- It’s been a while since we’ve had this kind of “mad” storm without resolution! Still no clue why she was mad, but those pets calmed her down at least.
Billi is a female domestic shorthair, she's 13 years old, her favorite word is mad.
Inspiration for learning to “speak” with buttons from Hunger4Words (check her out on IG).

The fact that she wanted pets after expressing her anger makes me think of how a lot of kids want that too. Sometimes it's a bad day and you throw a fit, and what you really need is not to be punished, but just have some affection
You make it sound like this is real.
@@iamperplexed4695 It's totally real, did you see how mad that cat was?
@@iamperplexed4695 It is
I do that as an adult
@@neartzim4240 lol
Clearly it takes 22 presses to adequately convey her frustration 😆
It be like that some days 🤷🏾♀️ just replace Billi's "Mads" with "damns" and it me 😆
Who knows a cat can be this poetic?
and still did not get a pet. poor girl!
@@kickDustPedestrian She got lots of pets!
So mad, she can't speak.
When she says she's mad, washes her hand, and then says she's mad again, I felt that.
It’s the agressive way she did it too. God I’m gonna miss her sass.
I'm currently 19 and, like many teenagers (or so I've been told), I sometimes get mad for little to no reason. When this happens, I just send my mom a short video of Billi hitting her mad button so she knows how I'm feeling.
Did she give you a hug after that?
@@msmaria5039 she does indeed
Thats is very cute and sweet
You should have bought a mad button and send your mom a video of you pressing that button
I think you should get your own mad button!
I literally just had this exact conversation with my mother.
😂😂😂😂
😁😁😁
Same. Only this conversation seemed to be more structured...
🤗🤣😂😂
@Sarah Bailey oh I was definitely Billi lol
“Let’s give pets the intelligence to tell us how they feel!”
Everyone claps, awards are issued.
Then several weeks later,
“Mad. Mad. Mad. Mad. Mad. Mad”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You'd have to be so stupid to think that a cat knows what "mad" means...cats don't speak our fucking language, they do no not understand words other than food and their name and hand gestures, this cat is just pressing a random button, it could be pressing one that says "sad" and the owner would start to think that it's depressed...hey guy, your cat isn't talking to you...
@@yesdude3914 sounds like someone needs a turn with the 'mad' button
@@yesdude3914 ...Bruh. The same concept applies to this with the food, name and hand gestures. It's simple word association in their mind. To be able to tell if this was accurate or not, you'd need to know what training the cat had with the buttons. Not to mention, the description notes this as having happened before. For all we know, this time, it could've just been for attention, but you're gonna need to look into this more if you want to be able to call a lot of people stupid, buddy.
@@yesdude3914 who in the Smash Bros roster do you think would logically run the best brothel?
All cats should have a Owner Verbal Training board. The fact that the owner is well trained and able to respond to the verbal prompts is definitely impressive!
Well the cat obviously doesnt understsnd what the noise means u grt thst right?
@@JR-zi9vj They just associate it with something usual
I think the issue is that you're responding to an "anger" word like she is a human. When she is actually mad she would want you to leave her alone, but because of your attentive response whenever she hits "mad", she has now associated "mad" with "look at me now", rather than actual anger.
That’s possible. But it’s way more entertaining to believe she was throwing a temper tantrum. Also, kids and pets often express anger to their parents where they can be seen and reacted to.
That makes sense. She wanted attention. Sometimes anger is used that way.
I think the whole idea of trying to teach your cat to act and feel like a human is delusional itself.
It's a great experiment for sure, but birds are smarter than cats and even they don't understand the concepts of human feelings.
Not trying to be mean, but people who do this kind of thing really need to get their own kids, it's like they've decided to settle for rising animals instead which doesn't really help their mental health.
@@rRekko speak for yourself. I have both. Honestly my cat listens better. Maybe you don’t have the smartest cat but animals are far smarter than we give them credit for. My cat is the best.
@@rRekko Animals can 100% be mad, and a whole array of emotions, they aren't limited to humans.
