Billi is a female domestic shorthair, she's 15 years old, her favorite word is mad.
Inspiration for learning to “speak” with buttons from Hunger4Words (check her out on IG).

So, your cat made a request. The request was denied. You explained why it was denied. The cat showed understanding of the explanation, and tried to put a stop to it. You made a request of the cat, and that cat eventually fulfilled your request.
So not only is Billi gracious, but this is *great* evidence of interspecies communication.
Super well said!
What we all observed, and confirm!
I haven't watched in a bit, and I'm astonished how Mom said Ouch once and Billi responded Ouch! BILLI YOU ARE AMAZING
Sorry but this is more like random chance and confirmation bias. Super cute but...come on.
@@jenkem4464 Sure it is. Totally. You're not the one who's in denial here at all.
I love how she is trying to process why YOUR ouch should get in the way of HER catnip...
“Sounds like a personal problem” - Billi
@@BilliSpeaks "It is so HARD to hire good Help, these days."
Billi is really manifesting that "ouch all done" 😂
Yep! She doesn’t understand that’s not how “ouch” works, but I sure wish it did! 😂
Everyone knows Billy makes things so, like Zeus or Picard or some such... ive never laughed this hard
Clever kitty knows how the universe works 👍
@@slytherinsheir1308This! 💅🏿
Yes, so sweet.❣️
This is a full conversation between a human and a cat. I can't get over how amazing that is.
Right? The communication maybe isn't perfect, but it's really happening!
I can promise you my cat understands far more English than I do Cat. 😂 We just don’t have buttons for her to use. But she sure does understand breakfast, snack, treat, dinner, play, etc. It’s amazing, right?! ❤😍
Yeah, the fact that she came back later and asked about "ouch" is pretty amazing. It's one thing for an animal to go "hmm, if I press this button, the human gives me catnip, so I should press it when I want catnip", and another level of mental sophistication for the cat to verbally hear "catnip later, mom ouch" and to then wait until later and ask mom about ouch.
@@kaylaa5699, totally agree!! Kendra and Billi’s work on this level of communication is just astounding! Must be so rewarding to have those aha! moments with Billi. 💝💝💝
The fact that it doesn’t seem abnormal to me at this point is especially amazing
How annoying is it to be pestered in your own voice? 😹
Love Billi! Thank you for sharing her with us!
🤣🤣🤣 Kind of like a horror film premise. I'm not saying that Billi is a monster, though. Billi loves Mom.
Oh, THE VOICES!!! LOL!
I was thinking the same thing! It would be really really strange to hear my own voice giving me a hard time😂
Billi sounds like any kid.
Mom fell down got ouch.
😾 Mom needs cudel .
🤣😆🤣
As a cat person, I can confirm, it is 100% the rule 😂
Yes agreed 😊
Once my ex-fiance said something like, "I don't understand how none of you realise that you can just go like this," and then he actually picked the cat up off my legs and moved it, "and then you don't have a problem anymore."
I went ballistic. Still not ashamed of it. You don't break the rule.
NEVER move a sleeping cat. Every night our cat Samson pushes my husband to the edge of the bed. And we never disturb Samson.
It’s the rule in our house. Though not when you’re restraining the cat, (who would actually prefer to get up now)to avoid being the one to put the kettle on …
@BattyBigSister--Mad. EX-fiance, hmm? (in Billi-speak)
"The staff can get sick? This is most disturbing information."
To me, I felt Billi was trying to get the 'ouch' to go away from Mom. So sweet.
Yes, I had to think of an incantation or something. ^ ^
I thought so too.
I wonder if at first she was
Asking "where" was ouch because Billi gets asked and explains ear ouch, back ouch, etc.
@@kdcats4092 Well, she pressed "Hmmm?", so she requested more information in general about the ouch.
...such toddler energy XD
"Ouch" "All done" is probably the first "get well soon" card from a cat to a human. And it sure beats being given a dead animal as an expression of sentiment!
Love you, Billi. Kendra - hope you're feeling better soon.
considering "ouch" "all done" came from a cat, I think that was an order more than concern !
"I only trust this ONE dealer!" - Billi
Billi is just teaching you affirmation. If you say ouch all done x times it will stop hurting, right?
