@@Infernos94 Bruh you start a sentence with a capital letter
So you literally could have told the people who were fixing the gate, "um, my cat is asking when she can come outside."
One paw hovering threateningly over the 'mad' button....
AJAJJAHABAHAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
@@Sonja147 I saw that, too! If I didn't know better, I'd think that Billie knew "outside ouch" wasn't her mom's fault.
@@Ougerosity598 Considering Billi herself has expressed "Ouch" over the "Noise" "Outside", I think she can understand the concept of "Outside Ouch".
Although I don't know if that was an earlier or more recent video.
She is so smart. “Mad all done play outside” makes perfect sense.
I understood her perfectly.She is mad.She wants to know if they are all done fixing the door so she can play outside.
This is sad. I can understand a button pushing talking cat on CZcams better than most people I meet in the real world
"I'm upset that we're done playing outside."
what's cool too is that she also pressed "Hmm??" as if asking her mom "I'm mad, why are we all done playing outside?" So clever!
@@avinavar4818 bruuuh that’s true, Billi legit upgrading from communicating to accuracy, isn’t that what babies do? Babies just say mom/dad but then they start trying to form sentences
And then she asked why by pressing "hmmm?"
Could Billi be anymore adorable? That was actually a really difficult conversation she managed to have with the available buttons!
I agree. Billi got her intent across. That is one smart cat!
The exact words. 💡
She knows so many words now, that it's more like communicating with a toddler than a cat!
I think that little "love you" there was because she wanted you to know that she isn't holding it against you, and loves you regardless of the fact that she's bummed out.
Or she was just trying to bribe you to wave your magic wand and fix the issue. I don't know.
She’s a cat, probably both 😂
@@BilliSpeaks you can fix the weather, a fence should be easy XD
I think she was saying, "thanks, I understand."
I thought she's was like "yes she agreed to go back soon!"
probably she used it in a child way; I love you, give me money
She's starting to build sentences.
It's so fascinating watching her progress and learn!
There is no way the cat knows what I love you means. Shes just pressing rdm buttons isn't she
@@alancollins8294 i think its parroting what she was taught
@@alancollins8294 like i feel like it can understand some if this, but its mostly just copying i feel
@@SethiozProject facts, all my dogs always showed that level of intelligence
@@SethiozProject how do you teach I love you?
Can’t believe she pressed “soon” after you said “later” and then “love you”, what a cutie pie!!!! 🥰
i didn't know this thing existed, and actually have been thinking of making stuff like this, and here i am all of a sudden seeing this in amazement and yeah when the kitty did that i teared up XD
It's... it's a cat, it presses random buttons, have you trogos learned nothing from these videos??
@@MG-ql8sg idk what you're watching, but the cat knows what it wants to say. it has a brain, can think to an extent. i've since seen several other examples - i hope your day gets better
@@MG-ql8sg its just weird that those "random" pushes, most of the time correspond to what has been said. Thats something us "trogos" observed
@@MG-ql8sg stop trolling here. Get your own buttons and learn how to communicate properly
This cat is smarter than 90% of people I meet.
Africa is a country
Felt that
*on the internet
Uhm looking at the reaction time I'm gonna have to say doubt
@@98overallHazard Relevance? How does that relate to what the OP said? It sounds like you assumed something.
I love how you patiently waited for her to give you more words rather than making a quick assumption on what she meant. I need to do more of the same with some people in my life.
Felt thatttt
Is it bad I’m more patient with my cat than with people? 😂 but for real, I’m trying hard to give her time to put multiple words together. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell if she’s done or not and I jump the gun.
@@BilliSpeaks "Mad All Done" - could that mean "I'm not mad anymore"?
@@johannageisel5390 I took that as she was mad that she was all done and couldn't be outside anymore bc the door/ fence was broken.
@@cheekymarmoset Yes, but she didn't say it right away. But who knows. Both interpretations are plausible.
Fascinating how her tail was wagging vividly in the beginning and almost not at all after you explained why she can't go outside
It is interesting huh? Heightened sense of emotion to a more relaxed feeling? Perhaps.
@@BilliSpeaks Our cat waves her tail furiously when she’s thinking. She’s processing, it’s her little hourglass icon. ;)
@@sallyasmree4079 mine does too. Swishing tail generally means agitation. The agitation could be thinking, positive excitement, or negative excitement. And there can be differences in exactly how the tail swishes, to indicate exactly what the cat is conveying. Like a gestural inflection.
