I’d be somewhat alarmed if someone looked at me the way Todd looks at Glamour. Cats have very piercing eyes, even though there’s nothing but raw emotion in them.
Perhaps he's found a safe way to wish a kiss upon Glamour? He knows by now, that actually trying it will get him a hiss and a pap pap to the head likely.
Oh, Todd is definitely a smitten kitten. He could not take his eyes off of Glamour, watching her intently the whole time until she was out of his view. I totally believe that he wanted to show affection to Glamour, and "Kisses" was the best word he knew to communicate that. I don't think he used the "Love You" button, because he uses that one to tell Dad how he feels about him, and his feelings for Glamour are different. I love watching Todd figure out new ways to use his buttons to communicate his thoughts and feelings. With a very limited vocabulary (though impressive for a cat), he's learning to put those words together in unique ways, and use them in interesting ways to express something other than the literal meaning of the word, like when he told Dad that his belly was "Mad" when he wasn't feeling well. He's such a smart boy!! 🥰🥰
He did not go over to her to try for kisses, but seems he thinks she is a beautiful sleeping beauty that he would like to kiss her if she would accept it, but he seems to know to look at her lovingly instead. It’s a sweet expression.
Since cats don't really "kiss" other cats (they groom, do head butts, and do other shows of love, maybe occasional single licks of a the top of the head or part of the face, but not the kisses that he and Dad exchange), maybe is using "kisses" to express feeling love for her or her feeling particular amounts of love and protection when he sees her asleep. He has been taught that "I love you refers to the person he is talking to, so he may find kisses to be a better way to express wanting to give her his love. I wonder if dad can put a "love" button on the board and help teach Todd that love can refer to anything or anyone. Maybe dad saying "love Todd, love Mom, love Paulie, love Glamour", or allowing todd to express love for his most treasured items can help him. But I definitely think this is todd expressing his own thoughts. I dont think he is asking dad to give Glamour kisses. When he asks for something for the other cats, he always includes their name.
OK, just when you think Todd couldn't get any sweeter, this happens. I think Todd wanted to give kisses to Glamour... I only wish she would return his love in some small way... It's nice they have their baskets next to each other.
Oh boy, he has to learn what all guys learn: That you love her does not men she loves you. without his buttons we would not have known it is the same for cat ;-)
It's clearly connected to his unrequited affection for her, but it's difficult to be sure what the precise thought is: "I want to kiss Glamour" "I want Glamour to kiss me" "I know Glamour doesn't like to be touched so I'm offering her imaginary/verbal kisses instead" and so on.
Teach a cat to talk, teach a cat to cat-call 🙀. I do think maybe Todd has realized that voicing his affection in human language is the closest he's going to get to being able to express it to Glamour in a way she will tolerate? 😽 Or maybe he's trying to woo her with his exotic foreign language skill? 😹 Does Todd usually direct button talk to Dad when he can see that Dad is otherwise occupied? If not then that could be further confirmation that he's addressing Glamour and not Dad. 🤔
I learned from watching them, that cats understand the concept of "cute." It could be that part of Todd's affection for Glamour is that he thinks that she is cute, so he uses the word "kisses" in response to seeing her asleep.
I agree. I think he was telling Dad his thoughts of how he adores Glamour as he sat and pondered them, watching her. ❤ Love you Todd. Such a sweet boy!
Since "Dad" asks; I think Todd is besotted, and Glamour holds the majority of his Heart Strings. (Still has a Few "Leftovers" for his Dad, thank Heaven,)
I did notice Glamour stretching generally in Todd's direction (which is hello in cat language) then sat and gave him two long blinks which can mean "I love you" or "everything's okay". Or maybe she was communing with the Christmas tree and she's still sleepy! 🤷♀️😆❤️
Maybe someday she will soften a bit. We have an older female cat, medium-haired & fluffy, and she used to be a bit cranky with all of the other cats, even when she was younger (she is IN CHARGE, and they know it)-- but we have noticed a definite softening in recent years. We have sometimes caught her sleeping next to one of the other cats that she used to never even spare a foot of space to ( he might have snuck up while she was already asleep, but she would have woken up immediately in hissed at him in the past), and our youngest cat is allowed to lick her on the face sometimes. She has even been known to play with our other female cat on occasion in recent years. These things would not have happened some years ago. And she still has a lot of vim and verb and energy, so it's not a case of her being geriatric with no choices. 😂
Todd loves Glamour. But she is an untouchable queen. Remember how he alerted you to "Glamour back ouchy". He is super attentive to her. Unfortunately. his love will never be reciprocated. (We have six cats and have a similar situation going on. He loves his queen and she barely tolerates him!)