At this point, maybe she's just brand-aware
😂😂😂😂 she knows what the people want
Yes!! I am the people.
@@BilliSpeaks Billi means "cat" in Hindi language. Just letting you know 😂
@@indiankid8601 I'm sure they know
I think perhaps Billie understands the word "Mad" as meaning "I want immediate attention", it was one of the first words she learned, and as a result she may not fully comprehend the emotional connection, but realizes there is an immediate & colorful response from Mom when it is pressed. Impulsive and surprised response from mom in the beginning of training with Mad button may have confused Billie"s understanding of the Mad button; not signifying frustration but requiring "right this second" mom response. I think Billie's Mad button maybe representative of "mom look at me, come see what i"m doing". Billie"s whiskers do not signify frustration or anger, but attentiveness and anxiety.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing!! Her eyes weren't slotted and her tail wasn't lashing. Her fur was relaxed too. Clearly a cat that wants attention, not space.
I was just thinking how did Billy learn to associate a word and a button with a rather complex emotional state he experiences but unlikely can describe with much sophistication. But if instead he associates the word with any feeling that makes him want soothing and then receive attention and soothing when he presses this button, it would make sense how he learned it.
Ya think???😂 I agree?! She is enjoying the one way conversation.
This is a bit like my cat asking for food, but doesn't eat it and only wanted an interaction with me.
Nah, it's just a cat. Can't connect a symbol with abstract thoughts.
A cat learning a 20 something symbols language would be in the news.
The cat is just pressing buttons and the woman is just imagining a meaning...
The “sitting facing away from you” to express “mad” in more than one way 👍
It’s like she’s a toddler who is upset but can’t explain why until love is given and the world is in balance again. ❤️
In case anyone's confused, she's mad.
😁
😆🤣😂
thank you for clarifying, i’m not confused anymore
Thanks. I wasn't sure. 😂
I was so confused thanks!
I laughed out loud when Billi pressed the "Billi" button right after you said, "Well, that's a bit dramatic!" That seemed very appropriate, as if to say, "Dramatic? have you not met me?"
I thought the same!
"Dramatic? Don't you know who I am?!" xD
Lmfao
I thought it was because she said "you are dramatic" and they mistook it and said "no my name is Billi"
The way she turns her back, then looks over her shoulder with an icy glare is pure Drama Queen! I think I felt those daggers she shot from her steely gaze.
Give her whatever her Majesty's heart desires, NOW!
❤
The fact this cat understands and communicates his feelings is awesome
She’s mad because she doesn’t have any other words to describe her feelings and she doesn’t appreciate that you just laugh at her frustration.
I relate to Billi so much. I don’t announce it to the world, but I do randomly get mad. Like grit my teeth mad at quite literally nothing.
Owner: **showers with unconditional love*^
Billy: **MAD x27**
Billi: “I am untethered, and my rage knows no bound…”. Too cute😂
Anger is no starter car...
It's a vehicle for gods.
For the Golden God!
@@gaaberu5728 that's a 5 star cat
Owner: what, where you gonna call be a bird?
Cat: shut up, bird. It’s not funny when you say it.
@@lisaadams8091 6/5 stars you mean
Just gave this the 1000th like. :)
What I’ve learned from this is I already read my cats mind, they don’t need buttons to tell me, lol.
If you can't read a cat, you probably shouldn't be taking care of one. They tell you if you pay attention.
@@ZedF86 That's not exactly true..people can be pretty good cat owners without fully knowing what their cat means. Most understand basic cues but advanced things tends to be reserved for those who REALLY pay attention. How well you read your pet is irrelevant as long as you take good care of them and can notice when they're not feeling well, knowing more tends to better help but it's not quite necessary and with so many cats in the world who don't have homes barring more from homes with "unless you can read their mind or know cat sign language don't own one" wouldn't really help much...especially when every cat communicates slightly differently, and a first time cat owner will likely struggle a bit and not fully know cat body language (they'll learn over time everyone does), so by what you're saying people who've never owned cats apparently can't own them as they're not experienced in cat body language? Gotta be careful with nitpicks and how far you take them
The fact that he kept pressing the mad button wanting the human to guess what he wanted was absolutely hilarious
I literally just say "mad" now whenever I'm slightly inconvenienced.