They seem to be able to consciously control the rest of their body and even play aloof to perfection... but the tail is reflecting their emotional state: agitation, thinking, etc. This present tuxedo can fake being asleep but the tip of the tail is letting us know he is listening and reacting to what we say. So cute.
@@isiseungella4688 Yes! Subtle physical cues are very helpful in picking up what they're thinking or communicating. I find it so interesting how cats body language can be interpreted accurately although generally silent, yet we know so little about how they think
Can we please get some legit feline behavioral scientists in here and review her notes already. This woman is doing some incredible work. I feel like this could be on the fringe of an actual animal translator.
She’s part of a research study, so stay tuned and we’ll get that info when it’s published! 🤗🤗
@@BilliSpeaks That's awesome! She absolutely deserves to be studied. Full-on phrases like mad all done outside... that's dolphin grade stuff!
@@BilliSpeaks That's like a dream come true, i thank you all for this effort.
@@suitov uP
As a huge cat lover, this has me so excited!! I talk to my cats and they do understand some of what I say, but I do want to know more about how they feel and what they want. 🥺
She looked so surprised when you put together outside and ouch! I got the read that she thought you were saying the outside was making *you* ouch - like when she's come in because of too-loud noises and said things like "noise ouch" and "outside later." And then said "love you" to comfort you for being, apparently, ouched by the outside.
Aww! That’s a really cute interpretation. Maybe.
I love this ❤️
Omg comforting Mama. 💜💜💜
Lol that's really cute
Very good idea
"Mad all done play outside" sounds a lot like, "I'm mad we're not playing outside." That's a really complex thought Billi!
That's how I interpreted it too
The thought isn't very complex, but speaking it definitely is.
It is isn't it!!!!
Love how she is sitting down and listening to you with full interest
outside ouch was brilliant. a good way to describe the situation. trying to have complex convo's with like 30-50 words must be challenging sometimes. i'm amazed at how well you and billie work together on stuff
Haha thanks! I was panicking if you couldn’t tell from all the “uhmmmm”’s 😂
@@BilliSpeaks you could see her face as you tried to think of how to explain in the right words, waiting there like you do for her
Beautiful two way relationship
I wonder if “broken” is a word that could be added?
@@lainey7985 There probably won't be enough opportunities in a short amount of time to model "broken". Billie used "ouch" to refer to her back and ears, so that's the best way to describe what happened to the door without making it too complicated.
@@BilliSpeaks as you were searching for a word, I said "ouch!" out loud, and was very pleased you chose it! Maybe I'll be as smart as Billi someday!
People: when outside?
Government: outside later, outside outch.
People: outside soon?
Government: yes "soon".
In germany anyway xD
Same in the UK haha
Omg you’re right, it’s like every human at the beginning of lockdown! 😂
We are still allowed to go outside, though. ^ ^
But other people are "Ouch". Other people "No".
Reminds me of the whole AstraZeneka discussion.
"AstraZenena now?"
"No. AstraZeneka later."
"AstraZeneka UK all done. AstraZeneka Germany now?"
"No. AstraZeneka ouch. Lockdown no 3 now"
"Mad!"
Askdjdkdk 😂
It's so amazing how far Billie has come with the buttons- you guys are holding such complex conversations now compared to when she first started!! Be proud of yourself momma, you're an excellent (and SUUUPER patient) cat mom 💖
Awww thank you for that! Put a smile on my face 🤗🤗
Holy crap, Billie's come such a long way! From abusing the 'mad' button, to full-on asking if the workmen were done so she could go play outside. I'm in absolute awe, guys.
Wait what? Is she building sentences by attaching previously learned concepts together in new situational contexts? Isn't this an ultra-high level cognitive task that only a handful of laboratory primates have ever demonstrated?
Seems pretty incredible right? We’ll see if it continues and progresses!
This is whay the world has done. This cat is becoming a todler
She doesn't exhibit grammar tho, but still impressive!
one wonders how much is this particular cat, and how much is the humans system.
given the massive gaps in intelligence humans can have depending on how they are raised, one wonders what the limitations on other animals is.
@@scout360pyroz The creator of this channel says she bought the buttons a few months ago. The cat is supposedly 12 years old. It would be interesting to see how things would go if this process started on a juvenile.
If there's a customer complaints line, Billi could ring and provide feedback. "Billi mad. Outside ouch. Outside play all done. Mad. Mad."
