The Fact He Plans Out His Day Truly Amazes Me 

I love that he asks to be picked up by reaching as high as he can.

I wonder if maybe Todd was planning his day the following morning, starting with cuddles, brush and THEN whirly? I’ve noticed with other animals using buttons, they also like to plan their day ahead and then announce their plans. Such organized little minds they have!

Todd may be planning his day, but I also think he is checking on Dad’s availability later!! Todd loves Dad and gets sad when Dad is away!! ☮️❤️

I don't think I've ever seen the entire "nest" before! Todd wants a little bit of everything today to maximize Dad availability.

Wow, he's got a lot on his mind. "Dad, lots to catch up on since you were gone".

Todd sure does miss you when you're gone and wants to make up on all the time you've missed together ❤️

"Yay! Dad's home! Now I plan our business agenda." -- Todd ❤😻😽

Human toddlers are very much like that, wanting to get a queue built up of things to do so they feel assured of one's company. A lot of insight into my kitties available here, that fits 100% into the Tibetan Buddhist teaching that animals feel all the same emotions we do.

I think he was letting you know so that you could add these things to your schedule for the day. LOL He is very considerate.

It was cool seeing your upstairs! I pictured it very different. 🤣😃 I had never heard of ambush toy, laser mouse, or butterfly. Todd was a busy boy! It is always so sweet to see him press, "I love you." 😻💖 That really must feel very special to hear Todd "say" that. 😁👍

Todd is such a happy cat when you held him his tail is straight out. Neat to see the human eye level perspective of the room instead of kitty level.

This is the most important thing I am learning about now. Koko the gorilla who may have used sign language probably would have done better with (sturdier!) buttons. When I was a kid, reading SF, I wanted so much to meet aliens and learn to talk with them. They were right here all the time! Wonder if anybody has tried to devise buttons for octopi.

Dad tells Todd "later", so Todd tells Dad "later"... brush later.... LOL Todd exhibits his knowledge of time. Brush later..... whirley later..... cuddles later.... now I am planning my day. What a Cat!!!

I will start by verifying that I have only seen about maybe 6 or 7 different channels...I think 5 cats and 2 dogs...all fairly popular channels and a spattering of small channels with people trying the buttons, and I have to say that I think Todd and Billi from BilliSpeaks are the two who have amazed me the most. They really truly seem to "get it" and are communicating on some level. Of course it takes a lot of time and dedication from Todd's Dad and Billi's Mom to see it through and also I believe the bond between them and their "hoomans" is a main part of it also....they both seem to almost need to talk to them. Their bond is so strong they really desire to communicate with their Dad and Mom. That's not to say of course that cats or dogs who don't get the button concept or use them don't have a wonderful special bond with their owners but just like people these animals have different personalities and varying degrees of intelligence. What's important to one may not be for another. Todd seems highly intelligent as well as extremely bonded with Dad and craves not just his attention but a true connection through the words he's learning.

I think Todd might have been saying “later morning” for his brush & toys. He really pulled out every toy he could think of”to make up for your absence!

Todd is so happy and playful! It's great to see you two reunited. I love the way that he not only tells you what he wants to do now, but also later, and also makes observations about the time of day.

I find it pretty interesting how he knows what he wants and when he wants it lol

Todd is so happy his Papa is back home! So beautiful to see your relationship! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜♥️

I wonder if he's pushing "later morning" to say _tomorrow_ morning... Pretty cool.

Todd has been dreaming of playing with dad when he got back!!! ❤

Don't think you're getting much work done this morning, Todd certainly has you hopping! lol

Dad's home, we are pulling out all the toys- Says Todd.

When you said "absolutely we can play Jingle Ball" Todds tail went straight up! I love this little guy, he is so so so intelligent!

Seems Mr. Todd planned his itinerary for your return, 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

He's more organised than me lol

What a busy cat! Seems like he has your day planned out. He's so fun. 🎁👑

Todd is so lucky to have a man servant 😉😺😸😹

You guys are just the sweetest things on the planet! 😻 It makes my heart so happy to see how much you love each other. ♥️😻♥️

It just proves how smart he is. And, a Good Boy!❤😊

Todd is planning his day and in the mean time is planning yours also… how adorable he is you can tell how much he missed his Papa

lol I think he’s going down the line of anything pertaining to dad , he wants to do ❤❤

He’s just so happy dads home and ready to spend time with him, he’s wanting to make up for lost time ❤

Of course a cat has to plan its day.The mice and birds are at different places at different times-in particular it is easier To get them dring sunset and sunrise.... So planning the day is paramount. Admittedly Todd plans for food-mousie and huntig ambush toy, and cuddles, brushings and floor time, but it is all just the same to Todd ;-)

I love how dad is with his babies ❤

Todd is such an adorable fur ball, really treating himself with all the back-to-back requests 😂 you can tell he is excited dad is back and wants to EVERYTHING with dad now 💞

Oh my goodness. I just love this video. The first opening scene was so sweet. The way Todd holds his tail straight out when you were holding him was so cute. I love watching you both be so connected to each other. That bond is priceless. Real love❤️

Ha! Todd got so excited when you got home. You sound a lot better too hope all well 👍 🙏

That clever kitty has got you so well trained!

