When my kitty was still alive, she was spicy like glamour and shy like Paulie, but if I sat down with her at the balcony, she would stop watching everything else and would happily snuggle to me, happy im there with her on the floor in the sun.
I love that dad turned off the light, the things we do for our fur babies. My husband laughs because I won't run the vaccumn if the cat babies are asleep.
I'm sure your cat babies appreciate it! My cat goes outside in his castle. He did do very well with a massive noisy fan after a flood though- he eventually went up & smacked it, then decided he'd conquered the evil beast & jumped on top of it 😂
@@longwhitecloud8059 I'm sure your cats appreciated it! Does your username mean you're from Aotearoa? Australia doesn't have an Indigenous name, sadly, but my state is lutruwita.
Couldn't help but notice Todd's grabby paws when you got up. "No, Dad, stay here!" Love how Paulie joined in. That's one way you can be confident he loves you, even if he's not as snuggly. Some cats just want to be close to those they love, even if they don't want to be petted and cuddled.
I know all the kitties love me. I know them and their personalities and treat each one accordingly to what they like, trying to give them all as much love as possible. Remember, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. The channel is about Todd and I learning to communicate.
Fascinating how Todd uses the buttons he has available to get his thought across, even if the words aren't exactly right. And such a good cat dad to accommodate Todd's request! Hey Jackson Galaxy, come take a look at this! It's more than just a cat pushing a button to ask for food!
@@llb380 I certainly think he vastly underplays or underestimates their ability to communicate, at least in actual words, as Todd continues to demonstrate.
I know, right? I warm up each cat's food plate with hot water from the sink, right before I put the wet food on it. I spread out the food across the plate so it warms up a bit. It just makes sense that it is more tasty when warm than cold, and just takes like 10 seconds to heat the dish. Non-cat people think it's just over the top. My cats appreciate it, especially on a chilly morning.
cats (and dogs) who are less confident because of abuse or being longer terms strays can be helped enormously by seeing other pets in the family enjoying their human and getting love and attention. for one, it takes the pressure off them, they stop worrying about what might happen because the human is busy with another pet. and secondly they see the other pet is loving it. even when not ready for more yet, they like being in the mix, it feels safe
It really is amazing to watch Todd think about how to communicate with the buttons; it is clearly really effortful for him. And you are a great role model, too, to show how extraordinarily patient you need to be, waiting for him to formulate his thoughts. A lot of people would not have realized that, and would just jump in with the first word and not allow the cat the really extended time he needs to put a multi-word utterance together.
I’m in devastated WNC, but my first access to YT is to see Todd 😻😹. Send donations or pray; there are still many trapped & missing, but there is much government & private help. Thanks ❤❤
You are his Teddy-bear ;-) Poor Paulie feels left out. I wonder how the other cats understand that pressing buttons gets Todd all he wants, and they are missing out just because they can not figure out the magic of the buttons ;-)
I'm only a very new viewer, but Dad's explained in lots of replies how the others aren't left out- it's just that the channel's about Todd learning buttons, & we only see the tiniest fraction of their lives. Paulie's apparently very nervous from a difficult past, & also a Mummy's boy, whereas Todd & Glamour are more bonded to Dad. I'm 110% sure all 3 kitties have the best life possible.
@@beth7935I don't think it's that they seem sad or left out, it's just interesting to think about how they might understand it. I wonder if they're curious about how Todd seems to speak human language, if they think he just has a cool magical ability or if it doesn't especially interest them since they don't need it. It's sweet to see how cats express themselves in such varied ways! Dad seems to speak all of their languages anyway 😂
I think cats love when we get down on their level. I've been doing a lot of it more. Petting, playing, feeding, pics etc. down on their POV. They all seem to enjoy it. 😻
Todd does need a lot of physical attention with Dad, this must by a huge comfort to him, like being brushed or combed, or belly rubs. Todd needs that Dad time to share love. ❤
I started to fall asleep when letting her (my cat 😅)lay her head on my arm last night. But I sometimes freak out just when falling asleep and I did yesterday. Wasn't bedtime yet. Went from me comforting her due to her teething issues (poor kitten, not having a good time with it, and they need treating when she grows up, vets words) to her using her paw to hold *my* wrist because she knew I freaked out a second. XD
So glad he finally figured out a way to ask for more time. When he said "Love you, Dad" and only got a minute of attention I was so upset(!) (I know you have a job, but still. Imo you should quit your job and just pet Todd all day.)
Ha! a perfect cure for insomnia! this video almost put me to sleep! Relax with Todd and take a nap and the world smiles! Loved to watch Paulie join in. He is often nervous when Todd is more active, but this behavior was so peaceful that Paulie could relax as well.
Ever since Bunny, Billi, Todd and another one who I follow but keep mixing up the cat and humans names (I think it might be Russel) and others, I started using the same speech style. I think it's helping. I ask my cat to do something and she's really picking it up. The buttons are expensive and I hate the sound of my own voice but I'm considering getting them eventually. Artemis is 6 months old now. Doing well despite she's having some nasty teething issues (some not growing right, can't be fixed up until she grows up, vet's words).
Hi Dad Todd and Paulie..This is one if the sweetest videos. Todd uses both front and back paws. So smart. And Paulie quietly lays down too. You are the best dad. Love you all.
Its always interesting when todd uses a backfoot button press, he's probably done it enough with you so you know its deliberate. But to me i keep wondering if it was an accidental press. In this case he obviously knew what he was doing.
Sometimes, I’ve learned, the cats want you to be like a cat….and nap.
When my kitty was still alive, she was spicy like glamour and shy like Paulie, but if I sat down with her at the balcony, she would stop watching everything else and would happily snuggle to me, happy im there with her on the floor in the sun.
And, especially nap with them ❤
Ha Ha
So true! 😊
I love that dad turned off the light, the things we do for our fur babies. My husband laughs because I won't run the vaccumn if the cat babies are asleep.
only a monster would! I used to ask all of my cats for permission/warn them when about to use the coffee grinder