When Billi pressed the "hmmm?" button 💖💖😍
She was looking towards the door as if she had heard something.
I'm wondering if she was asking why they stopped playing
@@-L.S Or it was a "What's going on?".
I love when cats do that little impatient rattlesnake tail. It's like a "harrumph" in cat
Oh my goodness. I adopted a cat last week because of your channel and seeing this level of communication is making me cry as a new cat dad.
Are you going to teach your kitty how to talk?
@@gyppygirl2021 he's only 2 years old so I'm considering it. I've already learned his meows and he's learned some food play.
@@deyesed I wonder if it'll be any easier starting from a young age?
I hope you do if I could physically get down on the floor to teach my cat buttons I would already be doing it!
A lifetime of experience with multiple cats: just like someone learning a language new to them, repeat the same simple words for the same action, short sentence, body language and pointing, keep it simple and short. I have never used 'buttons' (didn't exist) but there is body language. "Show me" and they take me to where the action will be: food (different spots for different type of food), play, outside, etc. Siamese have a wider vocal repertoire and seem to be more sensitive to words. Other cats seem to use more body language: head, tail, posture, etc and react to mine as well. I had a deaf cat and the moment I realised changed our relationship, using hand gestures or fingers to codify concepts and words: here, stop, eat, etc. The first day I realised and started doing it, she was so happy she learned 3 signs immediately and we never looked back. Finally I made sense and I knew why she wasn't following instructions. With a timber house, it was easy to bang in sequence the door, wall or floor to get her attention to come or turn around and look at me. She even learned to bang on the door to be let back in. (super safe rural environment and she never left the garden).
You pushed "outside, soon" and she had this look in her eye that said "I don't believe you!"
I saw it too!🤣
And she was right. It took 3 days to fix the door. 3 days for a cat is like forever.
I like to think you pet Billy for 3 days straight while you waited for the door to be fixed lol
Basically 😂
LOL... I was imagining the same!
Also, that was an unfortunate modeling of "soon", lol... now how do we teach her "time is relative"..?
@@TieDyeVikki "oops!" haha
It is amazing that she understands and can express concepts like later and soon. Amazing!
I’m constantly in awe. So excited for the preliminary research results, all the other animals seem to be having leaps like this too!
@@BilliSpeaks I wonder if Billi thinks about things differently now that she can express herself with more complexity? You have really enriched her world 😻
Your "uhhhh" while trying to figure out how to explain the situation to Billi is such a 'learning a 2nd language mood' :'D
Hahahahaha right??
Also "All done hmm? Play outside" , definitely sounds like asking if they were all done and she could go out again.
Can't wait until Billi can write entire Shakespearean novels.
"Macbeth ouch" 😅
I'd pay to see/hear the Billi version of Shakespeare!
It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times
🤣
@@spooniesarah To be mad or not to be mad
Lost for words in a conversation with her cat. So a-door-able!
I see what you did there 😂
This has become a favorite channel between my wife and all of our friends. Billi’s phrases have become memes for us. We ♥️ Billi
Aww thanks so much for watching! My workplace is filled with people just screaming “mad” now at the slightest inconvenience 😂
@@BilliSpeaks 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@BilliSpeaks hahaha!
@@BilliSpeaks Awww, that must suck after a while, though it seems so funny from the outside.
Are these people your customers or your coworkers?
@@BilliSpeaks that’s us all day 🤣🤣🤣
“Love you, love you” between my wife and me and “want want want” “mad mad mad” between all of us
Never stop posting Billi videos ❤️
Admittedly, when I 1st came across these videos, I thought it was just a fluke that Billie sorta made sense with these buttons. I was wrong, this is amazing. Brilliant kitty, brilliant mom.
You should have seen this arrogant prick telling me that there is "no way" Billie understands any of these buttons, and when I used the example of Billie understanding the "outside" button she said it's only natural for a cat to follow her owner. In the *_very_* next video after she was asked if she wanted to go outside, the second the button was pressed she raced _ahead_ to the door. Scientifically this is hardly definitive proof, but I hope this clown was rightfully embarrassed
@@futurestoryteller I've noticed the more adamant naysayers have died down, thank goodness. Probably because it's to a point far beyond "oh, she's just pressing random buttons."
I’m still skeptical too! But as she progresses I’m becoming more open to the idea of it. She’s part of a research study, so stay tuned and we’ll get that info when it’s published!
i love how when she asks a question she locks her eyes on you and seems to be paying close attention.