It's almost time to put my Todd calander up!! I can't wait to see that sweet face on my wall everyday. I love how he hugs you it's so freekin sweet.

Just plan to spend the day with Todd! lol nonstop play and activities with your best buddy, Todd. You sound better too! Todd wants to make sure to celebrate your return. Oh happy day!

When Todd said, “Later” followed by “Morning”, did he mean tomorrow morning?

He counts the "latters" when you are away, i winder if he is using the time of day buttons in a similar manner for planning days or to say "can i have (insert want) tommarow morning? Or do you leave agian?"

New camera! Liking the new viewpoint!

Love the new camera angle. Truly thought your upstairs was bigger but it’s a cozy little attic redo. Nice retreat for you and Todd and occasionally Glamour and Paulie. 💖👍🏼😁👍🏼

What can I say, another wonderful video that made me smile. 😊🐾

you love each other so much, it's so heartwarming to see!

I never thought I’d be this fascinated by a beautiful cat using buttons. He really likes to make up for lost time when you’re gone. So precious! Even Glamour is cute, and spicy!

Welcome home, Dad! It sounds like you're feeling better. Todd stretching his arms out to give you a hug was amazing. Such a cozy office space, and the new camera angle is quite nice.

Well I have to say Todd amazes me too. He is an incredible cat. And even after watching these videos for just a short time, I think it's plain to see that Todd is your soul cat. I had that once also, and everyone with a cat should be so fortunate.

I recall a study regarding feral cats; they had a daily routine amazing enough. I especially recall one whose actions were described as 'trying to dispossess the resident cat.' He found a place he like and decided to move in. What do you think of that?

Wellcome back.

Yay! Dad is back! Love todd :D

Now that you’re back from your trip, I am almost certain that Todd is not planning the rest of his morning to redo the same things he just did, I feel very strongly that Todd is trying to communicate that he wants to make sure YOU are planning to be there with him tomorrow - “later-morning”. Before you left this last time he seemed upset and from what I saw he only knew you were leaving shortly before you had to go when he saw your toiletry bag. I’m guessing that at some point the day before when he was planning something to do with you, he was using the later button to signify tomorrow and he may have thought you were actually confirming that you would NOT be leaving the following day - then when he saw your toiletry bag, that frustrated him to say the least lol. Next time I would love to see you tell him a day or two in advance and keep him updated on your schedule so he can prepare himself and plan for your absence accordingly. I just do not think he’s telling you “later” followed by the word “morning” over and over just to confirm that he wants similar things he just received, later this morning. He is so smart, he must be referring to THE “later-morning” - tomorrow. I’m sure he is letting you do all that stuff he likes just about any time, including “now”, but his deepest concern is whether you will be there in the morning or if you’re going to be leaving again. Especially since you mentioned in the previous video that you tell him how many “laters” you have left on your trip when you talk to him on the camera every day until you get home - now the next thing he’s talking about as soon as you get home is his plans for your next “later”. It makes sense! Do you have a button for “tomorrow”? Btw you are such an inspiring cat dad thank you so much for all you share with us, and I absolutely, truly love Todd 😭😻

Ive known cats to show time awareness because they wait somewhere for a human to return home at a specific time. Thing is this is next level because he's testing to see if you are going be there for a "later morning "

AWWW, TODD IS SO HAPPY HE RAN TO DAD N PUT HIS PAWS UP SO DAD CAN PICK HIM UP HE IS SO HAPPY HE WANTS TO PLAY WITH EVERYTHING RIGHT AWAY

Animals are not as daft as people think! 😂

Your cat is amazing ❤❤❤❤

He's just OMG darnit cute!! Reminds me of my lil man 😺❣🐈

Todd is so smart and thoughtful.

Omg he’s much bigger than I thought. He’s no less cute n smart but perspective. I’m still in awe of his communication skills. Sooo smart

what a smarty kitty))

Gosh, so cute. The way he watches you. He is alwya trying to learn, to listen and figure things out.

It is a truly precious and wonderful thing to be owned by a cat ❤❤

Lol. I love the way dad said “ BRUSH”. 😂

What a smart kitty he is! And beautiful as well.

The word pad is starting to resemble (to me) one of the robots from MST 3000.

😻

i think it's a question of.....YOU WENT way so now you're back give me lots of attention...xxx

I really love their baskets on your desk. 😻😻 And Todd's happy tail when you cuddled him. Beautiful. 😍

Todd is a muffin, so cute

Todd loves his dad, and misses you when on business. he loves playing and attention when you return! you have a great relation ship! Todd is such a great cat and is so smart ! thank you for sharing your and Todd’s time!

I kept hoping the other cat would come over and use the talk buttons too.

