the vocabulary she currently has.
Ah, that explains why she didn't play with billi immediately. I wonder if theres an 'other' button so the cat can specify if it wants something new/different (might be a good chance to teach it to use a leash so you can take it for walks outside, although of course there are no buttons outside...)
It's great to see a kitty learning the button speaking technique as well as pups. It's a whole new world of communicating with our furry loved ones and I am here for it!💖🐈🐕💖
You're so patient. I teach English to non-native speakers, and I would like to display and have the level or patience you have. Thank you for teaching me.
You need several new buttons: "Show" - For "show Mom" what she wants "Cuddles" - For "Billi want cuddles" "Brushes" - (Will help both Billi and you too. You catch it on the brush, it doesn't end up on the carpet.) All common things my cat wanted. Hope Billi (and Mom and Dad too(: ) is doing well!
You have patience of an angel. Big chunk of respect! It's amazing to see Billii actually understand and take part in lots of those conversations. I simply can't imagine doing all of this with my cats. Great work!
I'm always so impressed at Mom's patience with Billi-sitting around waiting for her to push a button can't be easy. Thanks for teaching me how to be a better cat parent!
It's crazy how well she understands and can message you. I'm always amazed to watch you two sharing and communicating. It's goes to show how smart cats/animals are and how little credit they get. Thanks for sharing.
I love how she tells you she wants three different things, you ask her what she wants, and she hasn't gotten any of them so she just walks away and sits there with her sassy ears on 😂
this shows, how difficult our art of kommunikation nowadays is. i leaned this with people who have no verbal language. supported communication (is that the right word for it in english?) is so so so important 😃 great to see billi using it 😎
It's so interesting how different people interpret her phrases in completely different ways. I got the feeling that she was done eating and wanted to play outside with you, and she loves getting pets and sunbathing after her catnip.
Mom, I think Billi doesn't want to play with the worm and she gets frustrated because Mom's first suggestion is always to play with the worm. -- Billi did ask to play with (have) catnip. Maybe a catnip mouse? Or a sprinkle of catnip leaves? -- Let Billi have another chance to tell you. Tell her again that you don't understand and ask her to tell you again what she wants. -- Sometimes it's hard for them and for us to figure out what the other one is trying to say. -- Billi might need a few more vocabulary word buttons.
I wonder if to help bridge the gap between play and attention, to introduce a button to play tag? Some high energy play as some others in the comments were saying might be what she was trying to explain, after having food. As zooming and tag might be what two cats might play together after meal or nap time. Or things like hide and seek, since billi is so smart!
In Billi's world "bye food" could just as easily have been "buy food", or ACQUIRE food. But yes, it seemed to be a very teenage eye-roll kind of day. Would it be possible to get a young protege' for Billi to teach? Does the Jedi master need a padwan?
@@eiypo I realize thats the case in the lab, but I wonder what she's picked up at home. And they both do sound the same, so.....Just wondering, is all.
I wonder what would happen if you adopted a kitten, it would probably learn how to use the buttons really quickly because it would be young and it could watch billi and learn from her
"I'm finished my meal, lets have drugs together for dessert and have fun, mother"
No 😂😂😂😂
@@TheSupercheen yes
This needs to be top comment 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I think this is the mist accurate translation 😂😂😂
I like how she often walks around or spins before answering, as though she's clearing her cognitive buffer.
Bunny the sheepadoodle does the same thing. See "Bunny 'Speaks'"
She thinking before answering 🤣
@@Sarandib22 ^ This.
I do this sometimes. I call it my thinking circle... Same thing as bunny! 😁
Is it easier to remember which button is which if she starts from that position?
She doesn’t know whether she wants food, to get high or just some attention. I can totally relate
After the past year, I think we all can relate to Billy.
Lmaooo it's too accurate tho 😂
She probably wanted attention, so she wanted to get high, then remembered that getting high gives you the munchies.
THIS!
I think today she just wanted attention
With how she was moving that tail, I was expecting a "mad" at some point.
Haha!!! Same!! 😾😾😾
I expect them by default from Billi.
cats also move their tails like that when theyre thinking i believe
She always moves her tail
@@LuunnaGaia yeah. Thinking, annoyed, impatient, and mad. Probably there are more.
Every time she walked off I felt like it was out of frustration lol. "This human keeps not doing what I say, whatever happened to quality customer service?"
We need to contact the customer support at the Head quarters.
Especially after that "Mom" button got pushed. 😂😂😂
customeow service is displeasing today.
"Billi" "call" "PETA"
it's just her thinking circles
“Bye food” -she doesn’t understand
“Play catnip” -she doesn’t understand

