      Found this online; While some owners believe their pets are truly communicating complex thoughts through the buttons, experts caution that the behavior is likely a combination of learned associations and operant conditioning, not necessarily indicating true understanding of language.

      @@hunthse They absolutely understand. I've seen dogs and cats string words in ways their owners never taught them that make sense and are fully in context to what they're expressing. One cat, Todd, told his owner that he had a bad tooth by saying he had an "ouch, head." Then after the tooth was pulled and he was feeling better, he gave his owner updates on how he was feeling better by pressing, "ouch, head, happy". He also made the owner aware that another cat in the household was in need of medical attention by pressing her name (Glamour), the body part which was her back, and "ouch." He then proceeded to say "want, Glamour, happy", expressing concern over her with the words he had available. The owner took her to the vet and discovered her back was inflamed and she was in pain. This all indicates that Todd remembered that by telling his owner about his pain, he got treatment to get better and reasoned that he could get Glamour help as well. This also shows they don't just use the buttons for selfish what they want in the moment reasons, because expressing concern for another cat doesn't get him any tangible rewards. This same cat also plans out his day with the use of time frame buttons and he then follows through with those plans at the times of day he specified. If he presses, "jingle ball, afternoon", he'll ask for the jingle ball in the afternoon. It's amazing and fascinating to see how their minds work when we give them the tools to show us.
      Also, what is language but learned associations? We connect a sound, specifically a word, to what we learn those words mean.

    My indoor-only cat warned me about an earthquake in Seattle. He started bolting down the stairs, slamming into the door, running back up yowling for me, running back down. He never, ever went outside unless he was in his carrier going to the vet or on a trip with me, so I was quite puzzled. I remember walking a couple of steps towards him asking him, "What?" Then BOOM the earthquake started. He could hear that terrifying noise coming from deep within the earth before I could. I never again doubted that if he was agitated, he had a good reason.

      Totally reasonable. A friend recently expanded her pup’s set of buttons which happened to include the words Stop & Wet for two unrelated purposes. Well, now when my friend showers, her pup can be heard pressing the wet button, repeatedly. Very cute. Now here comes the “awww that’s so sad” part. The pup made the connection that my friend was making it “rain indoors” and could stop it. So after a particularly long summer with minimal rain, it finally downpoured a few weeks ago. Her pup pulled her to the buttons, said “Stop. Wet” then went over to the glass slider & stared out then looked up with the saddest brown puppy eyes you ever did see. My friend had to explain that she couldn’t control the outdoor rain, only the indoor rain.

    We rescued a Tabby cat from a horrific abuse situation. Such a sweet boy and very quiet and timid for several months. One day we had our back deck restained and we went out to dinner. When we came home, we got ready for bed, and our cat started meowing and running around the house like he was being chased or something. He would jump on the bed and then take off running to the back of the house facing the deck. After about 15 minutes of this behavior, we finally followed him and saw a fire in the can that the contractor used to throw away the oily rags. It was up against the common fence with our neighbor. When the fire truck arrived, the fireman said we were seconds away from our house and the neighbors to the side and back from going up in flames.

      I believe originally they were created to help children, especially those with autism, to learn words and how they're pronounced? There is this big study still currently in progress about cats and dogs being able to learn words enough to communicate, and the process is really similar to that so the tools were just really handy.
      Right now the consensus is that cats and dogs are more likely to learn words if they hear it in their owner's voice, so the buttons can record you saying the word and you should repeat it the same exact way every time so they can catch on. If you say it with a different inflection from the recording, or someone else says it, it becomes a lot more difficult for them to understand that you mean the same thing.

