Did Todd Just Tell Me To Be Quiet?!?! 😂😂
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- When Todd and I woke up this morning, I went upstairs to prepare for work. I said my usual Hello to Todd and sometimes he said Hello back. This morning he told me Hello Noise which I interpreted to you’re talking too loud, be quiet or shut up. Lol, I think he may have felt bad about it afterward as he then tells me Hello and Love You Yes.
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 56 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.

"Good morning!" - "Shut up."
Relatable, if you're not a morning person 🤣🤣
🤣
That was my thought. I don't like to be yakked at first thing in the morning. Give me a few minutes, at least. 🤣🤣I also think since Todd's NOISE button is new, he may have been testing it to see if talk qualified as noise.
That’s my husband I’m the mornings…
Sounds like me. Hate to admit it but I am NOT a morning person. I don't think Todd meant that at all, the way he took it. I think Todd heard what the hoomun didn't.
@@evelynbare1975I need my quiet time and cup of coffee in the morning too, before any human can talk to/with me. 🙈 My cat can talk and even wake me up at nighttime, and I just love him just the time. 😅 Cats are the bosses...
He hears so much more than we do. Noise could be from outside the house.
This! So much this!!!
He needs inside and outside buttons. And purring modeled as happy noise.
Possibly, it was 5am and quiet
Could be something he’s hearing that you’re not. We tend to ignore high pitched sounds our small appliances make.
This is definitely another possibility; cats' hearing is far and beyond what humans can even imagine. It might be from outside the house, but could also be inside the house and just inaudible to human hearing.
Cats are fairly good at planning, too! My longhaired cat hated Petromalt, the salve that helps with hairballs. My shorthaired cat adored the stuff! I would have to catch the cat that needed it and smear it on his paw so he would lick it off, and ingest it. My shorthair would beg for it. One day, I dosed Taffy, who loved it, and after she had gotten her bit, she dashed off for the front hallway. Then I caught Phantom and smeared it on his paw. He took off running for the front hallway. Suspicious, I followed him. She was sitting there waiting for him to arrive. He sat, stuck out his paw and she licked it clean!! He didn't have to take the stuff, and she got two helpings! They had obviously planned this in advance! They knew I wouldn't approve, so they hid their little exchange from my view! I don't know how often they had done this before, but I put a stop to it.
That is hysterically funny, thanks for the smile.
Gotta love their deviousness!
Haha...those darn cats! Smart little buggers. ❤
Okay this is hilarious, those little stinkerd!
😂 At least it wasn't rubbed off on the carpet or furniture. Or yakked back up. My very long haired fluffs will absolutely NOT take the stuff.
He said "Hello, please produce your human greeting sounds in return".
It is possible
Good translation, I think that might be it. It looks to me like he enjoys his dad's morning chitter chatter and wants more of it. His Dad knows best tho and they'll figure it out. Fun to watch and learn!
I'm not convinced he's telling you to shut up.
I think he's trying to refer to a noise he heard earlier, but he just doesn't have the vocabulary to describe/identify it. You can see him frantically looking around at the buttons for a moment after you start answering him. This is where I think an "outside" button would be really helpful. Something to give Todd a way of identifying space outside the house.
Yes, he needs more descriptors.
I love all this cat conversation. I'm teaching my new cat a few words and hope to get buttons in a few months. I watch other cats with Fluent Pet buttons...wild !!
My cat seems to talk to me, too. I just don't always know what he's saying. Life is getting so interesting!
Yeah, definitely think "outside" should join upstairs and downstairs. I don't think he needs inside so much since he has the two floor locations to work with.
I agree. I taught the younger of my cats to use an "out" button to indicate he wants to be taken out to wander our backyard on his harness, but he recently started using it to tell me the neighbor's cat was out there. It took me a while to figure out why he was hitting "out" and then going to the window or refusing to go out the door!
Possible. When talking about previous events, he usually says the word followed by before.
He hasn't had his morning coffee catnip yet.
Catnip water, as Billi called coffee.
😆
This is exactly what happened when Kendra taught noise to Billi :'v I think we gotta give it some more time to properly figure out what he means, he might not have intended it negatively, but it is very funny to see it that way!
LOL Hamilton!
Though in that case, she also said "Ears ouch" or something similar. It was very clear. ;)
Yeah noise all done or something like that.
@@jenniferhanses they also turned off Hamilton and then turned it back on later and she said same thing,lol
I know this channel is about Todd, but boy do I miss Billi =(
@@tokensplashf3550 It is possible to love both Todd and Billi. I know Todd's dad loved Billi,too. He's said she was his inspiration to teach Todd.
:)
He may be trying to figure out what noise actually is - if all sounds are noise. That could be a tough one for him!