Oh, yes! I definitely think he was directing his desire for kisses to Glamour. He longs for Glamour kisses. That is so sweet! He knows he’s going to get kisses from Dad when he asks for cuddles, anyway, so he would ask for cuddles, I think. He specifically asked for kisses after Glamour walked by, and he was looking right at her. He really loves her!
Also if Todd gets jealous of Paulie again I suggest you express to Todd how that makes you sad. Explain that Todd being nice to Paulie makes you happy. Todd will totally understand this.
He was obviously watching her intently so maybe yes he was asking for Glamour kisses or maybe for you to give Glamour kisses. Hard to tell , he might be asking for kisses from her or you. 🥰🙋🏼♀️
O poor todd she wants to show her affection and its a no go poor little todd. Have a safe and happy holiday season and a brilliant new year.⛄⛄⛄🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🐱🐱🐱
I have 2 older cats and two younger. One of the older cats, Namali, is a target for the younger ones. Her brother, Neener, mostly gets along with them. The brothers, Mikey and Grayson, purposely annoy her. She growls and hisses at them like a street cat. They don't have to do much. Just get in her face, the little devils. If I walk out, they walk away. 'I didn't do anything, Mom!'😂
Todd is such a sweet cat-man! He loves Glamor! Many times watching him ask for things like pets or play for her. ❤❤❤❤ Now saying he wants to kiss her. "Sleep kisses". Send you big hugs Todd!!!! 😽
I’ve watched Todd understand and respond when Dad says kisses while giving Todd belly rubs. He does seem to associate the word kisses with touching noses / showing affection, so I think he’s saying he wants to do that with Glamour. He knows v well if he was to try to touch noses with her, he’d be bopped by her. At the very least, she’ll hiss. He’s doing it safely. far from her. V interesting complex thinking of abstract concepts!
I wonder: is Todd's interest in Glamour that of a younger cat seeking the adoring mother he has not had in many years? Or is Todd, even though neutered, interested in an older women cat as his friend/companion? Don't know if it will ever be possible to sort that out. Do know that Todd knows that Glamour is Queen, the highest ranking cat in the household. But also in which role, or maybe even older sibling sister/friend--that is a lot more subtle and trickier to figure out.
Boss calls: So what have you been up to all day?
A voice that sounds like you in the background: SLEEP. KISSES.
😹😹😹
I was in stitches thinking about this watching the video (before I came across your comment).
😂
That’s Todd’s way of blowing kisses
Yes I think he is voicing that he loves her and wants to kiss her. Kisses to you my love!
I don't think Todd is asking for kisses, I think he is throwing them
Exactly! He's expressing his affection in a way that won't get him slapped
OMG YES - that’s it… he was calm and still next to the KISSES.button and didn’t try to approach her. He is sooo sweet ❤❤❤❤
my exact thoughts as well! He is blowing kisses to her. Such a sweet boy!
I concur! lol That was my first thought too. In his world he gave her kisses. 💤💋💋🩵
Todd’s intense look melts my heart. Find someone who looks at you like Todd looks at glamour.❤
Great advice. Especially these days when most people look more intensly at their fondle slabs than at each other.☺
I’d be somewhat alarmed if someone looked at me the way Todd looks at Glamour. Cats have very piercing eyes, even though there’s nothing but raw emotion in them.
Oh, the pangs of unrequited love!
Perhaps he's found a safe way to wish a kiss upon Glamour? He knows by now, that actually trying it will get him a hiss and a pap pap to the head likely.

Poor Todd and his unrequited love for the aloof Queen Glamour. 😪
He waits only for the mistletoe to be hung up
This. 💯💯❤️🐈🐈
Todd you need to up your game and say "Glamour want Todd kisses hmmm?"
😂❤
He did not go over to her to try for kisses, but seems he thinks she is a beautiful sleeping beauty that he would like to kiss her if she would accept it, but he seems to know to look at her lovingly instead. It’s a sweet expression.
Unfortunately, he has learned from experience that going over to her may result in a slap.
Understood. He remembers it though, so I would say he is just expressing himself. 😊
He knows about getting consent first! For his own safety!😂
What is amazing, Todd is talking to glamour directly🥰
Aww that boy's in love!
Poor Todd is so lovesick for Glamour.
Since cats don't really "kiss" other cats (they groom, do head butts, and do other shows of love, maybe occasional single licks of a the top of the head or part of the face, but not the kisses that he and Dad exchange), maybe is using "kisses" to express feeling love for her or her feeling particular amounts of love and protection when he sees her asleep.

But I definitely think this is todd expressing his own thoughts. I dont think he is asking dad to give Glamour kisses. When he asks for something for the other cats, he always includes their name.
