The First 20 Minutes After I Get Home

- This is what it is like when I get home from work in the evening. I change and give Todd some cuddles then head upstairs before dinner.
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 53 words on his soundboard. This channel is dedicated to Todd learning to “talk”. If you would like to see more of Todd and his day-to-day life please visit his Facebook page.

🕊️ Am here because of your beautiful and thoughtful tribute to our dearest Billi. Thank you so much for that. It was quite a comfort for those of us who have come to adore, her, Kendra and Dad. Thank you. Billi is already so missed... 🕯️
i very much look forward to getting to know that handsome Todd!
🩵☘️🥀
Billi led the way, and she will be deeply missed. Welcome, and I am glad you are here 😊
Yeah we all miss sweet Billi, too. Though I’ll bet her family is missing her even more than we are. 🥹😓
It was wonderful. And yeah, I cried.
Thank you, agree ❤️
Billi was a true pioneer in cat-human communication. Her interactions with Mom Kendra and Dad were amazing. I know you'll enjoy seeing Todd use his buttons and watching the love between him (and Glamour and Paulie) with their Dad as well! Their Mom makes an occasional appearance as well. I found Billi first, then discovered Todd. Subbed both and had double the fun.
It is so sweet that Todd seemed to want the same nice brushing experience for Paulie as he had himself ❤
I know 😢
Todd was making up for lost time. It's sweet that he asks for attention for his housemates. ❤
Yes, he is considerate of his housemates
“Brush Paulie” “Paulie is scared of the brush” “I know…😈”
😆
Maybe Todd is actually Paulie’s psychologist and is trying exposure therapy to help Pauli get over their fear of the brush!
He truly cares about Paulie thats for sure
Yes, he has certainly change from his attitude a year ago
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Well that's typical sibling behavior. It took a year for my daughter to stop asking me to take her brother back to the hospital. 😂😊
He must wait all day for you to get home. He clearly loves you so much. 😊 It was impressive the way he asked for a toy both Now and Later. And it is so sweet that he is including Paulie in his requests for activities!
😊 thank you
Todd is a cat but with the buttons he looks like a man who know what he wants. For him and others. Fine dressed and combed😅
😅
Maybe he thought Paulie was looking a bit haggard and needed some brushing. 😹
Possibly 😄
Todd had so much to tell you and catch up with! 😂 Such a smart and loving little boy. 💖
❤️
Todd's fur is so silky and shiny! He must really love your attention. It was sweet of him to ask you to brush Paulie and to tell you he loves you. He's one very smart and very lucky kitty.
We have a very special bond and enjoy the brushes.

