I somehow got the impression, that both the others were expecting Todd to ask for help with getting the treats.... But then, he maybe remembered, that he still had something left in the morning mousey.... Glamour looked very much ready for some "kitty-sweets" - but when time passed, and Todd just wanted some cuddles - Glamour moved away.... "Not then...." - The bonus Glamour was so cute!
That was so lovely. Everyone came around for a pat. Glamour licking Todd's tail was cute. The way the three of them were around makes me wonder if the "help" wasn't for the others. Maybe they wanted something. Loved the video of cute Glamour kitten. 💚🐱🐈
Baby Glamor!! How Sweet!! Somehow kitties find joy and fun in the simple things, and we, find such joy and love just watching and enjoying their adorable antics 💕after Todd had his cuddle session, he was “happy”. How precious is that?!🌷🐈⬛
My puppy played with the puppy of a speech pathologist yesterday. I convinced her to buy Fluent pet, as she’s about to retire soon. She said those buttons have been an amazing tool for her students!. 🥰
This one is a mystery. Whatever he needed help with wasn’t urgent. I found it super interesting how Pauline and Glamour are clueing in that Todd is able to effectively communicate with you...either they too wanted ‘help & comfort’ or know that Todd can activate your treat giving. That video of Glamour as a kitten was super special. She’s adorable. Thanks for sharing it!
I think you are right that Todd wanted Help with his Mousey, because he went right over to it after you had stopped petting him. And it's so sweet when he tells you he's Happy. Glamour's kitten video was adorable! 😊
I think you are spot on with your guess about the mousy and his kibble. About 1:25 when your hand moved near the mousy he pricked his ears. And at 1:29 he stared at the kibble dispenser. Such a huge concession by Glamour!!! At 1:46 she make a start at grooming Todd's tail.
Hi Greg! Thanks for the video. A classic case of responding to the first button he pressed too soon, I think. Maybe if you’d waited, he’d have said what he wanted help with. Anyway, whatever it was can’t have been bothering him too much or he’d have tried asking for help again but instead asked for cuddles and we got to hear his motor ❤ Then he pressed happy so clearly all was right with the world by then 😃 Thanks for the bonus kitten video of Glamour, too 😻
It’s interesting to see which animals can and do “point” or respond to human pointing, and which don’t. One thing I’ve noticed with cats is that they do often “gesture” with quite soft, subtle moves, like body orientation or looking at something. They don’t seem to know like some dogs do, how to catch your eye and do a “meaningful look” at whatever it is they want you to pay attention to - yet they often do still look, but sometimes very briefly. Or lead you in its general direction. Or just they drift nearer to it, but looking at you instead of it.
I love that Todd is so cuddly with his hooman are Glamour and Paulie as cuddly as he is ? love seeing the footage of Glamour as a kitten she was and still is so cute
Todd is the most cuddly. Paulie loves to be petted, and Glamour is Spicy. Unless you are sure of her mood, it's best to ask permission before touching.
Just a guess, but maybe Todd knows you will come right away when he says help, and he had knowledge from the other two that they wanted attention as well. Because you were swarmed as soon as you answered his help call, by all three! He is so kind and generous to his housemates, I wouldn't put it past him. Looks like Glamour had to grow into her tail! That's a big, fluffy tail for 3mo old!
We have to really pay attention to what they are saying and work with them on how to say it. Most cats communicate very well without the aid of buttons.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks I’d rather hear that Harley cat is anxious and going to spray urine before he feels compelled to act it out! What a pleasure to discover your videos today!
I wonder if Todd is trying to figure out what "help" means, exactly. He didn't seem in any distress. He knows you'll come over if he asks for help. I'm sure you'll all sort it out. The Glamour home movie was cute - they have such fun when they're little. :) Everything is fascinating.
After watching the video just before he asked for help he was trying to get the last of the kibble out of his Mousey. I think he was asking for me to help him get it out.
At the start of the video look where Todd is looking. Then right before he walks over to the help button. I think he looks where his fishy treats are. Then, as others have mentioned when he realized he had some treaties still in his mousey that became a viable solution.
I need help because I accidentally clawed up the edge on my board. Then Glamour bit my tail. Then my mousey was acting up. I’m having such a bad day. 😺
6:27 New Subbie here! I also sub to other dogs and cats online using these buttons. Here's my thing: I don't care if it is a push-reward response. It's another way to communicate with our fur babies. FWIW? I think it starts out that way, but ends up more as human and animal learn together. P.S. Todd should be getting a kickback bc the other 2 cats obviously realize that they don't have to learn a 2nd language! Just hang out when Todd hits the buttons and something good usually happens for all. 😂❤ -🌴 just me in Palm Springs 🌴
Glamour, at about 4:35 -- "I've had Enough of this sickening P.D.A." (Todd, at about the same Moment in Time -- "Cuddles, they iz Good for what Ails yuh.")
The only thing he was doing just before he said “help”, was flexing his claws…might have been a caught claw-though it was not at all clear. Then the other cats distracted him maybe he forgot what he wanted help with? Later he got his mouse treats but that was a while later!
That was interesting to speculate on Todd’s use of the Help button. For use humans it might mean an emergency or urgent problem like his use of the Ouch button. But here he did not seem too stressed, so your observation about help with getting the last kibble out of his Mousey makes a lot of sense. Guess we will need mor videos of his using Help to see what this button means to him. Thanks for the kitten bow of Glamour! Was she an only kitty at this time?
I just found your channel and watching your videos makes me happy. I plan to teach my corgi to use buttons. Question: do Glamour and Paulie ever talk with the buttons?
First off, welcome! Im glad you are here. No, I have offered and continue to offer it to them, but they are not interested at all. Feel free to ask any questions you have, I will help if I can.
Seemed to me it was a issue they seemed to think did not need immidiate attension or even attension at all could be he ment something he or the two others needed help with later on
lol It looked like you called it with the mousey being the help target. That Glamour clip is adorable, it reminded me of a cat we rescued and fostered out. He'd been stuck in a cone for months, and when he was finally free, his tail was his favorite toy. We made a video about his time with us up to his adoption. The start shows his wounds, which were pretty graphic, but you can skip to the tail content after he's freed of his confines around the 2:30 mark: th-cam.com/video/KiktC6nwloU/w-d-xo.html
Yes, he has ouch and body parts buttons. He has used them to let me know there was an issue with his mouth in the past which the vet confirmed and fixed.
Ture, it is a word from his latest group he received. He is still getting the concept down. I am hoping to get him to understand it is for anything he needs assistance with.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks thats a toughy, sorry i haven't replied to your big comment. was in hospital and unable to focus. i will get to it, for sure. i know coconut is teaching ME how to use the buttons. he is focusing on 'red bird', which is strange, as 'red bird' is not a thing to him. he has bird, but red bird has no reward. that reminds me, i need to make a red bird reward.
❤😊

