Did Todd Just Tell Me To Be Quiet?!?! 😂😂
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.

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!!

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.

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.
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.

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.

It’s human to think from a personal perspective, that he was aiming the “noise” thought AT you. But, I think that animals come from a less egocentric perspective than we humans do. Also, Todd’s “pets” could’ve been him observing that you were giving Paulie pets. Todd is highly observant, so in my opinion, he could be confirming his words with actions. So intelligent!

It's true that word meanings need many examples for an animal to understand its meaning. Toasters make "little noise," while vacuum cleaners make "big noise inside," while thunder is "big outside noise," while dogs barking is "outside noise," while grandbaby noise is "noise downstairs." When teaching words to animals, we need to give a wide breadth of meanings. (I taught my dogs many words over the years, and taught Service Dogs.)

I had to laugh so much, wheather he truly meant like that or not. 😂 Him then assuring how he loves his dad was so cute too! And wanting pets right after Paulie. 😸 I swear my cat gets jealous nowadays when I watch Todd - he almost immediately wants food, cuddles, play or simply attention. At the same time, I have begun to teach him more words by simply repeating them according to what we do, and I am thinking about the buttons for him... Can't get them yet, he has sadly FORL and some dental work ahead of him, but later perhaps? I know he understands a lot, but I think it would be so good if he had more means to tell me things like Todd tells to his Dad - especially concerning health issues and if something bothers him so I can take better care of him. He might just be asking for treats though, or say "medicine no" followed by "yes treats" or something like that I'm afraid.😅 😅😅😅😅😅
Where noise, would be good question.

Yes it would. I was too stunned at the time to think of it.
I think Todd meant 'make noise' as in 'talk to me'. And when he said pets he was recognising that Paulie was getting pets
Sassy little boi!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I also wonder if he was welcoming Paulie and Glamour.

Maybe
Did Glamour meow out of range, or was there some noise in the house-or outside- that you didn’t hear? Or that you take for granted? I feel like he knew it wasn’t quite the right word, because noise = fireworks, so far.

If I ever get another cat I would like to try the buttons out . My latest love would probably say " Hold me , kiss me , give me hugs , and please make me some chicken . "

It is wonderful when they can ask for affection on their terms. Todd has Cuddles, Pets, Kisses, and Belly Rubs
1:43 Todd: "Noise" Dad: "I understand, I will be quiet" (moments later) "Hey Paulie, how you're doing buddy?"

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.
