Todd Said Something Rather Concerning - This Is Why I Taught Todd To Talk!

  • I just returned home from a 7-day business trip and one of the first things Todd tells me is Glamour’s back is not happy. I looked her over and her back does seem a little sensitive. She is not in distress but seems sore. I will get a vet appointment and get it checked out. Glamour is 15 years old and it may just be the effects of getting older. No matter what it is we will see what we can do so she is comfortable.
    Todd is a 7-year-old neutered male cat at the time of this video. Todd and his dad have been learning to communicate with each other since May of 2022 with the help of recordable buttons. We aim to let Todd express himself and tell me his wants and needs. Currently, Todd has 53 words on his soundboard. This channel is dedicated to Todd learning to “talk”. If you would like to see more of Todd and his day-to-day life please visit his Facebook page.

      There have actually been official studies done on various species(birds are the first that come to mind) that show altruism with birds who had access to food making sure those who could not reach it stayed fed. They do better than people! Also teaching and communication is very common in the animal world. For example they now know that dolphins speak different dialects based on their pod and home location. Sometimes they even have get togethers with multiple pods all speaking different dialects, but still seem to understand each other and communicate just fine.

      ​@@lilythebassetpuppy Agree with you, though it's being said that about cats it's harder to see. Since I have had both cats and dogs, it may be easier with dogs, but when paying attention to a cat, one does learn to understand their individual quirks and see if sth is not ok. What exactly is not ok, may be hidden from us, but cats too are definitely not themselves if in pain etc. Stupid thing that the vet didn't believe me when I thought our senior had possible cancer or kidney issues, and then 2 months later she had to be put down for cancer. 😢 And yes, she was playful etc until her very last days, but other things told me long before that she is not ok. Then again, I don't think that she would have wanted treatment and it might not have prolonged her life so much - and her life quality should be most important, more than the longevity...I do hope and think that her life was mostly happy, but wonder what she would have told me if I would have had such buttons for her...she was such a clever girl, and very much a nurse cat to the whole family. Miss her.

      You raise an important point. It seems to me that when trying to increase communication with our companion animals by teaching them to use *our* language, we also need to be observant of and open to *their* natural means of communication. Our pets are communicating with us all the time and often we probably aren't catching the full context of what they are trying to tell us, although anyone who loves a pet knows that after awhile you both get to understand each other pretty well. Thus, if Todd's sentence using the buttons is important, so are the other cues he would naturally use to get his meaning across. It's tempting to want him to use buttons to confirm his Dad got it right, but maybe he doesn't think that's necessary if his affectionate caress was his reply. Not trying to lay down absolutes here, just speculating about the "mixed media" cats (and dogs) might choose to use to communicate.

    I'm so impressed with the way that Todd thinks very carefully about how he wants to communicate what he wants to say. We can literally see him sitting there and thinking about how to tell you what's wrong with Glamour. With only a very limited number of words at his disposal, it's so interesting to see how he puts them together to say something that he doesn't have a button for. It's also interesting to see that he used the buttons to tell you something about another cat, and not himself. I wonder if he'll do this again.
    You're so lucky to have this special relationship with Todd.❤❤

    Animals can communicate telepathically, I belive. Glamour told Todd and Todd relayed the message. How awesome is that? Todd is such a sweet and caring kitty. Todd also said "want happy" as opposed to "ouch". Very profound. 😎😁 I hope Glamour will be ok. ❤

    Just discovered your and Todd’s channel this afternoon and wish I had come across you guys a long time ago! Todd is nothing short of amazing, a tiny genius in a gorgeous little feline body! I am just bowled over by the fact that he wasted no time letting you know about Glamour’s back issue. Incredible that he chose “want happy” to express how he wants Glamour’s back to feel good and “happy” again.
    So sweet! So glad I found your channel! I have been binging a bit. Hope you all had a great holiday!

This really makes me want to get a set of these items for Neffy so that he can have a good communication tool too. He is already very communicative, but this might help take it up a notch. Thank you very much for sharing, friend. Wishing you and Todd a lovely day today!

    I feel like this could be kind of a historical event. It's just so amazing. It shows that not only can Todd communicate, but also that he's capable of talking about the needs of another cat, and about something that is really important and should be addressed. I just feel like that this whole interaction requires a pretty high level of brain development. I know other things have been noticed, like he plans his day ahead of time, likes to make appointments for certain events, can tell what time of day it is, and invents new toys. And he has shown empathy for Glamour and Paulie before. And I know that cats are very empathetic. But it still seems so amazing because Glamour really was hurt, and he alerted you about that immediately.

    • @TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks
      @TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks  12 дней назад +6

      I agree. I have felt this way ever since he started combining words together in ways I did not teach him to express ideas I had not taught him. It showed he not only truly understands with word or concept he is pressing but his own feelings/wants and their meanings. My go to example is before he had or learned Mad and he only had happy when something happened he did not like he started saying Happy No
