Join us and watch Todd, a 7 year old male Tuxedo who uses recordable buttons to communicate with his hooman Dad. Todd is an incredibly caring and loving cat looking out for the other kitties and his hoomans. Todd currently knows 62 words and has an incredible bond with me. There are two other kitties in the house, Glamour and Paulie, and while they choose not to use the buttons they are often around and joining in the fun.
Todd Asks For Something New
Today, before leaving for work, Todd asked me to put him in his basket. I did, but he got up quickly and asked me to put him in his basket and brush him later. This was new, as he had never asked to be brushed in his basket before. I thought maybe it was a mistake since he said later. As soon as I got home, he repeated the request, so I put him in the basket and brushed him there. He seemed to enjoy it.
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 65 words on his soundboard. This channel is dedicated to Todd learning to “talk”.

Todd Informs Me That His Head Is Upstairs 😂😂😂

I love how Todd will just tell me random things about himself or his day, like telling me he's going to sleep and just walk off and take a nap. Last night, he told me that he was upstairs. I told him he was right and asked to make sure there wasn't anything more he wanted to say about it. He then told me that his head was upstairs 😂. I did not laugh as that might upset him but told him he was r...

From early on, Todd has shown, at least in my opinion, that he truly understands the words on his board and the concepts behind them.

Christmas Eve 2024 - The Chronicles Of Todd
Todd is thinking out loud while making plans and the plans worked out well. Todd made an appointment for brushing, lol! Maybe Paulie thinks Todd's scent will get all over him from the brush.
Poor Todd looks a bit stiff on his legs, limping a bit?
Nice to meet you Todd. Just found your channel.
Welcome! I'm glad you are here!
The cat is randomly pushing those buttons and you are trying to give a meaning.
I actually thought Todd was trying to tell you his tail and leg hurt....From gas pains but he didn't have that button! 😂 Ty for clarifying he just wanted to be brushed.
What was Glamour communicating about?
Todd is so cute! And bright! Variety is the spice of life!
Todd is a sweetie boy and so smart!!! He and his siblings have a wonderful Dad, too!🐱🐈🐈⬛😊💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
🤣😂
Dad needs to give Todd a little more time to formulate his ideas I think.
Todd asked to be brushed in his basket later, and by gosh, hours later, he remembered asking for it, so he must have been thinking about and looking forward to getting brushed all day while Dad was at work. I wonder if Todd does that every day...thinks about what he wants to do with Dad when he gets home from work. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
Todd isn't doing his normal stretching before pressing the buttons, he must have those thoughts all worked out...
Todd is far more intelligent than the current crop in the Oval Office ...
Did Todd mean his word board when he said head? Because he can communicate his thoughts?
Your cats are very overweight. I know indoor cats are more prone, but certainly they could get an exercise wheel??? I worry about them.
False. Todd, Glamour and Paulie have a lot of long fur, which makes them *look* fat.
They are not. Glamour and Paulie are both older cats, and at this stage, they are losing weight, and we are trying to keep them maintaining or gaining weight. Glamour weighs just barely 7 pounds. Todd is within the upper end of the normal weight for a cat his size. My cats are well taken care of and cared for.
Aww, poor Paulie. He says, “ I want brushes and I want a basket” 😂
What are some new experiences i could request, given the constraints imposed upon me by my current button supply......
Thank you for taking such good care of these angels.
♥️❤️❤️❤️🐈🐈🐈🐈🐾
3:23 ok but is he saying yes to Glamour?
So cute OMG I adore the basket cam So cute seeing the other kitties too -Glamour being her spicy mouthy self haha and Paulie is such a sweet gentle guy ❤
We call purring pretty songs❤❤
We have the orange conveyor belt string thing toy. We've had it years! We don't use it a lot, but every time I bring it out to play, both of my cats are very interested in playing with it. They love that thing! Unfortunately, the inventors don't produce it anymore. I wish someone would come up with a redesign for it: have it motion sensored with an automatic turn off. And, most importantly: have it rechargeable. My cats and I both would be very interested in buying an updated version. 😅
Does Todd have a button for "kiss"?
Yes
At least HE knows where his head is! I'm still trying to find mine! 😅
Everyone got at least a little bit of special brushes today. Glad to see the whole kitty family
What’s Todd’s backstory before you had him?
I was not looking for or wanting another cat when I met Todd. I was going to meet my mother at the shelter and help her pick out a cat. When we (My Mom and Dad, my wife, and myself) walked into Todd’s room to look at the kitties in there, it took about 15 seconds before this 3-month-old Tuxie kitty looked at me, lifted his tail high, and ran straight to me. I picked him up, and he gave me kisses and purred. I said here’s a friendly one and handed him to my Mom, and I started to look at the other kitties. He let her hold him for under 30 seconds before he squirmed so much she had to put him down, and he ran right back to me. I picked him up and held him for a minute, then handed him to my wife, asking her to hold him so I could look at the other cats with Mom. The same thing happened; he forced his way down and was right back to me, demanding I hold him. I gave up, sat down, and started holding him. The shelter worker came in to see how we were doing, and I told her what Todd had been doing. She said he was a friendly cat and hadn’t been there long, but she was unaware he acted like that with any other person. I looked at my wife and said I think I’ve been adopted; what do you think? She agreed, and Todd came home with us.
