- Todd says he wants Paulie to play Jingle Ball with him. Unfortunately, Paulie declined, again. Then Glamour asked for the Whirly Butter Fly toy Todd asked to have made a couple of weeks ago and they both enjoyed playing with it for a while.
Todd is a 6-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 51 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.

Glamour is like “I SPEAK JUST FINE NO BUTTONS NECESSARY”
She does not need them, lol
Glamour seemed to be seriously considering the Whirly button. Let's hope she decides to use it eventually.
That would be great, and I would continue to work with her on it but I would get too hopeful.
Paulie doesn't know what he's missin'! Nice to see Glamour so playful. 😊
Paulie has trust issues and Todd chased him away for awhile so he's unsure about Todd's motives.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Hopefully time will take care of that. (((hugs)))
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks how old is Paulie? How long has he lived with Todd?
It was sweet of Todd to ask for Pauli to play, he looked so disappointed hanging out with jingle ball by the railing!😢 but it was fun seeing glamour in Todd playing so energetically together!
@@anewrose Yes, indeed, Rose. 😻
It nice of Todd to have Pauli play 😊😊😊
He sure tries to get him to play now.
Glamour sure speaks her mind, doesn’t she? 😄
She does not need buttons lol.
The interaction between Glamour and Todd is remarkable- it almost seemed that Glamour tried to cheer him up with the suggestion to play Whirly instead of Jingle Ball- and she investigated the buttons too- they are such sweet kitties, all three of them ❤
Thank you 😊
Glamour getting all up in the camera like 👁👃🏻👁
She was trying to break the 4th wall!
😊
Glamour is absolutely loving Todd's new version of the whirly.
Enough for her to make a move toward the buttons!
Yes, I think it is because of a combination of the bright colors and the sound it makes dragging on the carpet. She is losing g her vision.
I love the way Todd is playing by laying on his back and letting the toy run back and forth in front of him.😊
Yes, that is something he started a while back. He knows if he is not playing with a battery operated toy I will turn it off so he would lay there on his back and hold out a paw so it would come around and touch it then look at me like What? I'm playing with it. Lol.
Poor Todd ,he seemed so sad that Paulie didn't want to play. Great to see Glamour so interested in playing, she must have been feeling a little young kitty energy.
I think Todd was sad Paylie wouldn't join in.
Cool to see so much of Glamour in this video. She was very talkative, and then got her EXTREME close up in the camera! LOL She was really diggin' that butterfly whirly toy! Nice of Todd to want to play with Paulie and the jingle ball. Paulie didn't seem to know what to make of the whole thing though. Too bad.
Yes, Paulie is still thinking this is a trap. Todd used to chase him away before I worked with him on being nicer to him.
That was lovely of Todd asking to play with Paulie. Glamour was a little star today. Coming close to the camera was nice and it was obvious she wanted something. Glad you called it and got the toy she wanted out. It will be interesting to see if she will learn a button or maybe she will consider them Todds and not want to touch them. 🐈💚
She is really not interested in them.
Todd pushes buttons. When Dad asked Glamour if she was alright, she meowed "yeah". No buttons required. LOL
Glamour usually makes it clear what she wants.
You can model the buttons for her, but I don't think Glamour is going to keep that beautiful singing voice of hers quiet.
Nope, I know she will not. Lol
Wow, Glamour absolutely loves the Whirly-Butterfly toy that Todd asked you to make! I hope that eventually Paulie will build up his courage and be able to play with the others. It's so nice to see all three kitties in a video.
Thank you 😊
Lovely kitties.... Just like kids. One always has an issue.
So true!
It’s thoughtful that Todd wanted Paulie to play with his most valuable toy
Yes, he can't understand how anyone could not want to play with it.
What a fun morning. Todd is much more friendly with Glamor and Paulie. This makes Dad happy.😊 ❤ for 🇨🇦.
😊
Really got the old girl's juices flowing! I call that a win, Todd Toymaker.
😊
I don't think Paulie makes the connection that the buttons are Todd talking. He didn't even notice when Todd hit the Paulie button.
He may not, I'm surprised he didn't react to his name. I'll have to look at that again.
Odd, all the chat disappeared. However, I am happy to have seen an extended video of Todd and his sibling with Dad. Thank you @The Chronicles of Todd - Todd talks 😻
The chat is controlled by CZcams and I have limited control over it. I would love to keep it open and up for a 1/2 hour after the video to keep chatting with everyone.
Fun to see Glamour playing❤.Todd is quite sweet.Hope Paulie will someday join in.
I hope so too!
Glamour was the star of the show today, including her close-up into the camera! lol I love her nickname. I wonder if Todd was saying "bird toy," because he thought it should be included in the "whirly" learning for Glamour since it is what he created?