Paulie is sweet.
😻
😊

What gorgeous kitties!❤😺🐾
Thank you
It was nice seeing Glamour casually lick Todd's tail.
It was 😊

Help to Todd might mean attention as in pay attention (to me)
Possibly. After seeing the video I think he wanted me to get the last of his kibbles out of his Monsey

I agree, I love watching the pure joy of any kind of children playing. Yes, Todd was very happy after his cuddles.
😊
Its adorable that todd asks help- dad glamour and paulie gather around to figure it out😂
😊
I love how Todd loves to cuddle with Dad. Glamour was such a sweet little girl!
😊
Loved seeing Glamour as a youngster!
I know, I was so glad when I found the old videos of her.
1:46 Glamour XD
😊
My puppy played with the puppy of a speech pathologist yesterday. I convinced her to buy Fluent pet, as she’s about to retire soon. She said those buttons have been an amazing tool for her students!. 🥰
That's awesome
It was Christina Hunger who is A speech pathologist, who started this whole thing with her dog Stella!
I had to smile when you got down on the floor.and.all three cats came towards you. Loved the video.of Glamour as a kitten!
Thank you! 😊
1:45 Glamour!!

Same. When Dad responded to Todd’s “help” the other two came running!! Then Todd was “happy” when they were together. 😻😻😻
😊
Something tells me whatever Todd needed help with was cured with some pets. That motor!
I think you are right that Todd wanted Help with his Mousey, because he went right over to it after you had stopped petting him. And it's so sweet when he tells you he's Happy. Glamour's kitten video was adorable! 😊
Thank you 😊
Chair cuddles, the best. LOVE the bonus.
Thank you
Help with cuddles and a cat confab!!😂😂😂😂
😊
The clip of Glamour as a kitten was so cute.
Thank you
Love you Dad Cuddles Todd. Happy. 💕💕💕
😊
I love how Glamour and Paulie come more into the spotlight lately 🙂 They are so adorable!
Thay are, thank you 😊
I think you are spot on with your guess about the mousy and his kibble. About 1:25 when your hand moved near the mousy he pricked his ears. And at 1:29 he stared at the kibble dispenser.
Such a huge concession by Glamour!!! At 1:46 she make a start at grooming Todd's tail.
It was sweet
All 3 of the kitts are so sweet. The clip of baby Glamour at the end was unbelievably adorable. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome 😊
Glamour is aptly named. She is exquisite. Does Paulie get jealous of Todd's time with Dad?
No, he is a chill cat. Flamour and Rodd are bonded to me, Paulie is bonded to my wife