It is likely effective to get people to inconvenience you less... Especially if you are a big guy. 🤣
@@jstanton4561 oh noo, I'm just a wee lass lol
I did that just yesterday! And you know what, it did kind of help. I could get a button for myself and just wear it around my neck all day. 🤣
@@cc1k435 It does help! You can say it as much as you need to until you feel better! Lol
Omg, me too! My husband thinks it’s funny. Mostly because my maiden initials are cat
I love how when Billi is asked why she's mad she's just like - "No reason, only Mad."
Understandable
Cat moment
I can relate. I spend most of my time mad for no explainable reason.
It do be like that sometimes
Sometimes I don’t even know why I’m mad or upset or anxious! So just being aware that she is indeed mad and telling her owner w a button word is cool🙌🏼
I felt that one. I've been mad for awhile now without knowing exactly why. I wish I could get some pets!!
She may simply associate mad to not happy, leaving a full range of emotions and sensations that could represent.
She's a smart cat and is doing great communicating her point.
We have seen billi in some other videos accurately pressing mad when she was actually angry.. but I think here she just wanted to make mom laugh, and knows is she presses mad mom will laugh. I dont blame mom, i would laugh too. It is like an instant funny button.
I was just thinking it'd been a while since Billi treated us to a "mad"
She's been conserving her anger.
Billi more than MADe up for it with this rage vid😹
i more think he is trying to figure out what it means. he clearly looks around waiting for stuff to happen.
Dogs CAN DO THAT TOO.

The cat seems content and maybe she should just stop scamming.
LOL! We all have those days when everything makes us MAD! She is the cutest mad cat ever. Billi is raging against the machine. But pets make everything better.

Are you sure Billi isn't a Cheshire Cat?
Because clearly, we're all mad here.
Touche 😊.
Or maybe her name is Billi Loomis? Because we all go a little mad sometimes.
Or...maybe Billi is secretly a MAD agent working for Dr. Claw.
Wowzers!
😆
Either that or her last name is Eilish.
She's a mad guy, duh!
🏆
Is it, I wonder, that when Billi presses "Mad", she knows she'll get attention? She never tells you *why* she's mad because she isn't---she just wants you to stick around!
Yeah they seem to create their own language with the buttons. Billi saw a cat outside once. Billi pressed "Billi" and "outside." Meaning there's another Billi outside. Cats don't know what names are. It's like that cat from Coraline who said "We don't use names."
you are exactly right. Most animals know some words, but not as words, but as sounds that elicit reactions from us. My dog knows so many things it astounds me and a lot I have not taught her. She is very observant, reads body language and tone extremely well and appears to understand what is happening most of the time. This cat wanted something, he knew if he pushed a button he would get a reaction regardless of which button he pushed.
I’ve had cats. They knew their names, the names of the other cat, the dogs, etc. These days I have dogs and a horse. They all know each other’s names.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 Animals are really good at that. My dog used to be very sick and would tear up furniture. I'd come home and "SON OF A BITCH!" Nearly daily before we finally figured out what was making her sick and acting that way. The other day I dropped a glass and said the words. She came up tail tucked apologizing. Guess I should say I never hit her for eating furniture, but she figured out I didn't like coming home and seeing what she tore up day after day for a year.
@@PsychicIsaacs All three of my cats think their names are "hey there" in a high chirping kinda call. Started when they were outdoor strays, and I'd say "hey there" to greet them...then i noticed some would come over when i said it even if they were already around, and thus discovered I could use it to call them from great distances. I have 3 of them now as indoor cats and they still come running into the room if i call them that way, or circle me mewling if they're already there. It's funny when two are already there but I'm calling the third, and the two act so confused about why I'm calling them from 2 feet away.
A pure embroiled fiery cyclone of rage and suffering and agony.
Cat's POV: "Usually posing these buttons gets me food. I don't know what's going on."