Possibly
I don't think Todd was shushing you, but rather he is trying to fully explore what noise is. Talking is certainly noise. I think he felt your reaction and felt bad cuz he then went to multiple hellos, love you and pets. What an empathic sweetheart. ❤
Todd is such a good boy.
I agree! It’s a new word for Todd and he’s trying to figure out the nuances.
Noise can be a loud sound and/or an annoying sound. It can also be a request to be quiet. Maybe Todd realized or even confirmed one of those and then wanted to assure you he didn’t want you to be quiet.
I have learned to speak several languages in my lifetime. I have experience with learning new words. It’s fascinating to watch Todd do the same.
Thank you!!
Possibly
Why not try adding the word not? Then you might get not noise or not happy. Or not upstairs.
@@DrDsHerehe has "no" already, and that can be used as "not." Why he didn't is anyone's guess 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe, instead of "Hello" "Noise" meaning "Be quiet", what Todd is saying is "Oh! 'Hello' is a sound!". He's exploring the concept that your greeting is audible.. Or perhaps he is saying "I hear you". There's a difference between the concept of 'noise' and 'sound'. Perhaps he's exploring that. Are cats capable of abstract thought? Good question to ponder.
Insightful. It's true that dogs and cats are capable of abstract thought and of understanding abstract meanings. So far, he only has the word 'noise' when he could use the word 'sound' as well.
That is possible
Maybe he was trying to confirm that voice sounds also count as "noise".
I was also wondering this.
That is how I interpreted it too. He was asking if voices, not just fireworks are noise.
So he interprets "noise" as meaning "sound "
I thought he was defining noise a bit further, too, to include talking.
Yes, noise is sound😂
I think he was saying hello and that he hears noise, like a conversational exchange
Possible, it was 5 am, dead quiet, and we were the only ones up
Todd's "Hello" at (2:15) might have been directed at Paulie.
That is possible
So "Hello noise" is sibling dis talk, like "Hello booger face" 😂
Maybe you could've asked him to confirm: dad noise, hm?
Yes, that would have been good but I was so shocked by it I didn't think about the follow up.
I agree with others. He was finding the parameters of the prompt. Like a toddler when you teach them a new idea or word.
With my nephew, after he learned the word dog, everything with 4 legs was a dog. Which made the trip to the zoo very hilarious and explanation intensive.
Talking is noise, meow is noise, cabinets are noise, cars are noise, computer start sound is noise.
All quadrupeds were dogs to one of my much-younger siblings too. Which was kinda of hilarious because we also had a cat. Another sibling went through a stage where any large bird was a duck. Including the pelicans we saw in the nearby port town we visited. When corrected, they became "pelican-duck"
Very possible. He dies have just one word for sound.
Isn't it lovely when we teach our children to talk? 😂
May favorites have been when he told me I didn't love him because I said he had to wait to be brushed and when he was frustrated with me and very quickly said Want Dad No. Lol
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks
What word-buttons did he use to tell you that you didn't love him?
@@cacatr4495 Love You No Love You all within about 3 or 4 seconds. Lol
I'm guessing he now regards "noise" as hear/sound/voice. So "hello noise " may stand for "l heard your hello" or "that hello you said is also a sound".
It's possible
Noise can be used for sound. "Ouch noise" can be used for loud or noxious noises.
Yes it can
No noise until he's had his catnip water. I get it.
Lol 😊
I am not so sure that Todd was telling you to be quiet. Maybe he hears a thunderstorm. My cat lets me know that a storm is coming long before it reaches my neighborhood.
How does your cat communicate that?
She has a peculiar cry that she only makes when she hears thunder from a distance, and that distance can be well over thirty miles.
@@buyerbware25
Wow! Animals are truly amazing, and we continue to underestimate them, even when we think we know them.
All possibilities, but it was clear and dry, 5 am and very quiet
Todd is an amazing cat. I think he enjoys communicating with you
Lol like an alien trying to communicate 😂 "and a 'hello noise' to you, too!"
"Hello noises my old friend, I've come to talk with you again" was my first thought
😊
Maybe he meant noise *before* during the night. Snoring? 😂
Possibly, but he will usually follow the word with before when talking about past events
I think he is trying to better grasp "noise". It is really cute. His whole body language wood be different if he wanted you to shut up.
Possibly
I think he meant your getting ready activity is noise as he doesn’t have any other way to explain it.
Def agreeing with those saying he’s defining the larger concept of noise
Yes, noise will encompass all sound like Mad does for all negative emotions
i think he was saying he likes the hello noises, he likes the hello noise! and wants more hello noises!
That is possible
Or maybe he's learned that everything he can hear is a noise.
That is possible
He’s so precious. Audience love Todd.
Thank you
I think it was sort of like, "Hi Dad, that's a lot of words for my kitty-ears before I've even had my morning mousie..." ;)
I was thinking Coffee, for me, but yes!