She doesn't take "bye" and "hello" as greetings but as statements of place. When you say "hello" you're here, when you say "bye" you're going to dissappear.
hello = here
bye = gone/away
Honestly those meanings make more sense than the ones we use.
@@StormTheSquid if somebody would try to teach me their language and I didn't have any concept of greetings, I'd probably think so as well.
wait omg can you share that video
@@LambentLight00 it's the "neighbor noise" video on this channel. It's pretty recent.
In another video, she said "where mom bye" or some combination of those to ask "where did mom go?" so I think you're right
Plot twist: what billi actually wanted was something that she didn't have a button for
Oh that would make sense although i do think she just wanted to get high on catnip lol
Yes, I think that is it exactly!
That is probably it. Limited vocabulary leads to inventing new words or phrases. Humans do it all the time even though we know thousands of words.
World domination
I think she used to have a bunny toy that you could put catnip in. Maybe she wanted that.
"I feel like you're just going through a list of demands."
I can confirm: you have a cat.
“ You haven’t learned to read my mind yet. This is not acceptable.”
Sounds like a bored kid.
Billi: "you know what I want, I refuse to be more specific, MOM"
Billi repeatedly pressing the "Billi" button makes me think she is turning into a pokemon.
She already is, meowth says more than its name ;)
I think she was saying that she'd finished her food and now she wanted to play.
I think the Catnip press might have been referring to her 'Catnip Bunny'. The toy that has a cavity for catnip in it.
This one makes the most sense to me! She seems to use "bye" as a "gone" button, so food is gone, wants to play. Maybe she was having some indecision or unsure of how to communicate exactly what she wanted, but I think she was happy to play worm in the end anyway
Yes!! Food gone! Now play
Or pushing the Billi button means she wants to play with another cat?
I feel like a tanscript of the first bit would be:
"I'm done eating I wanna play with catnip!"
That was my interpretation, though I suspect the fuller version was catnip bunny needs new catnip
I think she associates "play", with activities she enjoys (not food). She pushed the catnip button because this stimulates a non-food pleasure response, that is fun for her.
That makes absolutely sense. Because of our huge vocabulary we have the luxus that our words can be very specific. Billi only has a few buttons at his disposal thus he uses them in a broader sense.
I think you are rigth
she probably wanted that toy that has catnip inside, so she put play bcs she associate stuffed animal as toy and she knows it has drugs in that particular toy
Anything other than the food button means attention to the cat. Any attention.
I love how Billi has to talk a walk before answering, indicating animals think by keeping themselves active and that she's really contemplating what you said and how to respond. (It's also easier for me to form full thoughts when I'm active walking or swinging or driving)

"Bye" could mean "over" "gone" "finished".
Maybe she just needs a button that simply says "Attention" that gets you to sit and stare at her.
i need that button tbh lolol

She's getting more intelligent, trying to combine the buttons to describe how she's feeling and what she wants. "Bye Food" is probably just her saying she enjoyed her food, and then "Play Catnip" likely means she wants to play and then have some catnip.
she also might just want her "catnip bunny", which is her little stuffed beaver toy with catnip in it

I think she wanted more food, because there was no more food
"BUY FOOD" I think we just caught a glimpse of the future, where cats and dogs who use these buttons join parrots in telling Alexa what to add to the shopping list. "BUY FOOD, CATNIP, WORM"
Exactly what I was thinking. I hope mom reads these comments because I wonder if Billies food is getting low and she is reminding mom to BUY food.
Parrots have already started... search for 'African Grey Parrot Amazon Alexa' if you don't know what I'm talking about. 😂
Which would be an incredible use of language by the cat. I'm a human and a native English speaker, and I don't think I'd ever realised that bye and buy are homophones.
I watched a video just yesterday where a parrot accidentally added loads of items to the owners shopping list on Akexa 😂

3:23 I've laughed way too hard at that total indifference towards bunny. :D

I like these longer ones where you try to figure it out
Yeah that's cool
I love how billi is so uninterested in this bunny as her mom throw it to her like thats her sassy response
She has some persistence in one button, so she doesn’t just randomly pressed them
No i think she definitely had a purpose. But I guess she didnt have a button for it so she tried to relate it to play

Billy wants some food and has realised how “buy” sounds like “bye” so she is telling you to buy food
Shes very patient. I was waiting for MADMADMAD
Hearing Billi's laundry list of demands is EXACTLY the content I subscribed for.
To play catnip, Butler's must sprinkle catnip on the carpet and allow Billi to roll in it.
I love the frustrated lashy-tail when she's not getting her point across. So expressive! :3
It looks to me like she is expering the mood of boredom, where you want everything but nothing seems fun enough
Cats are like fairies, they can only feel one all-consuming whim at a time
Maybe when she said “play catnip” she was talking about the beaver with the catnip compartment? The one she called “catnip bunny” in a previous video
I think cat figured out if clicks a button she comes running n has no clue its saying except when hits buttons she comes
You need several new buttons:
"Show" - For "show Mom" what she wants
"Cuddles" - For "Billi want cuddles"
"Brushes" - (Will help both Billi and you too. You catch it on the brush, it doesn't end up on the carpet.)

Several times I thought she was headed for the Mad button. Billi is so smart.
She's just like us sometimes, not really knowing what she wants or just being bored

Billi: "Bye Food."
Also Billi: "Pets." "Play." "Catnip."
I think she wants to play with her catnip bunny or wants catnip as treat 🤣

All that button pressing and no “mad”! 😂
"No matter what button I press she is not doing anything, just talking back to me"
This makes me want a cat.
Cats are awesome.
"Bye food? What does it mean?" sounds like the first Gandalf-Bilbo dialog