He has a very similar looking coat my girl Adeline. She’s also a medium hair tuxedo, but she only has a splash of white on the left hand side of her face
She’s very sick at the moment and unfortunately veterinary expenses aren’t subsidised by Medicare like most medical things for people in Australia. It’s looking like it might be FIP, but I won’t know for sure for a couple more days - we’re trialing remdesevir tablets (the injections are way out of my financial range - I was already rejected for a loan large enough to cover an MRI)
Anyway, I love watching Todd a lot. His quickness, kindness, and general Velcro-y nature remind me a lot of my girl Adeline - I if they very distant relatives? (Since I’m in Australia, it would be many, many, many generations back)
The connection between you both is so heart melting!
Thank you, we have a very special bond.
Todd missed you you've been gone for a long time in his time so he is making up for all the quality time that he missed while you were at work ... even asking you to give attention to Paulie what a thoughtful brother love it !!!
Well said ❤️
I wish my cats could talk like Todd. He is so smart and loving.
Thank you
How nice to be so loved!
It really is!
Dad's schedule..... Now... as soon as you arrive home..... BRUSH/PETS/CUDDLE FOR 20 MINUTES...... everyday. With love from, Todd.
Pretty much, lol 😆
congrats on 10K subscribers! 🎉❤ you and Todd have earned our love and respect.
Thank you so much!!
Handsome and smart, great combination!🐈⬛💝🌟
Thank you 😊
Hehehe He's a busy boy! He has to make up for all the time you were away :) That love you just melts my heart :)
Me too. It is the best thing 😊
He is such a beautiful and sweet boy and clearly loves you very much. I love that he wants to include the other kitties in his activities.
He truly is a sweet and loving boy.
I just love how smart our cats are. Dogs are smart too, but it seems more special with cats for some reason ❤
Thank you 😊
I think dogs blindly love their owners whereas it’s a more deliberate choice with cats, so more special. Just my opinion everyone! Please don’t hate me any dog lovers 😅
@@jadziadax1969 I agree
He was intent today on living life to the fullest. His face and eyes were very expressive in this video.
Yes he was, thank you.
There is also the possibility, that after first thinking about playing Laser Mouse later - Todd thought it over, and decided it would be fun to play with it right away.... - Or, then he thought that it was best both ways. 😀
Yes,both are possibilities
The pace and intent of ‘play’ and ‘whirly’ being so fast surprised me. It looked like Todd’s trying to button talk as fast as you do lol
I have found that if he feels strongly about something, he talks fast. Generally it a negative emotion. The fastest one he has done was when he was very frustrated. I could figure out what he was asking for, and he said Want Dad No just about as fast as you can read it. There was also the time he had a scratch or bite on his back, and he asked me to look at it. I asked him who ouched Todd's back, and he went right to his board quickly and pressed Glamour. Lol.
He's happy to see you he like to be brush when you are back
Yes, he loves his brushes and cuddles
Aww 🥰 Todd 😻😽🐾💝
😊
Todd makes plans….for a with everybody!! 😻☮️💜
😊
Oh Todd, u snuggle bug...💜💜💜
He is a very affectionate cat
What a darling cat
Thank you so much 😊
After Cuddles, Todd presses Dad Later Now Laser-mouse. I don't think he was asking for Laser-mouse both Later and Now, I think he meant he would spend more time or Cuddles with Dad Later, but Now is playtime with Laser-mouse. 😻
That is possible
I thought the same thing!
People all over the World-Wide-Web now know Todd's Dad is "Kitty-Whipped." (That surely is a handsome 'Fur Coat' that you care for. {Watch Out for "Disney Non-Princesses."})
Wow! That was a very elaborate sentence around 3:50! He's getting really good at this!
He is. He amazes me daily
Hi Dad Greg. I watched but not posted for a while. I like this croaky quotes of Todd’s, like 3:38 Dad, later laser mouse, now. I just got the feeling and I been wrong before. That he make sure you know, If Dad says later, Todd said now😂
I'm glad you are here whether you comment or not. lol 😂
I don't know about Todd's training, but yours seems to be coming along well!
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
lol
Excellent 😊!
Thank you! 😃
Seems like he's got you trained instead of the other way around!
And I'm good with that
Thanks for sharing your amazing cat with us❣️😂😂
Our pleasure!
I love watching these videos so much 😊 You and Todd have a great relationship ❤
Thank you. We do have a very special bond.
I imagine hearing Todd saying....ahhhhhhh
😊
Yes, it sounds like PURRRRRRRR
Todd is like, I missed you sooo much today, Dad. I did nothing but nap and dream of what we would do when you got home. What a greeting he has for you! That's so awesome.
I'm sitting outside with my little semi-feral kitten/cat Drizzle. He's had a recent growth spurt and is now noticeably taller, but not any thicker/heavier. I bought my indoor "giant" cat Noah and Drizzle some catnip toys today. I've read that about 85% of cats like catnip and 15% do not. But ALL the cats I've ever had loved catnip. So I wondered if Drizzle would like it... And, he does! He was rubbing his face all over the toy... Kicking it with his back feet... rolling around on the ground. I went inside to get my phone to video him playing... and yep, he chose the exact moment I started the video to get up and walk to the fence to groom... Then he lay down in the soft grass in the shade for a cat nap. I guess it is "first cat nip, then cat nap" for Drizzle. 😺
Aww, I'm glad he likes it. Glamour and Paulie love it but Todd does not care for it.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Interesting... Thanks for sharing that.
Congrats on 10K subscribers!
Thank you 😊
I think "Dad later, now laser mouse" means 'Dad do your stuff later, now play laser mouse with me!'
That I a possibility 😊
Is it me or is Todd really fast with these button pushes, like Human fast. Wow.
I have found that when Todd feels strongly about something, he knows what he wants to say and pushes them fast.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Interesting! I also find it fascinating how he looks at a number of buttons before deciding. That should be clear he's not just pressing random ones.
Are we sure Todd was being nice with regards to Paulie and brush, or was he low key criticizing Paulie's grooming habits saying he needed a brushing, lol
I choose to think he was being nice
Ah, he missed you so much. He needs extra loving.
He is very affectionate
Ok showing cats think of others again!
Todd will often ask for things for his housemates.
Seems like Todd is aware of the “ you are neglecting Paulie “ comments on the past videos and is making sure to ask for attention for him. 😂 😜
😄
Glad you both Ok.
😊
3:28 Todd was telling you he was done interacting with you and wanted laser mouse. Also PLEASE please mirror his requests with the buttons, add 'now whirly' or 'play whirly' but give him more grammar and other sentences. However, what you're doing is obviously good, Todd's doing so well!
I do mirror his requests at times. I do not include it here often to keep the videos shorter. Everyone expects Dad can use the buttons.
Busy.
Yes, he stays very busy 😊
I keep forgetting to ask you. Is Todd the only one that shows any interest in using the buttons or do the others just not use them much?? Todd is very intelligent, not saying the others are not. Maybe not as interested in them as Todd.
Todd is the only one. The other show no interest in them. Remember, we are asking if they want to learn a foreign language, just like people. Most do not want to put the effort into it.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks
Thanks for the response. I kind of figured that. ♥️😻
If you put an identical button set downstairs, would Todd use them to talk to Mom during the day? I realize that might not be great, given her childcare responsibilities, but I’m curious whether Todd thinks she understands button communication. Does he use them to talk to her when she comes upstairs?
He does not talk to anyone else even if they use the buttons. We do not want buttons downstairs as we would never be able to watch a movie or sleep. Lol.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks " as we would never be able to watch a movie or sleep" LOL with you! 😄
I think Todd looked like he was limping slightly on his front right leg, does he get arthritis?
I also thought he was moving a little stiffly. Almost but not quite limping. It looks like he’s favouring one side.
No, he does not have arthritis. Todd has a chronic condition that can affect his balance. You may see him walk a little off, stumble, or trip.
Who needs more attention, the grandson or Todd? 😉
A better question is who drools more, lol. I will often go to my wife with the shoulder of my shirt wet and ask was I holding the grandbaby or Todd.
what button did you add last?
Todd gets 3 at a time and his last buttons were belly (body part), Help, and Treat
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks im looking foward to see how he uses
them)
No he said Dad later, laser mousse now. ??? Before that he clearly wants brush, pets and cuddles from Dad….then later more Dad ….probably all the pets Brush and cuddles from Dad he can get. ( now and later)l Clearly wants to make up for you being gone.
That's certainly a possibility
