Todd Said Something Rather Concerning - This Is Why I Taught Todd To Talk!

I just returned home from a 7-day business trip and one of the first things Todd tells me is Glamour’s back is not happy. I looked her over and her back does seem a little sensitive. She is not in distress but seems sore. I will get a vet appointment and get it checked out. Glamour is 15 years old and it may just be the effects of getting older. No matter what it is we will see what we can do so she is comfortable.
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 53 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.

@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks 2 дня назад

@@TheDopekitty It depends and the cat and the concept. A favorite toy is going to be easier than Before. You have to be patient and model everything until the concept is understood. It is not recommended to give a food or treat button until they are well established if at all. It can slow or stop progress, especially with food-motivated cats and the board just becomes a treat dispenser. I have never used a treat or food to encourage Todd. His reward is a big Good boy! You are right, you got it! When he gets it right he is excited and happy. He loves to learn and getting new words is his favorite thing.

It voiod be that he is expressing that Glamour’s back is just sensitive and uncomfortable, not actually causing pain . That would be an amazing distinction being able to distinguish and verbalize the difference between discomfort ( not happy) and actual pain. He did have the choice of a button to,express pain, right? But didn’t use it.

@kohlfrog 5 дней назад

There have actually been official studies done on various species(birds are the first that come to mind) that show altruism with birds who had access to food making sure those who could not reach it stayed fed. They do better than people! Also teaching and communication is very common in the animal world. For example they now know that dolphins speak different dialects based on their pod and home location. Sometimes they even have get togethers with multiple pods all speaking different dialects, but still seem to understand each other and communicate just fine.

It’s interesting that he thought it was important enough to mention it right away instead of asking about getting some cuddles or if he can play, then bringing up his concerns about her. In the relatively short time I’ve been watching, he’s tackled bigger and bigger concepts as he teaches himself (and you) to combine words & phrases. He’s such a good boy. 💜 I hope y’all have a great holiday & that the vet visit is uneventful because she’s feeling better. 🎇🎆

He must watch her and determine from her behavior the discomfort. +100 for observation, +1000 for having a model of another cats inner state. 3) He finds a way to communicate that sth. is wrong with Glamour. +100 for innovative use of Button 4) impeccable character and smarts. +1 000 000 000 for that ;-)

@mountainkimmie 10 дней назад

You raise an important point. It seems to me that when trying to increase communication with our companion animals by teaching them to use *our* language, we also need to be observant of and open to *their* natural means of communication. Our pets are communicating with us all the time and often we probably aren't catching the full context of what they are trying to tell us, although anyone who loves a pet knows that after awhile you both get to understand each other pretty well. Thus, if Todd's sentence using the buttons is important, so are the other cues he would naturally use to get his meaning across. It's tempting to want him to use buttons to confirm his Dad got it right, but maybe he doesn't think that's necessary if his affectionate caress was his reply. Not trying to lay down absolutes here, just speculating about the "mixed media" cats (and dogs) might choose to use to communicate.

I feel like this could be kind of a historical event. It's just so amazing. It shows that not only can Todd communicate, but also that he's capable of talking about the needs of another cat, and about something that is really important and should be addressed. I just feel like that this whole interaction requires a pretty high level of brain development. I know other things have been noticed, like he plans his day ahead of time, likes to make appointments for certain events, can tell what time of day it is, and invents new toys. And he has shown empathy for Glamour and Paulie before. And I know that cats are very empathetic. But it still seems so amazing because Glamour really was hurt, and he alerted you about that immediately.

@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks 9 дней назад

I agree. I have felt this way ever since he started combining words together in ways I did not teach him to express ideas I had not taught him.

I agree, it may have taken a few days to notice. I check on my babies everyday but Glamour is spicy to say the least and uncomfortable Glamour is not much different from normal Glamour.

@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks 3 дня назад

YEs, I think that was I want her back to feel batter. If Todd gets an ouch when it's better he will tell me it's Happy now. Example I accidentally stepped on his tail a while back and the next day he told me his tail was happy now.

@hayleymariemills 10 дней назад

I bet your wife (and the vet) still thinks it's wild when you tell her things like "Todd told me that Glamour's back hurts" because even though we watch all of these videos (and the vet has confirmed previous times Todd said something hurt) i am still super impressed each time something so awesome happens! ❤

@@TheChroniclesofToddToddTalks and since you had just returned from a trip, "back" might have been in that context, but you waited and asked for more. I remember a while back you saying you were learning to slow down your responses to let Todd lead more. I'm really fascinated that this was the first thing he said to you. It must have been weighing on his mind.

Thank you very much for sharing, friend. Wishing you and Todd a lovely day today!

I don't know how you're managing Glamour's arthritis, or what your vet has recommended. There is a monthly injection that worked extremely well for my elderly kitty and made her last years much more comfortable and restored much of her mobility. Its Solencia. Might want to see what your vet thinks.

I don't know if that is what is bothering her, just a guess on my part with her age. If it is and the vet recommends it we will do it

My boy is 14 and his back is where his arthritis was first noticeable, he was sensitive when she prodded it gently during an exam. My vet is amazing and knows to check this in older cats. Todd is so perceptive to notice this and mention it to you. I think he knew it wasn’t quite an ‘ouch’, but that Glamour wasn’t comfortable - he’s such a sweet boy!

@danakchampion 11 дней назад

I am floored. 🤯 Todd just keeps raising the bar. I hope Glamour kitty is alright. 😢 Even if it is normal aging or a temporary injury, knowing that she is uncomfortable can help you do more to ease her symptoms. Like pain medication, CBD or heat therapy as someone else mentioned. At least your vet already knows about Todd's special talents. Still would love to be a fly on the wall when you explain "reason for visit" this time around. 😂 I saw this ad for an infrared device for pets, showed the owner using it on her own wrist too. Thought to myself I could use one of those. 😅 I also like watching pet chiropractors on YT though I don't know how easy those are to find and would take someone special to handle your spicy girl. Some ideas to look into if affordable. Much love to Glamour, Todd, Paulie, Mom and Dad. ❤️‍🩹

@kimfleury 11 дней назад

Ok, let me wipe the tears out of my eyes so I can wish you and your lovely family a very Happy 4th of July. How very kind of Todd to let you know his adored Glamour is not feeling tip top. The way he worded it as, "Want happy," is even more heart wrenching than just plain, "Ouch." And then when you clarified with him, "Glamour back ouch hmm?," the way he rubbed against your legs was as clear as a bell, "Yes, Dad! That's what I meant." Well, that all brought tears to my eyes. I offer the suggestion to ask for a blood test for kidney function, because failing kidneys can also cause backache. I'm sure your vet will advise it. I pray that's not what it is, but if that's what it turns out to be, then you've got the benefit most cat caregivers don't get: catching it before the crisis! Even if it's "just" arthritis (not that arthritis isn't sad enough), then you've got the benefit of being able to treat early. If it is arthritis, I may be able to offer resources with suggestions that can even reverse it, nothing magical, just sports medicine physical therapy, standard practice stretches. It works for humans and cats alike, and dogs and horses, too. Glamour and all of you are in my prayers! Happy Independence Day 🎆
