I also have noticed a decrease in the number of times she presses mad. Makes me wonder if she was "mad" all the time because of some sort of pain?

are their brains slower or is billi trying to speak the language of a different species? cat brains have to work pretty damn quick to catch prey. different capacities.

@@Ruhma.I agree. If we had buttons with 75+ cat sounds (and no written words on them) and had to not only figure out and remember what each sound means, but also their placement and how to connect them so that they make sense to a cat, in order for us to communicate what we want, I’ll bet we humans would be a hell of a lot slower 😅
@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx

@@mememe733I totally agree with you. I constantly see people commenting about these animals using buttons as being so slow, or not knowing what they are saying. Too many don't take the time to seriously consider the true difficulty of understanding the exact meaning of not just a sound from an entirely different species of animal, but also to remember exactly where that sound is in the middle of many, many other sound buttons. To add to that, they then want the animal to structure sentences like we do. To an entirely different species, I am certain many of our words sound like the same word, just like meow and meow sound the same to me, but to a cat, there may be a tiny emphasis here or there that they pick up on that we never would. I am certain to an animals that words so different to us as Door and Drawer, or even Out and Mouth, etc., barely sound like they are different, much less mean something entirely different. And notice that the buttons use OUR language so they must learn our words, not the other way around - us learning Their words (meows or woofs) and then remembering where they are so we can communicate to them. That I'd like to see - and I bet we'd circle that board 10x longer than Billi, and still likely get it wrong! 😆
"Catnip before catnip" lol she might be saying,"Mom, I like the catnip but I'm interested in a catnip appetizer before the catnip"
Is this the cat equivalent of “420 blaze it!”?
" Woah Coool" stares for a full 10 seconds.😅
Not sure what sort of time distortion Billi just experienced ⏳️ or maybe "before, catnip" is her way of saying, _Yeah, I got a buzz going._
Shes so good at talking!
😂Even when Billi stoning away, after taking tat catnip she's jus so adorable 😂😅
her little white socks are so adorable ! 💕

I'm so happy to see that smooth lithe jump at the end; the old girl still got it!
My elderly little lady had just come up to request catnip dental treats as I clicked on this. She meows softly and stares intently at the package. I keep it on the end table near our medications. She gets some with each of her thyroid pills and once between doses.

Aww, and similar. Our cat has thyroid meds with treats too! Except it's lick-e-lix (a tube full of treat) and liquid medication. Morning and night along with her regular food and she's doing great. They even reduced her meds,she'll be 13 this year. May your cat live a few more happy years.
I love her stopping, the Brain fusing, and then jumping back to the beginning of her mental record ;-) That is your Brain on drugs, folks!
I wonder if she's recalling her recent experience, and "comparing" the memories a bit?
Aww. Sweet girl. She’s certainly showing her age more recently.

It's hilarious, incredibly cute and amazing at the same time. Because toddlers also like to comment in detail on each event. Just like Billy 🤭😍
Billi, is remarkably intelligent. I love how she paces the pushing of the buttons. I think before she takes a lap around the buttons or whatever, that she already knows what she plans to state. She can tell time and she loves to be able to demonstrate this. Billi is indeed, at the top of class. 💖🐾

Dogs Have Owners. Cats Have Staff!
I've been teaching my cat "settings" and then "mommy pettings" vs "daddy pettings". We don't have buttons but she already knows lots of things like "daddy's home" that she picked up on her own. I can tell from her body language if she wants something so it's a fun little exercise

"Chantily Lace" seems very "apro po" for this posting. ("You KNOW what I Like!!!")
@BilliSpeaks What kind of Catnip do you give her? I try to find the seemingly very fine stuff I saw in your videos but can't find it here in Germany. 🍀

Such a cute kitty! 🏴☠
Reaction buttons AFTER eating catnip should be in Tommy Chong's voice => "Wooooaaahhhh!" "Oh man, I'm so wasted...!"
🐈💕
Billi was saying thank you! ❤
Yup, I just got high...
"Mom... the weed is too strong... what did you put in this shit?"
lol
so, general question. What do you think billy thinks mad means? is it "I don't like this, I am displeased" or "Press to fix problem if possible?" or "I don't like what you did" Its probably not exactly the same meaning as mad in English. What is your impression.
lol! Or, maybe she thinks before means more?