I think he thought there had been enough of the toy I don't want and now it's time to play with me. Lol.
I wonder if Todd is remembering back when he wasn't so nice to Paulie, and trying to figure things out. And I wonder if Glamour will use the button - Todd was certainly interested when you were explaining the buttons to her!
It is possible, Todd is trying to make up for past behavior.
I am astounded each and every time I watch. Todd is truly special ❣️
Thank you
Good boi! 😻
Goodest Boi!
😊
Huh, I thought Glamour was just ready for her close-up! But she wanted a specific toy. Todd was so nice to invite Paulie to play. But I guess Paulie takes the pecking order to heart and is still not sure Todd will be nice to him. My goodness, I've never seen Glamour move so much!
😊
7:28 *Glamour fights Whirly*
"I must tell Todd and Dad how much fun I'm having!"
*goes over to Todd's board*
"Wait, I don't even know how to operate this thing."
*goes back to annihilate Whirly*😂
😄
🥰 Thank you for the smiles
You are welcome
I'd never get any work done😂they are so adorable, great interactions. ❤
You are so kind
Todd is without a doubt the sweetest cat ever ❤
Aww, thank you 😊
I keep thinking Glamour is going to press a button 😂 she’s very careful when stepping over them
She looks at them but really wants nothing to do with them.
Glamour is a spicy girl for sure , But you gotta ❤ it !
😊
Ohhh Paulie took off an Todd stopped when he seen him leave. He tried ❤to
😊
Todd almost got your foot when you put the whirlybird up. Maybe he wanted Pauly to come play with it! 👍🏻😊❤️
Maybe
I think Glamour is going to stick to meowing rather than the buttons. I love all her little sounds!
Yes, she is set in her ways lol
It was so sweet to see Todd wanting to play with his friends 🥰
Yes, he's a good boy.
Todd, I'm so sorry that Paulie wasn't in the mood to play jingle ball with you. Maybe someday soon. Goodness Glamour girl, where did you get all that energy. I can't remember seeing her play so much in quite a while. Todd you did a good job with your new toy.
😊
Did you see Todd’s face at 11:11 when you were showing the buttons to Glamour? 😳 He was like whaaaa?
Lol, no I had not seen that.
Thats so nice from todd😊 to invite friends to play his favorite toy😂 i think they have difffend favorite toys how ever😂 ..but i feel like paulie is a littlebit afrait of todd
Paulie has trust issues, and Todd was not as nice as he could have been to him in the past. He is trying hard now to be friends.
After snitching on Glamour I understand why he would prefer being with Paulie🤣
😄
So adorable, sweet, and caring for another kitty.
What does your grandson think of the buttons? :)
He's not seen them you, the upstairs has not been childproof yet.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Cat's are even more stubborn.
True
Looks like Glamour may want to use those buttons to communicate. Watch the way she hovers around them , meows and addresses you. She wanted to tell you something. It may well have been about the toy you gave her to play but it still says something about her. She may be a little jealous of Todd because he gets what he wants and she has connected the buttons as the reason. Cat's are smart.
They are smart and I continue to offer it to her.
I'm thinking Paulie may have mistaken Todd's running at the Jingle Ball as a charge at him. He seemed very startled and maybe a little scared. That may be why he is hesitant to interact with Todd and Glamour at the Whirley.
I'm sure he did. Before working with Todd he was not very nice to him. He would never hurt him but would chase him away if he came upstairs. Todd is over that now and is trying to be friends.
Awwww … so adorable! 💜
Thank you
Glamour honestly talks just fine.
Dad> Hey Glamour?
Glamour> What?
Dad> Come look.
Glamour> Ok.
I don't recall the exact conversation, but the syllables and sound sure match up to appropriate responses 😹
Poor Paulie tried so hard for so long to be welcomed into the full clowder, now that he finally gets his chance, he's as cautious as Charlie Brown should be when Lucy holds the football for him to kick. I predict that Todd won't give up on trying to be a good brother. ❤
Think he will be too
Such a happy furr-family 👍💜💕
😊
Enjoyed watching that, Todd’s toy inventions need to be patented
😄
lol Glamour is looking for trouble ❤
Lol
Such interesting dynamics here!
Agreed
Paulie was afraid Todd was coming after him or that he would come after him for being near the jingle ball.
Yes, If I were Paulie lying contentedly in the hallway and Todd came running full speed ahead, I would have fled too. In fairness to Todd, there was the time he just tried to gently bat the jungle ball towards Paulie and got no response. 😏
Yes, and Paulie has trust issues from experiences prior to being adopted by us
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks So good he has ended up with a loving family.