This was really funny😆He was going through his entire board and stock-piling activities for later too while he was at it. He loves having you home!!

❤❤❤

"Planning for the day is like planning for a Disney trip. So many things to do, but knowing what and when to do them goes a long way." -Todd, and a member of the Disney Food Blog. Probably

First, the stretch in to shoulder based cuddes was amazing. Second, do you have links to the ambush toy and butterfly? Seems like an affiliate link opportunity. Third, it almost sounds like Todd is asking for things later to make sure you will be home.

Todd's dad...first I cried watching you hold and love on Todd!! I wish every cat had a daddy like you!! Also ...is Todd enrolled in the UCS research project??.he should be!!!

Seems like Todd was catching up on playtime now that dad is home. He seemed very happy today. Everything is how it should be in his world. There were a few toys I hadn't heard Todd ask for before

Hes sooo happy!

❤❤❤❤❤

This is very impressive but scary, too, lol. If you truly want your cat to learn how to use that board, you have to respond immediately, every time he asks for something. My cat might not know English, but I can ignore him when I want to!

Hey Dad, your cold sound a bit better! Hope so! I really enjoyed the long view so we could see the layout better, like the 2 baskets on your desk, Glamour’s box by the chair and the jingle ball runway! Very helpful for Todd’s fans to understand his domain. Loved to see Todd plan out his day and his second brush later. How does he tell you when it is time in his mind? Does he use his buttons and say brush now?

Thank you.

He's amazing! ❤

Is it possible he is inquiring about various activities Later-Morning as in "Are we going to brush/toy/etc tomorrow morning?"

Hi my cat is 10 weeks and he is really cuddly, smart, playful, curious, brave, attentive to me. He fetches and pushes a ball back and forth to me, he climbs and rides on my shoulder. He is so sweet. He has surprised me multiple times with how he reappropriated a toy the other cats didn't like as is either. So I ordered him a fluentpet kit. What do you think his first six words should be?

Pure love comes from our Heavenly Father. Our job is to glorify Him by enjoying Him and sharing Him with others. This includes the animal kingdom. He gave us charge over animals, and a set of rules to live by, highlighting the two most important commandments (Matthew 22:37-40). I am sure Jesus is in Heaven with a cat in His lap and a dog at His feet. He probably has a pony, a hamster, a rooster, and a bunny. His love is limitless.

Some of these people treat their animals with far greater decency, attention and care than many parents treat their children. Some children barely get 'the time of day' from their parents, but those parents *_do not_* spend time with their children, meeting their heart-needs, the way Todd's person does with Todd. While Todd's caretaker is commendable, a great many parents are pathetic. Todd *_knows_* he is loved, but many children either don't or they know they aren't. What a huge contrast. They have taken their children for granted, much like many have taken their animals for granted, both believing their charge didn't have much intelligence or significance to offer, and both were wrong. As we observe animals like Todd and Bunny and elephant Faa Mai and the Sheldrick elephant orphans, we realize that mankind has always been very wrong about animals. If we can learn to value and take seriously, with respect, these animals, then how greatly rewarded will we be when we realize how worthy of heart investment one's own children are?! It is *_time_* for people to wake up to truly value the animals and their own.

Does Todd have day or afternoon button? Cause I think he tried to say with 'morning' later morning = day

I went to give day no. 2 present to my son and his partner this morning, my son's partner was watching youtube, and I realised she hadn't watched the unboxing video! She was absolutely delighted. I have also ordered some miniature Chanukah table decorations but I don't think they will get here before Saturday since I had to order from overseas. I will absolutely be doing a little holiday table for them next year, though. Maybe also one for Pesach.

I think he's making appointments with you for the following morning. 😂

Did you get to call Todd everyday whilst you were away? I bet Todd loves to hear your voice. Is that a Glamour we in the video? Todd seems to have every day planned out for Maximum Dad time

Had a thought... Why not take 3-5 directly related videos and stitch them together to make some long-form videos. Longer videos equals more revenue equals more toys etc. for your fur babies. 😊

Could you please share the names of the toys and where you got them so I can figure out how to order them? What would I google if I wanted to find an ambush toy?

Todd needs an agenda so he can plan his day. He is going to pencil you in for cuddles later. Lol But seriously, I think he needs more buttons to express himself about time. Does he have an after button, or a way to to talk about this morning versus next morning?

When you aren't there does Todd 'talk' to your wife or does he only communicate with you ? Another question I have is whether your other cats have ever tried to use the buttons after watching you and Todd?

Is he trying to tell you what he wants tomorrow morning?

Does he interact with the buttons when you are away and he is alone with your wife and the other cats? I just wonder if the buttons are specific to your relationship. Maybe he would miss button time communication when you are away, as if he was in a foreign land where no one spoke his sophisticated language.

Could he be asking for brushes and cuddles "later morning" as a way of testing if you will be here to do those things tomorrow morning? Do you leave for your business trips in the morning? Idk... I'm just trying to think about this from another angle... 🤔

What is your other Cats name?