That's cute and sad. The girl he crushes on doesn't like him back. 😆
Lt. Todd at the comms panel, worshipping Glamour with his eyes. What a precious gentleman.
He is definitely sending thought kisses
OK, just when you think Todd couldn't get any sweeter, this happens. I think Todd wanted to give kisses to Glamour... I only wish she would return his love in some small way... It's nice they have their baskets next to each other.
Oh boy, he has to learn what all guys learn: That you love her does not men she loves you.
without his buttons we would not have known it is the same for cat ;-)
I think Todd was sending his love to Glamour for sure 😘😘
Man, that's pretty sweet.
Love that boy.
It's clearly connected to his unrequited affection for her, but it's difficult to be sure what the precise thought is: "I want to kiss Glamour" "I want Glamour to kiss me" "I know Glamour doesn't like to be touched so I'm offering her imaginary/verbal kisses instead" and so on.
Todds a winner of a boy. So sad that Glamour doesn't have the same affection for him we all do.
❤
This is the world we need...filled with love and affection.
Awww Todd wants Glamour to love him haha how sweet is that!
Todd sees dad kiss mom so he want to kiss glamor.
He’s very tuned in to the other cats. So much for the myth of feline aloofness.
Teach a cat to talk, teach a cat to cat-call 🙀.
I do think maybe Todd has realized that voicing his affection in human language is the closest he's going to get to being able to express it to Glamour in a way she will tolerate? 😽
Or maybe he's trying to woo her with his exotic foreign language skill? 😹
Does Todd usually direct button talk to Dad when he can see that Dad is otherwise occupied? If not then that could be further confirmation that he's addressing Glamour and not Dad. 🤔
He does try at first, but as soon as he realizes I am busy, he stops until im done. I
Love your kittmas tree!💕
His eyes were glued on Glamour ❤ He for sure wants kisses. 😢
I learned from watching them, that cats understand the concept of "cute." It could be that part of Todd's affection for Glamour is that he thinks that she is cute, so he uses the word "kisses" in response to seeing her asleep.
I agree. I think he was telling Dad his thoughts of how he adores Glamour as he sat and pondered them, watching her. ❤ Love you Todd. Such a sweet boy!
How sweet of Todd to say his feelings towards Glamour. He wants kisses with Glamour, but she won't have any of it. Unrequited love aww 😻🥰
Since "Dad" asks; I think Todd is besotted, and Glamour holds the majority of his Heart Strings. (Still has a Few "Leftovers" for his Dad, thank Heaven,)
Yes, he was definitely sending those thoughts right to Glamour. :)
Todd is such a sweetheart‼️ Maybe he was sending her a goodbye kiss 😘
It's the thought that counts. Sweet Todd.
He loves Glamour for sure. So sweet.
Todd you wee romeo love from scotland ❤
Awwww!!!❤ I think he's in love with her, and wants to give her kisses❤
I did notice Glamour stretching generally in Todd's direction (which is hello in cat language) then sat and gave him two long blinks which can mean "I love you" or "everything's okay". Or maybe she was communing with the Christmas tree and she's still sleepy! 🤷♀️😆❤️
I saw the stretch as well and thought the same thing. How interesting.
I think Todd is saying he loves Glamour.❤️👍😀
you ask glamor for permission/consent…. Todd might be learning that as well 💜🙌
Yes. I think Todd was giving kisses to Glamour. ❤😘
Todd is a lover not a fighter. We need more Todd!
Maybe someday she will soften a bit. We have an older female cat, medium-haired & fluffy, and she used to be a bit cranky with all of the other cats, even when she was younger (she is IN CHARGE, and they know it)-- but we have noticed a definite softening in recent years.

And she still has a lot of vim and verb and energy, so it's not a case of her being geriatric with no choices. 😂
Yes. When he wants something from you, he looks your way. It’s as if he was thinking aloud here.
Mewsing aloud 😻 The difference in not looking at Dad makes purrfect sense. I'll see myself out.
Awww how sweet. It’s obviously: the first romcom of Todd ❤😅
That's cute! I wonder what your boss is thinking if he hears your voice saying "kisses". 🤣
He knows and is subscribed to his channel, lol.
Todd's love for Glamour is so sweet!
Definitely, Todd wanted Glamour kisses.
Poor Todd!! I wish he could kiss Glamour. It's so sad that she doesn't return his affections.
Todd loves Glamour. But she is an untouchable queen. Remember how he alerted you to "Glamour back ouchy". He is super attentive to her. Unfortunately. his love will never be reciprocated. (We have six cats and have a similar situation going on. He loves his queen and she barely tolerates him!)