Amazing!❤ It was clearly meant to be& Todd is obviously a great judge of character.I was also chosen at the rescue centre by my beautiful Louis many years ago. I thought I wanted a ginger kitten but it was this little black baby who adopted me as soon as our eyes met. We had 18 years of love & I miss him still. @TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks
Just out of curiosity, how come the other 2 cats don't use the buttons?
The other cats do not use the buttons. I have offered and continue to offer them to Glamour and Paulie, but they are uninterested. Glamour has shown that she may know some of the buttons from watching Todd, as she has “accidentally” stepped or sat on buttons relevant to what is happening at the time. For example, I ask Glamour how she is doing, and she walks across the board and steps on “Happy.” I think the other cats' lack of interest is the same as that of humans. Most do not want to commit to learning a foreign language.
I wonder if Todd has recognized that getting up and down appears difficult for you and found a way to make it easier. He does seem to be smart enough
I think Todd means to say pet my head…IAM upstairs.
These videos inspire me to be mindful and in the moment when playing Mousey with my kitty.❤
Todd is not only smart but also creative and imaginative. Good job Dad, too. ❤
I'm no 'cat whisperer', but I would think each cat should have their own brush available. When Dad strokes Todd with the brush, all Todd's scent is on the brush. Perhaps each cat doesn't want to be covered in another cats' scent. But I am enthralled with Todd's progress!
I disagree. Cats scent mark their family members and their territory all the time.
I'm not up to date, but is Todd suffering from something like arthritis or similar? It's quite evident that in this video he is rigid on the front legs, almost limps... it's more of a stiffness, sorry English is not my language; I would ask him if he has a happy back or if he has ouch somewhere...he wasn't like this in other videos...I hope it's just my impression but it's very apparent to me 😟
Todd has a chronic medical condition that can make him quite wobbly on his feet.
@LindaVernon Oh, thank you!
Todd has a condition that can make him wobbly he will also develop a kitty elbow like tennis elbow if he is over using the buttons.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Yes thank you, I'm sorry for Todd (he's so sweet), but happy that it's something under control! I watch the channel often but not regularly, so I missed this info. Plus I actually thought I was already subscribed but now I see I'm not, I don't know how but it has happened before that I find myself unsubscribed from somewhere..., I'm going to fix this 😉
Dear Diary, Today I got one step closer to the dream cat spa. Unfortunately, there is still no button combination I can think of for "scented candles" and '"hot stone massage." If only Glamour could master the current buttons, perhaps she would find a creative solution. Love, etc... Todd
I love the painting!
I’m really surprised they like those baskets so much. It looks so uncomfortable. 🫣😳
Um, cats are liquid so not as uncomfortable as we would be. They also like various confined spaces.
😊👍
I like the pink brush. Bristles are covered for a more gentle brush!
scientists: - cats don't have long term memory Todd: YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
He was definitely annoyed he had to repeat himself. 😂🤣
At first I wondered if Todd wanted his basket brushed (smoothed down). Brush basket = de-mat the basket, Dad, it’s getting a bit rough. 🤓
Next, Todd will be asking for Brush-Basket for Glamour, too. Like a couples massage at the spa. Todd must be planning ahead for Valentine's Day!
I can just imagine that when he was in the basket, he suddenly thought, "You know what would be perfect now? Have to have that brush thing!"
That does make perfect sense. He was in the basket so briefly the first time.
Todd is the reason most cats never get a turn with the brain cell. He’s been hogging it.
Feline is not porcine
Awww he wants brushes in bed, like grooming him to sleep for better dreaming! 😍
Why is Todd limping?? 😟
Todd has a chronic medical condition that can make him quite wobbly or stiff on his feet. Some days are worse than others. There was a brief time when Dad was home all the time when Todd got a repetitive strain injury. Too much time talking with Dad compared to usual days.
Todd is amazing and Dad is amazing!🎉
Todd's ability to plan some nice activity to be done later, instead of right away, is astounding. Why would he choose to delay the gratification? Even us humans often have a hard time waiting till we get to do a pleasurable thing... many would rather do it right now!
That's an interesting question. My kitties are always having to wait on me, but if they had their way, I'm pretty certain they'd end each request with a "now!". 😅😅😅
That took some creative thinking!! He put that together nicely!! I wonder how long he has been imagining getting brushed in his basket. 😮
