Todd continues to amaze me. He finds ways of expressing feelings and concepts he currently does not have a word for by using and combining the words he does have. We started out the morning with Todd telling me Hello. I told him HEllo and I loved him and he replied with Love you. I just got back from an overnight business trip and I believe Todd is trying to tell me he wants me to stay home. He tells me Bye followed by No "Bye No". I think he is saying don't go bye anymore.
A month ago, Todd had some dental surgery done, and a week ago, he just learned the word Head and used it immediately to tell me Ouch Head. I took him to the Vet and he said everything looked good, however, the spot where they found and removed a lesion looked slightly irritated. He said he probably bit down wrong on a piece of his kibble and scratched the area. Today head told me Head Happy which I take to mean his mouth is feeling all better now.
Todd also did two more backfoot button presses. I am sure that these are deliberate and on purpose. They always seem to be in context and make sense and one of the presses today was Todd repeating what he had just said.
Todd is a 6yearold 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 45 words on his soundboard. This channel is dedicated to Todd learning to “talk”.