      @@jjrat5pack get checked for Endometriosis. I've had this problem since I was a teenager; Agonizing pain, terrible diarhea, throwing pain meds back up if they aren't taken at the exact start of the cycle WITH food, flow so heavy that if you don't wear the heaviest duty pads you'll stain, getting anemia, getting wiped out and sleeping for HOURS. My dad would do 90 on the interstate trying to get me home to rest. I was sick so often the truancy officer was called. The nurse had to vouch for me that i really was sick. And I learned as an adult that it really is potentially damaging to your insides because the endometrial tissue that forms where it shouldn't turns into scar tissue. I'm getting stabbing pains where my ovaries are when I have to go to the bathroom.
      The only reason I haven't had surgery to deal with it is due to a shortage of IV fluids caused by the hurricane in the carolinas and the holidays. This new year, I'm getting this shit dealt with once and for all. It's an absolute travesty that people don't know two decades intot he 21st century. Women need to talk about problems with our periods more.
      BTW, the other disorder to be checked for is polycystic ovarian syndrome. That leaves physical markers though. And it can be detected with an ultrasound and hormone screening. You only need two out of three criteria to be diagnosed with it. In spite of having the physical markers (facial hair, heavy figure) my ultrasounds and hormone tests were negative. So they're moving on to endometriosis. Both conditions can take YEARS to be found, can cause further health problems, can cause fertility issues (doesn't bother me any, I don't want kids, but for those who want them, it can be a huge source of anguish and anxiety not being able to get pregnant and not being able to find out why.)

    I'm older now, and just recently lost my last little girl. Sje lived to be 21 which I'm told is equivalent to 100 in human years. I had her since she was born, and we got to be like those old married couples you hear about, where one always seems to know what the other one is thinking. But over the years of my life, we were like our own little animal shelter. It seemed that critters in trouble or who needed some help, found their way to us, or us to them. We always seemed to have a house full of little critters ( and some not so little ), but we loved it. They were our family. We always found that critters who didn't have a home, or had been abandoned or abused, were the best pets. It was like they really appreciated a good home where they were loved and taken care of. We had everything from rats, hamsters, chinchillas, ferrets, cats, little dogs, big dogs, a cockatiel, etc etc, and we loved them all. As much as we showered them with love and care and attention, we always felt that they gave us so much more than we gave them. Now, and often, I enjoy the many fond memories that they gave us, and if we had to do it all over again, the only thing we might change, would be to try to take in and help even more critters. When Malenki ( which means " little " in Ukrainian ), my last little girl passed away, it broke my heart. it was her time, and she didn't suffer. I was with her right to the end. It was not the first time that happened with one of our beloved pets, but, I guess as she was the last one to go, it was particularly hard, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I am not quite ready to get another pet yet, but when I am, I already know what I'll do. I'll go to our local animal shelter, and adopt the oldest, most unadoptable cat they have, and I'll give them an awesome home for the rest of their life. And when it's their time, I'll go and get another one, and do the same thing, and so on. I have always been a big supporter of our local shelter, and when it's my time, I had already made arrangements that - if I have a cat at the time - they will come and get them, and give them a good home for the rest of their life. I have had this item in my estate planning for a long time, and I left the shelter plenty of money to do that, with lots left over to help other little critters that need help. None of us knows exactly how long we have left, but I can't think of any way that I would rather spend my however many last years, than doing that. Many people have causes that are close to their heart, and there are a lot of different ones, but that's mine.

Our little kitty, Doongie, passed away less than a month after we knew he wasn't well. It was so fast. But we hugged him for a month straight and let him know how special he was. He didn't lose his spirit once. I still miss him every day. Thank-you for your kind comment.

    Apparently animals can detect quakes before us.
    From what we know, usually up to a minute before the quake, there’s a loud boom, this is the plate’s initial movement. The sound travels through the ground often at a frequency that we can’t hear. Then, after around a minute, the ground shakes as the impact catches up to the sound.
    Apparently the sound is rather loud, we can now detect it with special equipment to give us warnings before it hits.
    It may explain Justin’s use of ‘Ouch.’ Followed by ‘Noise.’
    Loud possibly painful noise, as his ears are far more sensitive than ours.
    As for if he knew what it actually was? We don’t know. He could have simply been stating that there was a loud noise that hurt his ears. Or, he could’ve been fully aware of what it meant, and was trying to say ‘hey, the grounds gonna be all weird soon’.