I'm guessing she's learned that pressing 'mad' gets her extra attention.
Yeah. Cats and dogs being able to learn the "outside" "pets" and "play" buttons seems really plausible to me, but it seems like the emotion words would be a little bit too abstract. It's still cute though, and best way to encourage Billi is to treat it like communication.
The way it sounds like she’s pressing those buttons so loudly too lmao
rest in peace billi, you brought me so much joy with these mad videos
I find it adorable she wanted to finish her sentence.
Pet Billi.
But you interrupt her with the pets and she's all like....no no...I wasn't done talking. lol So cute. Even kitties need to be allowed the time to say what's on their minds. Very inspiring.
Billi on the inside: “all the combined forces of all the oceans tides and every storm that was, is, or ever will be does not begin to compare to the force of furious anger that grows inside me moment by moment, mother”
Billi on the outside: “mad. mad. mad.”

She's mad that you don't even know what you've done to upset her and that makes her even more upset 😂😂
Right! My cat says: Same, Billi. That's so annoying.
I relate to this hard
Diffently a "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID" vibe here....😬
Similar to what’s happened with my cat the past few days.
Saki: *yell-meow* 5x
Me: What’s wrong?
Saki: *gets up on something* *yells more*
Me: Do you want something? *checks food, litter, water* Toy? Play? Treat?
Saki: *turns her back* *yell-meows resume, in greater volume*
Me: ????
Good to know that sometimes, even the buttons can’t translate Cat properly.
@Serafili Rose My cat does the same sometimes! She's been given everything she asked for, and then she just keeps yelling, and I have no idea what the issue is. I had thought about her having buttons, but I wouldn't even know what words to use for those episodes.
And they would only fear her, knowing her as "the mad slayer"
Chills! Billi is being heard!♡
This one really had me laughing, completely lost it after the quick "cleaning break" and then right back to smashing MAD. Oh, sweet Billi, I wonder what was on your mind 🐈
Same 😂
I think the folliw up questions could have been a bit better, but I don't speak cat
She is sick of being filmed without permission.
I found the cleaning break very interesting. I notice cats clean randomly after they make what humans find to be embarrassing mistakes. I wonder If she got embarrassed realizing she didn't know what she was upset about. or If that was the beginning of her transitioning out of that mood.
@@yomama1254 they generally only clean when relaxed and comfortable afaik. I could be wrong tho
Aww, poor baby. Sometimes the stress of everything gets to you, and you just gotta let yourself be angry at everything for no reason until you can calm down.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘
yes, was like that yest constantly dropping the F bomb in my mind and pondering why we even use that word in this fashion..... I have a different problem today, lol.
God bless
It isn’t for no reason. She is annoyed at being filmed.
Yeah it must be so stressful being a cat.
All this cat is thinking about is "wait, I usually get food when I press a button" 🐱
You are such a great mother to her! She is expressing herself as an individual to you more than some kids can to their parents these days. I do respect u a lot.
I need one of these to express my frustration at work!
she's literally so furious, and you have the audacity to LAUGH at her, she's shaking, she's crying and throwing up and screaming rn and you're LAUGHING?! well, damn, better push it four more times in a row, clearly. 🤣🤣🤣💀
@@OldOwl2003 it's a joke/trend people make a lot on tiktok. Like when a video is really funny sometimes people will be like "crying, screaming, shaking, throwing up rn" combined with the joke "you're LAUGHING? she's [insert whatever's happening or other meme here] and you're LAUGHING?"
@kaamn is just joking lol
LOL!
@@OldOwl2003 (It's called a "tantrum")

Also isn't Billi a boy name?
Dude probably has a.massive dongus even juicier than the one that was used to make you... Yet here you are.. Calling the mad.lad a "she" smh
You’re laughing? I hit MAD 4x and you’re laughing?
Happy to see she's being her normal mad self

God a mood
Yeah. Sometimes you're just upset, and you gotta calm down on your own. Once you have, then you can ask for cuddles and hugs and whatever else you want. I usually want food after I've been upset, lol.