😄
maybe he understands noise as I hear something (you) and not as rude as we would interper
That's very possible
Less talking, more petting...☘️🍀💚
😊
You have three gorgeous cats! Todd has such a sweet heart. I love your relationship.
Thank you so much!
Lol, that is too funny! Maybe he was testing to see if saying Noise would produce noise, or maybe he was asking if Hello counted as Noise? It was so cute. And then I loved him being his usual affectionate self after he finished experimenting with the new button.
Testing to see if it would produce noise is an interesting theory. Ive only ever seen cats use it to complain about loud noises but it wouldnt surprise me if Todd did like some noises too. Sometimes animals will enjoy certain types of music for example, maybe he wanted some background music lol
@@iceshadow01But don't try Hamilton as his first foray into music appreciation. 😉😃
They are possibilities
His ears are back with the second “noise”. I wonder if he’s remembering his dislike for noise, or it’s not really what he wants to communicate. Also, he said “pets” as you were giving them to Paulie; he may be just acknowledging what he sees and not asking for pets. 🤷♀️
He has a mad button, doesn’t he?
Oh he definitely has a mad button. 😹
I didn't catch the ears back. For Todd, that usually means he pressed an incorrect button
Maybe he was just referring to morning greetings as "hello noise".
It is possible
My cat puts his paw on my mouth when he wants me to shut up!😊
Lol! I had a cat that would do that when I was a teenager. She would sleep on the pillow right next to my face and if I snored too loud I would wake up with a paw in my mouth. Lol
Todd had just got up and wasnt ready for conversation yet 😂 i feel you todd
😄
My cat tells me to be quiet in meows. I need this system for her. It would be hilarious to hear her tell me to be quiet in my voice. I'm glad you laughed. So did I!
Todd is so sweet and calm when he gets sassy it is funny. I try my best not to laugh as I don't want to hurt his feelings but it is really hard not to sometimes
Oh that was absolutely adorable and had me laughing
Thank you
His ears flicked back in irritation when you said you would be quiet, but not when you said Hello Paulie immediately after. He really wasn’t telling you to be quiet!
It is possible
I’m obsessed with Paulie 😍
HE is a good boy, so sweet
I love the way that Paulie perches on that chair to get a good (and safe) place to watch all the action. 🙂
You can see how much you love your kitties. It fills my heart with joy. I have a 14 year old kitty and he is smart as a whip. I think he could learn the buttons but it might be a little late.
Not if he is Interested. The cat that inspired Todd and I was 12 when she started and made it to 70 words.
I don't know if your boy is playing less with age, but one thing that happened for Billi (the inspirational cat) was that she started playing more by being able to ask for specific toys when she felt like playing.
With the buttons Todd has been able to create new toys by naming two toys in a row that Dad then makes into one toy which Todd delightedly plays with.
Can’t deside if he heard something outside or if he infact was letting you know he was not fully woken up yet and liked some quietness
Noise might have meant loud. In the morning I prefer much more quiet voices too.
Both are possibilities
Don’t take it personally, I think he is hearing something else!😮🐈⬛💝🌟
I don't and it is possible
I think he was glad to hear you and then wanted to hear you more.
It is possible
I am thinking he is saying 'hello noise' as introducing it
It is possible
Todd needs a mug that says "don't talk to me before I've had my Catnip" 😂😂
😄
he's so sweet and fluffy-wuffy I just wanna pet him so bad
He would let you, he loves affection
Dad is such a sweetheart
Aww, thank you
I think he needs a button that says "talk to me". He might be saying he likes your morning "noise" (conversation) and is asking for more of it. Great job with the kitters! It's hugely beneficial for pet owners and so called animal science and "experts" to see how intelligent animals can be. Animal intelligence has been massively underestimated and under rated. Pets to Todd!
Possibly
Todd was looking down the hallway a lot before he said noise. Maybe he was hearing something else. He could also be naming noises that he hears in the background.
Possibly, nit another going on at 5 am. Glamour came up the stairs
You are such a good steward!
Thank you
Lol, it’s funny how precious Todd can be!
He really is 😊
I can hear todd purring when u pick him up and start kissing him. He is such a sweet boy. ❤❤❤ nala loves when i give her morning kisses on command and pets. She will "cuddle" (kisses, pets, hugs) on my chest also in the morning and evening. Padme purrs ALL the time with any attention
That's so sweet
I think Todd’s hungover this morning 🤣 Like a few others have said, I think he perhaps heard something outside and didn’t know how to explain. He might still be a bit jumpy after all the fireworks on the 4th.
“Love you, yes” made me go awe… he’s such a sweet cat ❤
That's possible. Yes, the Love You Yes got me too.
noise for Todd = significant sound
your voice is a significant sound to Todd
Possibly
Well if Todd was human, I would say he hadn't had his morning coffee lol.