Looking at the video, I think he wanted me to get the last of the kibbles out of his mousey.
Glamour reminds me of our baby, The Dude. We never thought he'd grow into his tail and whiskers - but he did! She is so cute.
Thank you

Yes, cats are much more subtle with their gestures

Todd is the most cuddly. Paulie loves to be petted, and Glamour is Spicy. Unless you are sure of her mood, it's best to ask permission before touching.
Glamour is 15?! She seems so spry and young still!
Yes, she is 15 and is definitely slowing down, has arthritis, and is losing her vision. She is still just as spicy as ever, though 🙂
Help, need urgent attention and affirmation that dad loves me 😽
Lol
I love the plaintive note in your voice on the 'Help' button 😆
Yes, that is intentional. Todd understands words and they way you say them. I thought it might help him understand the word.
Thanks for this video
You are welcome 😊
Interesting how Glamour and Paulie showed up right after Todd pushed the Help button. Hmmmm. And that old footage of a young Glamour was so cute!
Thank you
Aww, sweet baby Glamour 🥰
😊

Yes, Glamour had to grow into her tail. She's getting old, and her fur is thinning out.
Sweet kitty Glamour, that was a fun clip!
Thank you
Awwwwww baby Glamour ❤❤❤
😊
How glorious Todd can communicate so clearly what he wants. I wish my 5 cats could be so clear about what they want from me at any given time.
We have to really pay attention to what they are saying and work with them on how to say it. Most cats communicate very well without the aid of buttons.

He afraid tell you he lost he's toy 😮

Maybe Todd was feeling generally needy and hadn't settled on cuddles as the solution yet.

Maybe a nugget was stuck in mousey?
I think that's what he wanted help with
ALL THE CATS KEEP FOLLOWING YOU MAYBE THEY ALL WANT A SNACK OR TREAT.
Possibly
I wonder if Todd sees that you have your badge on and he thinks that you are going to go soon so he is trying to trick you into staying?
It's possible
Maybe the other 2 needed help.
Possibly
Seemed to me it was a issue they seemed to think did not need immidiate attension or even attension at all could be he ment something he or the two others needed help with later on
Possibly. After seeing the video, I thought it may have been to help get the last of the kibble out of the mousey.
I kind of feel every thing stopped up when the siblings showed up. So what ever it was , he didn’t wanted to share anything anymore. In my opinion.
Looking at the video, I think he wanted me to get the last of the kibbles out of his mousey.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks well if that’s what you’re seeing you’re probably right
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Given that he managed to get a kibble out by himself later, it wasn't an urgent help request.
Clearly he needs a button for "my scratching pulled loose one of the black borders on my hexes" but that is a bit wordy for a button, I'll admit.
Lol
lol It looked like you called it with the mousey being the help target.

What a wonderful story with a happy end. Yes, he did look like Glamour chasing his tail. Thank you for fostering him until he had his home!
Did you se Glamour lick Todd’s tail? 💕
Yes, it was very sweet 😊
How did you teach him "Help"?
It's all modeling. Here is an example. th-cam.com/video/nNr5Ezg8GKw/w-d-xo.html
Glamour was an adorable baby 🥰
Yes she was
That would make me crazy knowing he needs help but not knowing why.
Does he have an ouch or pain or injury button?
Yes, he has ouch and body parts buttons. He has used them to let me know there was an issue with his mouth in the past which the vet confirmed and fixed.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Praise God! That's great news. Thanks for letting me know.
'help' is such an open ended statment. it could mean anything. it doesn't even mean it's todd that needs help. or wants help.
Ture, it is a word from his latest group he received. He is still getting the concept down. I am hoping to get him to understand it is for anything he needs assistance with.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks thats a toughy,