I just think this cat is so lucky to have a human that genuinely loves her and believes in her intelligence; so many people brush off their animals showing intelligence, emotional depth, and understanding as random or fail to notice at all because they're not using words...but this one can feel "heard" by their keeper more than most ever will.
You guys did an incredible job putting this together!!! It sounds awesome, the video is great, sweet editing...you name it. Sat down with my coffee for this and got the taste slapped outta my mouth! lol Much appreciated!
She's stuck in mad, but has the searching gaze each time. She really just wants the healing touch, the circuit breaker of petting, loving touch.
Billi knows it's unhealthy to bottle things up 😄🤣
Billy is a being of unbridled rage.
I absolutely adore the beautiful ball of rage that is Billi! We need to get some of those buttons for our cats, but since we have 6, we might go crazy trying to keep up!
She said, "I'm not Dramatic, I'm Billi." 🤣🤣🤣
That's how I interpreted that as well.
"Billi? Why are you mad?"
"Just giving the internet what it wants, mom."
The most plausible answer !
It's like a stressball for her. She's adorable
I’m gonna sub because this one. Kept pressing MAD is hilarious.😆
The “pets” after all the mads was an awww moment for me. 🥰 It was as if she had gotten all the rage out and now needed some comfort from Mom. 🤗
the way Billi looks at mum shockingly after she chuckled like “you think this is a joke huh?”

Poor Billi. I'm glad she took a moment to cleanse her paw while in the midst of her rage. 😉
Yeah ! The cleaning break was so funny. But I don't think that was on purpose.
@@oceaneo4603 I think her paw was burning up from touching the MAD button 😛
Ahhhh, billi is so cute and smart!! Awesome kitty for real
Only a cat can be that mad for no apparent reason ❤❤❤
I feel ya Billie... Sometimes... You just feel mad at the world
I think that Billi has started speaking Danish. In Danish 'mad' means 'food'.
Isn't there a totally different pronunciation, for all Danish dialects, compared to Billi's mad-button?
@@martinjansson1970 yeah it’s entirely different
Billi means cat in Hindi 😂. It is like naming your cat, cat

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
could it be that Billi doesn't have the button to express the reason why she's mad? if there's a button for it, she seems to follow up with it
Maybe!
Yes or maybe she feels pain somewhere?
@@googleaccount-sf7im i think she would've pressed ouch
It's more like it wants something else and can't comprehend why the button it's pressing isn't producing any results. Animals don't understand concepts only action and reaction. So button presses that only result in communication aren't something the animal truly understands as they can't actually interpret complex speech or more accurately complex ideas such as feelings.
Interesting.
Please note, as indicated in the video and by the feminized spelling of her name, that she is a ‘she,’ and not an it.
"they're just pressing random buttons"
me : "look at this cat"
Well to be fair the cat don't look mad at all. This button probably gives her the most attention from owners. Anthropomorphism is fun, but we should not think about pets like they're human. They think differently and we can easily misunderstand them, which can in some cases hurt them.
@@Teuwufel
The cat was showing body language that suggests mild annoyance or frustration. Ears were slightly splayed, light tail flicking.
I think you're forgetting that there's probably a reason the cat wants attention. Especially as cats aren't like dogs, and often want to be alone. The cat may have actually been feeling bad that day, and the company actually helps.
@@YourIdeologyIsDelusional That was not the point of my comment but ok.
@@Teuwufel Mmm... I love a nice anthro kitty cat
@M I never said they don't have feelings. You obviously missed what I meant or is behaving like an ass purposefully. What the hell does mean "but you're too weak" you condescending prick?? I have a lovely dog with seizures that I take care of and he is very emotional creature, but comparing him to humans is completely dumb, we are very different species and their own way of thinking should be respected. Treating animals with respect and compassion is not anthropomorphizing them. They obviously have feelings but their ways of thinking are not the same as ours. Obviously they are not machines. Find someone else to argue with.
No words only rage. I feel this every day.
When the cat said "Mad"
I felt that....