I feel like Billi was trying to negotiate. You're like, outside later, and she's like outside soon. 'Soon' is better than 'later' since 'now' is not a choice. Idk that might just be me.
On one hand, you can explain stuff to your cat and she can express herself more clearly for you! On the other hand, when she expresses her wants very clearly, you *need* to explain stuff to her, haha.
This reminds me so much of speaking with someone who speaks another language primarily and you both only know a few words in each others languages. It can take a lot of thought to get points across as concisely as possible.
Gosh when she says “love you” then stares at you that actually melts my heart
Awww. She's so cute even when mad.
What a precious conversation !! Her saying soon after outside later melted me 🙌
Right? Like, I think you meant soon mom. Get it right.
“Love you!” Awww, Billi. 🥰
You're such a good owner. Bili is lucky to have you. Kudos.
This makes me so happy. I’m autistic and I can go non-verbal when really stressed, so I know the frustration of not being able to speak. These animals really like to communicate when it is a tool given to them.
That little “Love you” in the end killed me. She’s such a good girl
The best 🤗🤗😻
I just realized how much I have in common with Billi. There's not a whole lot that can't be fixed with a few "pets", some catnip and the promise of maybe "later".
1) be heard. 2) be comforted. 3) receive a promise that the issue will be fixed.
Why is pets in quotation but not catnip? 👀
@@anxyxnxufxh4056 catnip is a proper noun, a real thing. "Pets" and "later" are concepts.
'Outside ouch' is a perfectly reasonable explanation of the door being broken, and she got it. Wasn't at all happy with it, but she did understand the explanation. Her crafting more complex full sentences is really amazing. Teach her to type and you'll have the works of Shakespeare in a couple months.
This cats getting smarter and smarter, i wonder if she got a kitten would billy teach it how to use the buttons
-all done, mad, play, outside, hmmm?
- outside soon, love you
Billi used the question button and reconciled herself to your answer. Woahh, Billi is just so smart and sweet!!!
She really is making use of her buttons - wonder how she got along all these years without them, lol! Its opened a whole new world for her to be able to communicate with her human - and she takes full advantage of the opportunity! :-) Fun times!
She is just incredible. Think about it. Imagine explaining what “soon” means to a toddler. That is not easy. Now imagine explaining it to a cat. She fully understands it and used the soon button appropriately. Billi is a genius!
its amazing how she seemed to understand the concept of “outside ouch”. as soon as you said that she was like “oh, outside ouch? thats a shame. i’m mad but i still love you” and moved on
This is the cutest conversation with a cat I've ever seen ❤️🥰
You're so consistent with modeling, repeating, confirming. 😍 My fave buttons trainer. Looking forward to getting our first buttons in a few weeks!
Good luck!!
@@BilliSpeaks I was really encouraged to discover Billi is 12! Tasha is 16. 🤞
@@BilliSpeaks And thanks!! 😊🙌🐾🐾😺
So impressed that she seems to understand a distinction between "later" and "soon"! I've always wondered how animals process time!
Cats are very well aware of the passage of time! My late cat even knew when it was Monday. Or maybe "quality time for two days with both humans over, **he** has to go away early again"-day for him, but you know, Monday. He even saved my partner from oversleeping one Monday when his alarm didn't go off. He knew that was not to schedule!
Wow! That is amazing! After all that she ended up making it all pretty clear! (and so did you, Mom. Kudos: Outside,ouch.)
"Outside ouch" sums up the current world event
Pressing "Soon" to demand you expedite the repair schedule 😹
If you're making clothes for the channel, you need to have a cozy sweater that says "Outside ouch" on it 😅
Billi on the inside - I know we have to stay inside mother, that is ENTIRELY the problem! Why are you not understanding this?
Billi with buttons - mad
Billi is my spirit animal
When she doesn't immediately get her way,
*M* *A* *D*
Wow! I’m so impressed!!! She was so clever in her use of buttons to get her point across and it might be the first time I’ve ever seen her use, “Hmm?” which really was a treat. Next time, send them the video and explain your cat needs this fixed ASAP because she doesn’t want her outside to ouch anymore and would like to play outside. 😆 Excellent job, you two!
Aww that last look.. you broke her lil kitty heart.. hehe I love how smart she is.
When you said “soon” did I actually detect some skepticism in Billi’s expression? 🙂 I had a cat read my mind once...no joke.