I'm hoping that's a thing. Will be getting my covid booster soon. I usually get smacked down from them. But, now that I've retired, I won't have to take any sick leave! (Just will have to get up to feed MY demanding Ruler of the Universe)
@@rivercrow8988 Last one I got wasn't that bad. The bivalents seem to have less severe side effects, according to the nurses too
Many relatable laughs in this one 😹 And love that moment when you verbalized "ouch" and Billi thought about it and pressed "ouch hmm?" Clever girl. Took her a while to acquiesce, but she finally hopped up and did her vibrating healer duties
I just realized I don't see the word acquiesce nearly enough on the internet👌
@@allisonsmith8025 Acquiescing itself is a rare thing to see on the internet.
Catnip didn't always mean catnip.
It's also used for coffee
I loved the ouch hmmm??? That seemed so high level cognitively. ❤
So interesting! She doesn't use it very often, but she HAD to emphasise that she was wondering about the ouch. Wanting to understand it.
@@frankad6044 Wouldn’t it be remarkable if she thought something like “I better push the “hmmmm” button or mom might think I’m saying I have an ouch.” Like maybe it occurred to her after pushing ouch several times that she needed to distinguish a mom ouch from a Billi ouch. She never ceases to amaze! 😁
Aww she's so smart. I'm amazed you won cuddles out of this negotiation though
I fully expected a "Mad" far more than Billi agreeing to cuddle.
Right?
Yeah, that’s a major feline concession! “Hey, I guess mom is really serious about ouch this time.”
Blli wants to know of what nature Mom's ouch is. She becomes rather agitated when Mom declares the ouch status.
I actually think the "All done" sequence was maybe a kind of wish. Like we say "Get better soon!"
Imagine if she did it thrice as a sort of ritual that she made up on the spot
I interpreted it as "I hereby withdraw my request for catnip, because you are in pain."
Everybody knows that 3 is a sacred magical number. Well, maybe not everybody, all cats and some humans
It does seem Billi is hoping the pain is all done and she can have her catnip. Really, if you can get your coffee she can have her catnip.
We have a little of that rule going on in our house, lap cat meaning will be getting up later to make coffee or whatever. It’s a good excuse. 😂
Billi: "Give me my fix, dammit!"
The servants are slacking today.😊
Billi trying to force the ouch all done! 🤣
Surprising amount of empathy from Billi here! She seems to understand the "ouch" instead of just getting mad.
That tail spoke volumes tho.
@@kilngoddess424Kendra’s mentioned in the past that Billi has some sort of motor disorder where her tail is always moving, so it’s not an 100% reliable indicator of an incoming “mad.”
@@catc8927
My cat, Koji, has this issue as well. He has to sleep on his tail so it doesn't whack him in the face if he is curled up. We call it his Jimmy tail. However, if he is getting upset, excited, or frustrated his tail gets more active and frantic. When he hits FULL JIMMY you best run away. Lol. The crazy tail takes over and make him insane. Of course, we never miss an opportunity to yell "JIMMY'S GETTIN UPSET!" (Seinfeld quote)
You could see her beginning to get irritated by the increased tail activity. Then mom explains "ouch 😢" and you see Billi become less agitated and become concerned and inquisitive. Such a smart girl.
I saw it as the opposite. She wanted ouch all down so that mom could give her what she wants.
I love how Billy had to really think. Like, "Mommy ouch? Mommy can't be ouch! Mommy's invincible!" 😂
Moms are supposed to be untouchable.
I’m giggling, not because you have an ouchie. But because Billi is like every other child. They want their catnip when they want it.
Reminds me when little children say, “Mom …mom …mom …mom …mom …mom…” over and over until the mom swears she’s changing her name.
Omg… 0:59 the way her attention zeros in the second you say “ouch” and her ears go back as if processing the source of your pain (which had escaped her perception) and what she can do to fix it. Otherworldly empathy! I cannot believe she actually cuddled on call to help. 😻
I think it's amazing that she's not just communicating her wants and needs, but also asking questions! "Ouch" and "hmm?" are nowhere near each other, so you can't even say it was an accident.
Honestly, how sweet that she asked you if your ouch was better even if she had a very important reason to need to know.
She came to comfort you and asked if you still hurt. That is incredibly touching. Even made biscuits, a loving thing to do.