@@beth7935 that is precious. Thanks for sharing such a sweet story with us.
I love how Todd reaches out at 5:30 to grab your leg and say, 'Don't go away' OR thank you for taking a nap with me..
Couldn't help but notice Todd's grabby paws when you got up. "No, Dad, stay here!"

Cute to see Paulie settling down and sleeping near Todd. They're finally getting more comfortable.
Dad has much fortitude, not to fall asleep with Todd. Cat cuddles are a strong sleep aid for me.
Yeah, I would have been out like a light. lol
If mine didn’t have claws she likes to dig into my tummy I’d sleep better. 😂
@@tgardenchicken1780I was going to reply the same thing.😊 I was getting sleepy watching the video.😴
@@Terri_MacKay The power of the Feline Sleep Ray!
I’d be the first one to sleep.
It’s so cute that Paulie also want Upstairs Sleep Floor-time!❤❤❤
Is that report ready yet?!
No. Todd wants me to lie down with him.
Carry on. 😊
😂😂😂
I wonder if Todd's human's coworkers follow this channel & if they've talked abt this like that.
@leiatyndall8648 yup the boss does, and bet they're rolling when they see this. 😂😂😂😂

Jackson doesn’t know everything about cats. Naturally that’s just my opinion

Next words needed: bed time story, and lullaby
RUclips relaxing cat music!!!
I feel less neurotic knowing others spoil their cats 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 😊

Pets are to be spoiled. 😊❤
It's no wonder that Todd loves his buttons. No matter what he asks for with them, he ALWAYS gets it.
Ot always, but I try and say ues whenever I can.
That's so cute that he just wanted cuddles while he slept
If this is how Dad is with Todd, I can only imagine how lucky Mom is!
It's amazing how Todd shows his love for Dad. And how much love Dad shows for Todd, Paulie and Glamour. This is a beautiful family. Mom included!
Todd is looking like "Where are you going?? Sleep means stay here and sleep"❤️
How touching. Todd is definitely a Daddy's boy.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
The way Todd paws at you when you get up from your lie-down with him, saying "don't go, Daddy"...my cats do the same thing.
I think a cozy blanket & a cushion or two might add to this experience for all concerned.
Definately!!!!

And you are a great role model, too, to show how extraordinarily patient you need to be, waiting for him to formulate his thoughts.

So true, and you can see that Todd knows he'll get the time he needs to figure it out which probably helps a lot 😊
Dawwww! 🥰
Todd: Okay... now which buttons will get across, "Hey Dad, let's sleep on top of the shelves this time!"
You are such a good cat dad ❤
Every time I lay down with my cats I fall asleep myself- that purr is like the best sleep machine in the world!!🥰
I’m in devastated WNC, but my first access to YT is to see Todd 😻😹. Send donations or pray; there are still many trapped & missing, but there is much government & private help. Thanks ❤❤
Doing both. Our Prayers are with you all.
What a beautiful heart Todd has, he likes being in your company as much as he can
Paulie: Oh ! It's sleep time.. I'll be glad to join! :P
That is precious the felines often want to b comforted as a young child. Glad he had the buttons to tell you what he wanted.
You are his Teddy-bear ;-)
Poor Paulie feels left out.
I wonder how the other cats understand that pressing buttons gets Todd all he wants, and they are missing out just because they can not figure out the magic of the buttons ;-)
Dad always involves them if they are around.