😄
I think Hello noise was his way of repeating all that you said after saying hello.
Possibly
Todd must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed!
😄
I think he is further defining noise. Yes, voice is noise. Music is noise. Kitchen sounds are noise. Etc.
Possibly
Where noise, would be good question.
Yes it would. I was too stunned at the time to think of it.
He is too precious ❤
Thank you
He like his new button. 💟💜
Yes, loves them
You are the best cat dad❤️
Aww, thank you so much.
Such a good cat dad! ❤
Thank you
I agree I think he was trying to understand the difference between morning noise which would be hello noise vs other times of the day. If he said goodbye hello that would have meant that he wasn't wanting to talk. You should give him morning button and a night button so he can tell times of the day.
It seems to me, that this kitty is truly genuinely experimenting with a new button. Learning what counts as noise and what doesn’t.
Fascinating!
I now think that is what was happening here as well
I just discovered Todd and the gang the other day and I can't get enough. I love watching Todd's behavior and all of his antics. He's such a cheeky little fellow. 😀🥰
Thank you, I'm glad you are here. Todd is an amazing little man
💕 I am so fascinated. What a lovely thing to communicate even more with our furry littles.
It is truly wonderful and Todd loves to be able to tell me his wants and needs. His favorite time is when he is getting more buttons and learning more words.
To me at least it seems like he's associating sounds to the word rather than telling you to be quiet. Like he's hearing a sound and saying that's noise/sound.
IT is possible, it was 5am and very quiet
Lol Todd reminds me of someone with a hangover when someone says good morning and they say can you keep it down don't make so much noise 😹😻💞
😄
I was also wondering if Todd wasn't quite ready for some "Noise" yet. 😅 And Paulie looks so cute in that position on the chair. ❤️
It is possible, and thank you 😊
I see Noise is getting to be a fast favourite
😊
Todd has a sense of humour 😂
I think he does
Todd just needs his morning coffee first XD
lol
Morning is for coffee and contemplation.
😄
I love Todd😊
Aww, thank you 😊
I wonder if he was asking or thinking about the noise from the fireworks. Maybe wondering if that noise would be back again? Agree, I don't think he was telling Dad to pipe down. 😻 He is usually very direct when he wants something done: 'Treats. Now.' 🥰
That is possible
It must take you hours to get ready for work!!😆😆😆
It can seem like it, but spending time with the kitties makes everyone happy
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks for sure. Must be very hard to leave them. They’re all gorgeous. 😻😻😻
Sassy little boi!!! 🤣🤣🤣
He can be. Lol
Yes I think he was just using noise for meaning talking to you! ❤️🙏🏻👍🏻
It is possible
Too funny!
😄
I see your other cat…that’s sweet
Thank you, There are three total 😊
“Good morning Todd!”
“Hello Noise” lmao
Lol
Hahaha Todd is funny
😆
Wow smart cat ❤
Thank you
Don’t talk to Todd until he’s had his coffee ;-D
Lol. He did seem a little grumpy. He may have been a little off.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks he is such a lovely caring boy 😍
I also wonder if he was welcoming Paulie and Glamour.
Maybe
Todd is so sweet and so are you! 💕 Hi from Canada 🍁
Aww, thank you! Hello!
LOL! Oh that is too much! Be careful what you wish for in giving Todd new buttons/words to learn and use. 😁 Of course we can't know for sure what Todd was thinking when he pushed the noise button. And Paulie getting some loving too!
Thank you😊
So cute to watch! I am sub to Bunny, Billy and alot of talking pets, and i have two awesome kitty girls myself, and want to say what ppl seems so underestimate animals! They much much much cleverer than a lot of humans for sure!
Yes, I have always believed animals are so much smarter than people give them credit for. Thank you and I'm glad you are here!
it's okay Todd we all wake up on wrong side of bed from time to time, good dad found the humor in it. Is that Paulies favorite place to lay in that room? He really seems to like that chair and hanging on that arm of it.
Dad got a good chuckle out of it.
Greetings, sounds!
😊
Unbelievable cute piesllllllllll Cats.
Thank you
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Ok .
Aah, just like kids - spend the first 18 months teaching them to speak and then the rest of your life to be quiet😮😊😅
😄
Dogs & Cats DO understand more than we think. Niles, one of our dogs. knew when it was his, "Treat Time". 9:30 at night, he would sit right beside one if us.
They have a great sense of time.
Wow he tell you to be quiet it could be some sound he doesn't like 😊😊😊😊
Possibly
I think Todd meant 'make noise' as in 'talk to me'. And when he said pets he was recognising that Paulie was getting pets
I think he was identifying (or trying to communicate) the concept of a greeting. As in "that's the hello noise". He hears it from you a lot, so maybe he's trying to acknowledge that it too is a noise, but specifically the hello noise.