This reminds me of a favorite memory from my previous cat of almost 21 years (RIP). One day she was inexplicably upset at me, so she ran to the living room, turned so her back was to me, and sat in the middle of the floor. On a hunch, I started moving around to various chairs or even switching rooms. Sure enough, she'd come find me then rotate so her back was to me again.
To this day I have no idea what I did wrong.
😂😂
For most four-legged animals, when they point their back end to you it's a show of trust. They face their back towards you when they feel you aren't a threat, because that's the end that can't bite.
Cat: “hey Jared ! Check this shit out!”
*turns around
The feline ability to shun the human :)
I saw a great comment about that sort of thing once, "My cat follows me from room to room to let me know she's ignoring me." 😂
She’s trying to achieve her monthly Mad quota 🤣
You can see the rage storm behind those eyes. Wow
She knows not for why she is mad, only that she is.
Me too, Billy. Me too.
Asking a cat "why mad?" is like asking the sky "why blue?"
I think that’s the most vivid example I’ve ever seen of the presence of self (possibly), because she was mad mad mad about something, wanted reassurance or pets, and it was about her SELF, Billi. That’s really interesting if it was unedited, if nothing else happened between PETS and BILLI. It’s as if there was a blow to her ego or pride or self somehow. I wonder if that’s possibly what happened?
When you mad, but mum is low key giggling. 😂
There's just something about Billi's adorable little face juxtaposed with all that anger, lol
Her little paw is so cute, and it looks just like the buttons that she’s pressing. 🙂
It DOES! 😊 She has little white button paws ⚪
I need one of those buttons for myself for whenever I’m slightly inconvenienced
Such a gorgeous and adorable cat....even when it's mad
She is me today…doing taxes. Have wished for a “mad” button many times.
Thank you for sharing your rage, sister😻
What especially made me lose it was how she looked at you, Kendra, when you were trying not to laugh. Billi wants to be taken seriously when she’s mad. As do we all!!
It’s so hard to keep it together 😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure cats do take offense if you laugh at them so it's possible she got more upset when laughed at for being mad.
That's what got me lol I know that look
@@DGneoseeker1 I know my cat did he just leave the room if i laughed at him
I am very certain the cat does not actually use these buttons like we use language, but he for sure understands that he gets attention when he presses them.
ascribing meaning to noises is the foundation of communication
Understanding what making the noises gets him is literally the basis of language formation
I actually really disagree with this statement. If you watch this channel and the others for long enough you will realize that the animals are pressing the correct buttons within the context of the conversation. For example, billi knows to press the water button when her bowl is empty. Under your theory she would just be arbitrarily smacking random buttons till someone came and paid attention. Animals are very capable of using language, they bark, meow etc to each other to communicate. They are capable of learning our languages as well. I think people assume other Animals are less smart than humans in the way ignorant people assume people who don't speak English as a first language are less intelligent. It's not about intellect, it's about a language barrier. Cats don't speak English, but this cat is learning to speak English. There is a dog who was fostered in a Spanish speaking home that was adopted by a family who speaks English and the dog only responded to commands in Spanish until they taught him the English words. The dogs intelligence never changed, he just had to learn a new language.
I can’t remember the exact context, but Billie has a button for their name, and when her owner had another cat all over, Billie kept pressing the Billie button, it suggest is that maybe she might view all cats as Billie that’s the closest thing to her that she can gather. So I think that suggest a higher level of understanding.
@@allisonharranmua8193 animals ARE less smart than humans. This is a scientific fact. This cat pushes buttons because it's been trained and knows that it will get a response from the pet owner.
Animals must get headaches and being mad is probably how it makes them feel.
I loved the dirty looks she was giving you. "Mom why don't you get it???"
I'm not an expert, but I think Billi might be upset about something, idk
No way. How can you tell at all?
@@nanwijanarko1969 idk, just a weird feeling. It's probably nothing though, because being mad would be totally out of character for her.
I love mom saying, “that was a bit dramatic”. LOL
i love that she presses the button, so cute