It IS the rule! Always! Cat on your lap = cannot move or get anything, so...yeah...you're screwed dad 😂❤
Yes, Billi knows when you’re about to get coffee because animals can read human minds. 😺
Sometimes it feels like that 😂
@@BilliSpeaksThey can pick up on the images we think in our heads. And the feelings/ intent behind our words. :)
I'm 100% convinced of this. Many years ago I had a cat who would out of all the times I went to the kitchen and fridge in a day would excitedly run into there ONLY when I THOUGHT about yogurt or ice cream. 😮
@@meowglab7702 Or in this case, the cat understands some words already and certain common food and drinks can be among them. Plus mom is acting like she cannot even get up but if she does get up for coffee for herself, but not catnip for the cat, this particular cat will sense that something ain't right with her "reason" to not get catnip earlier.
She really loves exploring the space between what she knows of your world and how to express her world to you. Like if you could sit and tell her about your favorite show, and she could tell you what everyone in the neighborhood did while you were at work. I do think at least some of the "ouch all done" was to see if she could help, bc she's cognizant of the fuzzy process of being sick and getting better, and knows that you're in some way involved, and so is the language board. I hope you feel better soon!
That is a very interesting thought! This is why I've always loved reading all the comments. So many people have such interesting ideas and perspectives.
Her MADjesty has spoken and commanded ouch banished from her kingdom!
Also, Dad, feline paralysis is a purrrfectly legitimate excuse! It's a complex and little understood phenomena that affects millions worldwide. There is no known cure. The only thing you can do is have empathy for the afflicted and help them as much as possible since you never know when you might become so affected yourself.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😅
🤣🤣✋✋
"Are you making biscuits? Can I have one?" 😂😂😂
aaaaaaaaw she's adoooooorable "ouch mmmmh?" then "all done" 🤣😅 it kills me
Aww I think she was trying to will your ouch away!😅😅
Billi is a sweetie! Feel better soon, Billi-mom.
If only the "all done" button could cure all "ouch" in the world...
Please get better mom. No catnip for me. Ouch.
What a clever girl! I love how when you said that you were "ouch" she first repeated, then started asking (and then manifesting Mom getting better lol)
The dad's answer was best "oh no! You got a cat on your lap!"😂😂😂😂
When she said the "hmmm?" I laughed outloud!!! 🤗 TOO precious! 💕
Mom says “ouch” and Billi repeats it. She has those buttons mastered, for sure.
I can’t help but laugh that Billi associates Mom with all the drugs.😂
If there's one thing I've learned about Billi and cats in general, they are persistent little babies! 😂 I hope you feel better soon.
Once she hears your reason, she really tries to put you first! She comes back to the buttons several times, clearly wanting to ask again, then reminds herself, no, mom ouch. ❤
No one watching this could doubt this was an actual conversation. I can't help but think about my little cat or dog and wish I had these buttons to help them talk with me; it would have been such a terrific way to bond with them. Thanks for sharing this with me!
I guess there is a team of scientists that has been following Billi's progress, but I'm not sure if they have published anything about her yet.
@@dbadagnaThere are several cats and dogs involved in the research.
You can buy those buttons. I got their name from the description on one of her videos. I don’t know if it’s listed on this one but if I had to guess, I bet it is.
@@sdl2448 I'll check that out, thanks!
unfortunately i literally _just_ saw another comment where someone _insisted,_ vehemently and repeatedly, that this was just coincidence and confirmation bias, and called people who thought this was actual communication "simple".
they went on an entire rant about it in the replies
With me, the animals come cuddle just before I want to get up for morning catnip. It’s like an 11th sense. “You’re mine, human!”
Or wanting to get up for bathroom visit. According to my old cat that was the perfect tone to cuddle on my lap while stepping on my bladder before getting comfy.
I notice that too.
Mine too!, Also right before I have to pee, then she trods all over my bladder.
@@tamsel814 my cuddly cat is thankfully very tolerant of being moved around & will follow me anyway so i straight up just bring him w me to the bathroom at this point lol i gave up
Billi believed you had an ouch, but clearly thought you would feel better if you were given a pep talk that the ouch was over. No malingering on Billi's watch! At least you got a cuddle once she realized you weren't moving.
It’s like she wants to take away your “ouch” so cute. Hope you’re feeling better.
Hope your "ouch" is "all done" soon- get well soon sentiments from Billi. Soo sweet!
If Billi was a candy striper at a hospital, she'd tell everyone ouch all done, catnip now.
"Can I bring you some catnip water?" -Billi as a candystriper, probably.
Since the placebo effect is,above 20% it would work on 1:5 patients. 😂
Billie is so much like a small child sometimes.
She is very much the toddler.
OMG, Billi, you are so smart and hilarious. Look, the least Dad could do was get you catnip water. LOL
Right??! Especially when SO many people will be watching it!