"Love you" - d'awwwwww... I feel like she's reassuring you that she knows it's not your fault. Either that, or she's hoping she can bribe you into fixing it faster.
I love her little tail twitches 💕 and I live for daily Billi updates!!!
Wow this was such a complex conversation! Well done, Billi (and Kendra)!
It’s so satisfying to watch you two be able to build your communication like this - even though there really aren’t enough buttons, BOTH OF YOU make it work. Isn’t that just awesome? It is. It is awesome.
I just love billie and your relationship with her! You're such a brilliant cat mom 🤩
"Outside ouch" was a good choice!! It seems she understood. Love the "soon" followed by "love you." Clever girl! 😂
I love Billi
Just found your channel, what a cute little tortie. This is a really interesting idea, I've noticed the more you talk to a cat the more words they certainly understand (& they know if you're talking ABOUT THEM To someone else!)
Cannot believe it. I watch her every day. Smart girl.
This was so cool! I think you coming up with Outside Ouch was fantastic! Even with her limited vocabulary that seemed to have delivered the point to her wonderfully. I love Billi! She's very understanding when she want to be.
LoL. Billies tail says so much. 😀😺💖
I think this is the first time I’ve seen her use hmm. So cool! If she saw the fence break then I kind of think she was talking about it breaking. Mad all done. What better way to say that your stopping your function all together. Still so cool in any case!
She's actually used "hmm?" before this. One time she asked what Mom wants to play, or she was asking for suggestions. Might've been other times too, not sure.
She's such a good girl. So smart too.
This is amazing! To be able to communicate this way! You need a television show and a book deal. Bravo!!!😃👏👏👏
She's so smart, I love watching her build sentences
Shes so intelligent 🤩
Awww, the hopeful look on her face when she pressed, soon? Such a smart cat.
I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate all of the work you do to communicate with Billi. And thank you for uploading these videos for us to share in your adventures.
Billi is so smart! She understood everything. You have such a beautiful bond!! 💓😻💓😻💓😻💓😻💓😻💓😻💓😻💓😻💓😻
I think Billi presses “hmm?” When she’s waiting for you to do something, just like when you press it when you want her to respond.
The face she always makes when she’s trying to understand you is just gold 😅🥰
I am willing to watch billi for 1 hour and need not to skip any commercials. I am one devoted follower. 🐱
it took awhile but with "mad all done play outside" this cat surpasses my husband in communication
She truly understands you! Amazing to see this sort of conversation between a cat and a human
That accusing look when you tell her she has to stay inside until the fence is fixed is just so pure! If I ever have another cat I am so getting one of these boards.
I just love her little white socks!!
Would love to see someone try this with a Russian Blue. I swear my cat learned how to call out for Yum Yum by name lol. He's always been really smart but i think he's about to evolve into a Khajiit and this could push him over the line!
I half expect to come home one day to find him peddling wares on the carpet.
We have two Russian blues (one old and one young) and I really want to try this
I literally said today that I thought our young Russian Blue would be perfect for them. She just seems so... intelligent. If she ends up taking to the buttons, maybe we can make some videos of her. :)
And I like the comparison of the khajit lol
Such a sweet, smart girl
I wasn’t prepared for how soft spoken the ‘soon’ is compared to how the other voices are :o
I like how Billi asked such an intellectual question that YOUR brain broke for a second🤣🤣
Also kudos to you (and others in the comment for making sense out of "all done mad..."), because i was just giggling at the idea of anyone saying "all done mad", nevermind a freaking cat lmaoo
This is fascinating! It seems like she Billie has modelled "all done" to mean something is not available or not possible at the current time? Also I loved how she stopped and listened to you speak while you work we out what to say. I think she understood you were trying to communicate with her and was patiently waiting for your answer!
what a cute looking mad princess ^^
Your " #hunger4words "
reminded me of the Helen Keller story! Once Anne got through to Helen with some basic words, Helen was insatiable for more words after being without for so long.
I can imagine! That hashtag is for Christina Hunger (IG tag @hunger4words), she’s the one that started this pet aac phenomenon! If you haven’t seen Stella’s videos, check her out!
I've rewatched this like five times now! This was so amazing! 😍
Is she actually using flattery to try to get what she wants? That's advanced! We love you Billi!
Billy is the best!!!!
Whoa, that was kinda scary. I'd swear you had a real conversation with your cat.
Subscribed, of course. I need to see more of this.
Adorable... Thank you!