He specifically asked for kisses after Glamour walked by, and he was looking right at her. He really loves her!
Maybe you can give Glamour kisses and tell those kisses are from Todd. Todd definitely will understand what you are doing. I'm sure Glamour will too.
But Dad has to ask Glamour “May I touch?” before he pets her. She’d probably slap him if he kissed her - or worse, she could scratch him.
She’s definitely not as touchy-feely as Todd. LOL
I think Todd really loves Glamour. So sweet. 🥰
Also if Todd gets jealous of Paulie again I suggest you express to Todd how that makes you sad. Explain that Todd being nice to Paulie makes you happy. Todd will totally understand this.
Wooing the ladies.... 😘
He was obviously watching her intently so maybe yes he was asking for Glamour kisses or maybe for you to give Glamour kisses. Hard to tell , he might be asking for kisses from her or you. 🥰🙋🏼♀️
unrequited kitty love is adorable he's a sweetie
100% yes! What a sweet boy!! And Glamour is very beautiful! He also put his talking paws away after she left and settled
Yeah! That was so sweet he settled ❤
oh no, Todd dear, do not wander into stalker territory! XD Kisses when the lady is sleeping, no no no
Yeah, he was definitely doing the lovey-dovey slow blinks at Glamour! 😍😍😍
Unrequited love ❤️
sleep kisses 😻 Absolutely fascinating how he's combining words to express himself.
O poor todd she wants to show her affection and its a no go poor little todd. Have a safe and happy holiday season and a brilliant new year.⛄⛄⛄🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🐱🐱🐱
So Todd likes older women. I had no idea! 😻
Poor Todd with his unrequited love for Glamour! 💔
Oh Todd , you are such a cutie!!😘😘
Oh yes, what a beautiful love story….to be continued….
I think you are right… Todd wanted kisses from Glamour… ❤ so sweet 🥹
I think Todd's kisses are for Glamour❤
I have 2 older cats and two younger. One of the older cats, Namali, is a target for the younger ones. Her brother, Neener, mostly gets along with them.

If I walk out, they walk away. 'I didn't do anything, Mom!'😂
I wouldn't doubt that dear Todd wants Glamour to have kisses. He's really a remarkable fella.
Todd is such a sweet cat-man! He loves Glamor! Many times watching him ask for things like pets or play for her. ❤❤❤❤ Now saying he wants to kiss her. "Sleep kisses". Send you big hugs Todd!!!! 😽
Poor Todd, he really does love Glamour but she doesn’t care. 😿😪❤️♥️😘🥰😻
Sigh ... unrequited kitty love
Todd always watches Glamor, even sleeping in her basket when he is in his. I think it's cute that Todd crushes on Glamor
Aww Todd was all eyeballs on Glamour 👀 Maybe all the talking with buttons has awakened his human side ! 😄
Yes. I think Todd was sending Glamour love notes.
I don't think she got them, though.😢
Oh, how the heart aches when love is not returned.😢
You’ve taught Todd to speak his mind. He’s got his mind on kisses and kisses on his mind, 😽and she’s playing it real cool. We’ll stay tuned.
Aww! Kisses, milady! ❤️
This is what you get for letting Todd watch "Sleeping Beauty" ....😅
Its kinda like he says kisses as if its her name, he wants her to get lots of kisses!😂
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Plus the cats.
Thank you, and the same to you!
Maybe it’s not romantic kisses, but more of a mama cat affection he’s looking for.
Dad's boss on the other end of the phone: "Ummm, did you just say 'sleep kisses'?" 😂
It’s a kitty crush 😻
Todd must have mistletoe🎅🎄he is being so nice🎁
I’ve watched Todd understand and respond when Dad says kisses while giving Todd belly rubs. He does seem to associate the word kisses with touching noses / showing affection, so I think he’s saying he wants to do that with Glamour. He knows v well if he was to try to touch noses with her, he’d be bopped by her. At the very least, she’ll hiss. He’s doing it safely. far from her.
V interesting complex thinking of abstract concepts!
Its his way of kissing Glamour without really doing it
How funny & sweet 😹😻
Yes I think he definitely wants kisses from her although she has no apparent interest so sad for Todd
Now we know Todd loves Glamour, but tolerates Paulie ("all done").
Does Glamour like Paulie more? hmmm?
@@SubliminalJunky Possibly. We haven't seen much on camera interaction between them.
Hi Dad and and Todd Glamour and Paulie.
Hello.
Maybe he was asking for kisses from Glamour.
I think he wants Glamour to kiss him.
The boy is obsessed. 💜💜💜💜
Crush on Glamour and jealous of Pauli maybe a teenage love triangle 😸