This is the most amazing conversation yet! Billi wants Mom to feel better now so Mom can take care of Billi again!! Just like any young human child would feel!! Amazing!!
That sped up impatient tail tip tapping throughout says everything!
Ha ha, go Dad! Very sweet of him to get the coffee.
She’s so concerned about you! That is so sweet!!!
Cat cuddles make everything better 😍😍
I'm impressed again again and again. Then I doubt. Then I'm impressed again and speechless how smart she is. We are not over-interpreting, are we?! She understands.
We might be! Humans live to find patterns where none exist, but that’s why we’ll leave that determination in the hands of the linguisticians studying her and all the other AIC animals! It’s still too early to make sweeping claims.
we can see she definitely knows the difference between Ouch, food, catnip, MAD , asking HMMM? and the concepts of time (difference between later and now!) With all scientific precaution we can still see she definitely knows the difference of the button meanings. She also knows Ouch is something so serious that she stopped demanding catnip. Then she literally asked Ouch hmmm? which means she is asking about the ouch. then she said All Done repeatedly as well so she has definitely an understanding of all done/finish as well. Then she comes to Mom for cuddles when asked. None of this can be written of as "coincidence" because she's not just randomly pushing any button near her. She DOES communicate with us and has even learned our counterintuitive
sorry msg cut off on my phone. With all scientific precaution and Ockham's razor we still can see that Billie definitely knows the difference between all these buttons. That's so much more than we humans know in cat language, we don't understand most of their meows and only have rudimentary understanding of her body language . It's actually Billie who's the interspecies genius here, a tiny kitty has learned OUR counterintuitive English so that we dumb staff understand her better... just wow!
Billi asked a question and understood that mom needed something. I'm blown away at the fact that cats can comprehend a question. I know that cats are smart and always thought they're about like a toddler. But Billi proves that cats are much smarter than a toddler. As she progresses and learns more vocabulary, I continue to be amazed.
I really feel badly for my cats because they can't communicate with me. They must be frustrated all the time, asking for things and me responding incorrectly. All I comprehend is "food" "bed" "play" "stop" and "mad". That's their meows but I can only say "come" and "treats" (treats are given after brushing and they know that). I'm going to give them extra cuddles tonight.
Every time I've gotten a covid booster it has laid me up for a whole day. I no longer have a cat and I sure do miss them seeing and hearing Billie.
Absolutely incredible, a damn cat is asking you guestions, asking do you still have pain, can I get my catnip now and it's amazing that she understands what ouch means. I'm just so impressed by this kitty, she's asking you guestions, having conversations and arguing with you.
Your ouch is obviously all done, I said so. It could not be simpler, see? I press the button.
😂😂
Taste of her own medicine 😉
Billi is like my manager at work when I am not feeling well
We all wish it was that easy, Billi! We would all love it if we could just go 'all done' and make the ouch go away! 😭
Such a sweet girl! I just noticed in the background that you have her TH-cam award at Billi level, so that she can appreciate it ❤ How thoughtful!
Last surgery I had, my Tessa just starred at me because I was bedridden. No buttons, but that love bite on my ankle after using the bathroom was a hint of no bed, and just Tessacat for the rest of the day. Hope you feel better!
OMG she’s so adorable, and she’s gotten so good at using the buttons!!
Get well soon!
Cats are wonderful when you’re sick or injured, so loving and caring. Another great thumbnail Kendra ❤
"I know what will make you feel better: if you give me catnip now." -Billy, probably 😂
You remind me of myself with my cat children.
"You making biscuits? Can I have one?" I taught my babies to "give" me a biscuit when I ask by giving me both their paws for a moment. :)
I am crying for you and laughing at her.
I think she might have been hitting all done as a way of saying ‘Get better’.
Your Ouch is All Done because Her Madjesty hath commanded it!
😸
Ah yes, the cat on the lap rule. We have that rule in our house too 😆. Feel better 🩵
Aww, Billie isn’t impressed. How adorable she is.
It’s the “nah we don’t do that here” for me 😂😂
Billy is giving orders that "ouch all done!" She's trying to talk you ought of not being well. Hope you are feeling better. Tell hubby we fans thank him for bringing you coffee.