I've witnessed less correct sentence than "Upstairs sleep floor time" just this morning in live chats...
Aw! How sweet! And how clever of Todd to figure out a way to ask for what he wanted. Loved Paulie coming over for pets and naptime, too.
You are so kind and patient with Todd. He is blessed to have someone so loving and accommodating.
Oh, that is so sweet. Todd and dad take a nap.🥰😻💙
Paulie like can I join in 🥺👉🏼👈🏼 so sweet ❤
Maybe next time he'll include the Settle button. He's still learning.
I think cats love when we get down on their level. I've been doing a lot of it more. Petting, playing, feeding, pics etc. down on their POV. They all seem to enjoy it. 😻
When I die I want to come back as one of your cats. I also want sleep and floor time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish buttons would be made for birds to peck. Most don't learn to speak human words, but almost all of them understand and want to communicate...
Corvids would be crazy with buttons. They're so smart.
They use tablet computers actually, bird beaks work on and have enough precision for capacitive touch screens
@@orngjce223 Do you know the name of an app?
@@noma5050Not really, but Jen Cunha at Northwestern University is the one doing this research
Try it!
That was precious! Thanks for sharing this with us.
So cute... Glamour is the only missing baby kitty there in the 'floor time sleep' organised by baby Toddy💤
I'm fascinated by how carefully Todd thinks about how he he's going to use his buttons to express a thought.
Todd does need a lot of physical attention with Dad, this must by a huge comfort to him, like being brushed or combed, or belly rubs. Todd needs that Dad time to share love. ❤
Awwwww…. Sweet Paulie wants to get in on the cuddles and cat pile 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Paulie = nap-adjacent
Todd is such a good and sweet boy. Paulie wanted cuddles too, so cute 🧡
Like the way Paulie also lay down there!❤
*_EVERY_* Todd should have such a wonderful Cat-Dad!!!
We all need a little down time, and Todd is smart enough to know this! 😊💤🐈⬛💝🌟

I just chuckled😅
Todd is well loved and cared for and he knows it! ❤❤❤
now that is a great cuddle time with both Todd & Paulie . did Todd fall asleep? that was neat of Todd
giving his head for kisses!
Shortly after I got up, yes. He was out.
I love it, he called the other cat "upstairs" first. :)
You really need one of those mugs that says "Worlds Best Dad!"
Aw Todd loves Daddy. Beautiful that he found the words to ask for such a complicated request! And Paulie joined in too!
"What greater gift than the love of a cat." (Charles Dickens)
TODD ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS PAULY SAID HE IS TIRED 2
This cat rivals Einstein!
This was beyond sweet! I love that Paulie joined in the sleep fest. 😻
I believe Pauline, enjoyed sleep floor time as well, as all were at the same level, and feeling more confortable 💕🌷
He knew what he wanted and asked you. What a awesome cat Todd is 👍🐈⬛😘
So sweet! And Paulie took a nap too. Even sweeter! ❤❤❤
Ha! a perfect cure for insomnia! this video almost put me to sleep! Relax with Todd and take a nap and the world smiles!
Loved to watch Paulie join in. He is often nervous when Todd is more active, but this behavior was so peaceful that Paulie could relax as well.
Wow, Todd is the sweetest baby!
Ever since Bunny, Billi, Todd and another one who I follow but keep mixing up the cat and humans names (I think it might be Russel) and others, I started using the same speech style. I think it's helping. I ask my cat to do something and she's really picking it up. The buttons are expensive and I hate the sound of my own voice but I'm considering getting them eventually.
Artemis is 6 months old now. Doing well despite she's having some nasty teething issues (some not growing right, can't be fixed up until she grows up, vet's words).
AWW, bless his heart, so precious! Love to see Paulie come too 💕💕❤❤
Cats love a good nap, especially with their friends.
Amazing-took him a min to get his words for you to understand- but he did it ❤❤Paulie wanted to cuddle too
Paulie like to lay close to you. You can not cuddle Paulie, he has trust issues. He was abused before coming to live with us.
Dad naps with Todd and Paule. Aww, sweet boy time.
Hi Dad Todd and Paulie..This is one if the sweetest videos. Todd uses both front and back paws. So smart. And Paulie quietly lays down too. You are the best dad. Love you all.
Should grab a pillow for urself to support your neck and give ur arm a break, but it looks like u had a nice time with them
What a lovely treat to see Paulie as well! ❤
did he just start purring super hard when you said yes to what he wanted lol hes so cute and smart
Often he does.
Ohhhh, he's not spoiled!!! 😂😂
How sweet.
Todd has such a considerate human.
You are all so sweet!!! Lovely! 😻
❤❤❤
Absolutely adorable 🥰 ❤❤.
So stinkin’ sweet! ❤
Such a sweet way to start my day..breakfast with Todd😍 he made a gestures to try and get you back down when you got up :)
How cute❤
I curl up with my cats & up end catnapping myself all the time 😂😂😂 lay down right quick, next thing you know it’s two hours later😂😂😂
Todd's neat..a spitting image of my Oreo!!❤❤
Awww...just precious, and Paulie joining in!
I love that Paulie joined you too! ❤
Thank you and Todd for the wonderful videos. ❤❤❤❤ I count on them
Soooo cute to have a nap with your cat 😍
Sweet fur babies! ❤

They are all intentional. He gets visibly upset if he hits a button by mistake.
So sweet❤ brought me to tears
Thank you.
❤ all y'all
Shoot.. now I'm ready for a nap.
ADORABLE 🥰
So cute. 🥰
Love todd and glamour! It's great work your doing with them both!!!!
Looked like he stepped on “floor time” accidentally…but he wanted snuggles, so it worked.
He is the new Billi
Aww, Paulie joined too. Not too close, but he also be participatin c;
that was so sweet