Glamour was embracing her inner kitten!
Yes and it was good to see.
What beautiful, smart, and lucky kitties! Is Glamour learning the buttons as well? Is Paulie on the skittish side? One of my cats seems afraid of her own shadow!
I don't think so, I continue to offer it to her, though.
Thank you for sharing 😊❤!
You are so welcome
You forgot Todd asked for bird toy.
No, he got it shortly, the video was already 17 minutes long, lol
At first I couldn't get video.
I'm sorry, I'm glad you were able to join in even if it wasn't at the start.
That made me think about cat “sibling” interaction. Is it that Todd and Glamour Dad’s cats and Paulie Mom’s. Is it territory , that upstairs belong to Todd and Glamour and Todd in the past always chased Paulie to go downstairs? Is it some form of dominance that Paulie is lower in hierarchy, or feels like an outsider when upstairs?
I think cats in the wild had to be respectful of more dominant cats’ territory and Paulie has that behavior ingrained, so it is hard for him to trust that Todd now wants to play with him. And it is fascinating that Todd has been able to learn that Dad wants him to be nice to Paulie and is able to offer toys even when Paulie is so hesitant.
We will continue to watch for this drama to unfold. Some sibs never do get along and at best will tolerate each other. Todd wanted Paulie to play, but instead got to play with his best love, Glamour!!!!!!
I think what you said at first has a lot to do with it.
Wonderful joined together in a wonderful community ❤
😊
Glamour had her oats that morning! 😂
Lol 😁
Maybe Glamour should have her own buttons. She has walked through Todd's buttons several times now.
It's possible that Todd will help teach her. He's very perceptive and generous.
And you are teaching Glamour Whirly! It's exciting!
She looks at them from time to time but still has not shown interest. I continue to offer it to them
How long has Paulie been a part of the family? Isn't he older than Todd? Did you get all 3 cats as kittens? Enjoy your Sunday! ❤
Paulie has been with us for 10 years. Glamour and Todd were kittens when they came home. Paulie was between 1 and 2.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks So...Glamour was first, as a kitten. Then Paulie came along when Glamour was about 4. Paulie was 1 or 2 when you got him. Then Todd came along about 4 years later, as a kitten. Am I correct? 😂 It is unusual for a kitten to chase and not like an older, established cat, in the family. I wonder why Todd did not like Paulie from the get go? I can't imagine Paulie coming around at his age, when both he and Todd have known each other for quite a few years, but one can hope! Did Paulie and Glamour get along? Do they now? I am just so curious! Thanks.
Missed the live again
Sorry, you can try again next Sunday.
Glamour went to the buttons a couple of times. I think she would like to be able to "talk" too.
I have offered and continue to offer it to her, even offering her own board, but she and Paulie have shown no real interest in them.
hi dad! i have a question that I'm sure you've been asked a thousand times. what's a good way to start kitties talking with the buttons?
I have a siames kitten, who is 4 months old, who has already taught himself how to open doors and play fetch. I've not taught him anything, he is doing this by himself.
he is an Einstein of kitties. he is highly food motivated, he'll do anything for food. what would you suggest?
There are some very detailed videos on "Justin Bieber the Cat" about how to get started. 🙂
Great question. I don't recommend starting with a food or treat button but something like a favorite toy or game or activity they love to do. Model all your buttons. Show them them button, and when they are looking at it, press the button and repeat what it says, then do the activity. In my opinion, the biggest challenge is to get them to acknowledge the buttons and touch them. Once you can get them to do that, it's just learning to concept associated with the button. Do not force them to press a button. It can create negativity towards them. There is also a great, free started guide on the FluentPet website. Feel free to ask questions, I'll help if I can.
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks excellent, thank ypu so much! I can totally see him learning fetch as his first button. I'm thinking for him, the hardest part will be pushing the button. i think he'll get touching it just fine. (he'll be copying me).
another question i just thought of. Some people, like you, put all the buttons in one place. where others put the button near the activity. (like the garden button near the back door) and only one button there. I'm thinking i want to do them like you do, but would you change the arrangement if you could?
Is Paulie afraid Todd will run him off?
Likely. Todd used to run him out the room if he just tried to enter. 😀
Very possibly. Todd did not always use to be nice to him, and Paulie has trust issues. We are pretty sure Pauliewas abused before he came to us. .
Link for the Whirley please? My kitten would love it.
All of Todd's toys should have links in the video description
We have a "whirly" but it is not as well designed as your is. What brand is your "whirly"?
Links to all of Todd's toys should be in the video description
@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks Yes, I checked the list but I don't see the "whirly"?