He’s the best 🥰
🥰@@BilliSpeaks
My 5 cats that were with me for a long time ( Momma until 19 yrs & her 4 daughters for 15-16 yrs) knew when I said " Momma's Owie" it meant not to jump on me or bother me. I have Fibromyalgia & whenever I hurt really bad, I had to lay down. They would lay down with me & often on me. Every time the sopt that each cat layed on were my most painful places. I miss those girls so much !
Edit: They also knew if they were running around & scratched me & I said Ow really loud....they were in trouble😂
IT IS the RULE! You can not disturb the cat when laying beside or on you. If they are laying on a body part , said body part must remain STILL! It's the rule. Every cat family member must abide by the rule of cat superiority! They are descendants of royalty and we must be loyal servants to their greatness. I hold no other to such hierarchy! I loved this family time video. Thanks.😹✌️🖖🤘😻
Billi is imitating a cuckoo clock only Billi's version says "All Done "😂🎉 Feel better Kendra❤
Billi: yes mom we can cuddle and then dad can bring coffee and then you'll feel better and then i can get catnip and then.......😅
Love this cat. She is an international treasure.
I'm going with someone else's suggestion that "all done" is her way of saying "get well soon" bc it's cute af.
Also I didn't know a new covid booster dropped for the under-50s? I'll have to check when I go to the pharmacy later. Sorry it knocked you out, wishing you a quick recovery! ❤
Yep, to cover the newest variants and it was determined for everyone. A friend of mine just got his on Monday.
Billi is a very smart, warm and understanding cat. 💕💕
Thanks for the longer video. And remember, we love to see dad, even if Billie turns the catnip down.
No biscuits for Mom! Billie has to work at the bakery to buy her own catnip bc of the ouch that won't end. 😂
Poor misunderstood Kendra!
0:11 Billi missing the hint.
1:23 Billi puzzling out how "ouch" implies "catnip later"
2:11 Dad missing the hint.
It took some work, but you ended up with cat and catnip water without leaving the couch! Your servants are a touch slow but are loyal nonetheless.
My mom always said kids don’t like mom being sick…
(Because not acting like mom.)
So this makes total sense. Mom not allowed to ouch!
I hope Billies parents stay together forever. ❤ Such a sweet little family.
Let's hope so. If she's still taking the dodgy vacks-een it's a big risk
Dad is a stand-up guy! 😊
Aaahhh thats so cute....ouch hmmm?? ❤
Sometimes I wonder if Billi was trying to suggest Human "Catnip" for Mom's Ouch hahahahah
Yet somehow Jackson Galaxy still thinks cats don't actually know what they're talking about when pressing these buttons! She was able to REPEAT BACK and ASK about mom ouch. If that doesn't mean actual cognition then what's his line?
No, he can't be that dense. I think he's been replaced by an actor. He doesn't seem like the scary guy he used to be. Looks close, though.
Cats are more intelligent than most people give them credit for. And I think some people refuse to acknowledge so they can justify any mistreatment toward these animals in the past - like maybe abandoning or separating a cat from their sibling or parent etc. assuming cats don't value their bonds, or don't think back on the past or look forward to something or have plans, it's easier to do stuff when you assume something is "dumb" and won't be offended
She’s putting it out in the universe! Your ouch is all done. What a cutie pie 🥰
I hope you’re feeling better, but Billi pressing “all done” with her tail slowly flicking had me laughing. She also reminded me of my daughter when she was three (now35)!
I hope you‘re feeling better after Billi came cuddle
Mom is not wrong! Can't get up if you have a cat on you, everyone knows that!
Good luck on your booster recovery Billi's mom 😔
"Experts "are lying about illness and meds. No reason to recover from a shot. I've seen it all, since the polio sugar cubes. First polio meds had cancer cause in it. Watch for truth to start rushing out. It's out now on other than TH-cam. Ya cannot stop the truth anymore. People will be mad that "medicine" killed so many people and pets.
Oh my goodness! We had the BEST cat. Everyone in the house wanted "Bob Exemption." Skip chores, bedtime, anything! Miss him so much. ❤
I’m always blown away with how intelligent Billi is 😻
she heard you say you would get up for your catnip water but not for her catnip 😂😂
People say that the animals "don't actually know what the buttons mean and just push them because things happen when they do" (ignoring the fact that them knowing which buttons to push means they clearly do have at least some understanding of what each button and its corresponding audio clip means), but this? You can't call this a coincidence. Billi clearly knows what's going on and that's insane to me.
Ahem. Love Dad, but he needs to get Mom coffee.... More coffee, and fresh biscuits -- ought to help a lot. Thanks Billi!
