When your cat bargains for catnip. 

Cheers it’s my raison d’être since legalization.

It is actually scientifically proven that. If isolated from all social interaction and any other recreational activity/source of comfort and or joy lab rats when given drugs will choose drugs over food. With the opposite being true if given companionship as well

@@indeed8211 it affects there brain. If you give a cat to much catnip it will fuck them up

Imagine what it can do two more papers down the line!

I'm sorry, that's not technology. Well, the buttons are technology but it's something that's been around for a very long time. The cat learning that each button is associated with each thing. So it's a kind of science just not a technological one. This is an association, understanding thing. Of course, there is the fascinating question of does the cat really understands, or is she just associating the buttons? Then arises the question of is there a difference? And the answer to that is yes, and no. In that even human understanding starts with association which then develops into understanding. Ultimately I could say that this proves that a cat has the capacity for understanding/associations of that of a small child.

@@smokeyjoe291 what are you even talking abt?

Welcome to BilliSpeaks! Billi has lots of buttons she uses to communicate (though her favorite button is "mad" lol). Her owner teaches her each word through modeling (pressing "want, outside" if Billi is meowing at the front door, for example) and Billi is very smart. There are other animals that use the same type of buttons Billi does. There's a black and white poodle looking dog named Bunny that I love as well. I highly recommend going through their channels and watching their "How do you teach x how to use the buttons?" types of Q&A's, it's fascinating.

yes

I know it's so cool! Animals are so intelligent!

that cat must've been REAL mad

@@cheemsdog7662 yupe! she going to get punch! As soon as the cat comes back from the gym! (By gym I mean a long catnap!) It would be on steroids (or super cranky!) when it returns!

How does one teach an animal the meaning of Happy/Mad? Outside, catnip, food all seem learnable to me. A cat that knows the meaning of Happy or mad however has me perplexed.

Leeroy Jenkins press the mad button every time the cats mad or youre mad at the cat. It’s no different to them communicating it through body language really, like they pick up what communications relate to what emotions pretty quickly, it’s similar to my cat meowing a particular way when she’s pissed off and wants something. When the cat gets something it wants or is in a good mood or they’ve made you happy you press the happy button, like they might not understand the nuance of the emotions but they get that they’re communicating positive or negative feedback.

Well its a cat, what did you expect?🤣

I imagine they have this exact exchange multiple times each day lol

Billi: “Poop” “Shoe” “Later”

hah mawww!

@@georgelyons9468 Owner: "Can't. Poop. Without. Food." 😈

I addore the owner pattient when she train her cat to do that

Yes they are smart but they can’t talk that’s why we think they are dumb but in reality they are smart like us

Dogs too you know

@@MaTeiso4 yes, but dogs have owners, cats have their house stuff.

This is possible as the owner has a specific time she gives food to Billi, and animals are good at time, etc. So, Billi probably already knew it wasn't time for food yet, and still wanted to try asking.

Uhmmm... no, the cat just heard her say "later", which is why it prepositioned there, and then when the buzzer confirmed it he pressed the "mad" button.

it might also be that shes noticed that pushing that button is more likely to get her the thing she wants! i imagine the owner would be more inclined to give in if they heard their cat sadly push an ‘im mad’ button

​@@meganlodon Cats, unlike dogs, actually do have an internal clock, but they judge time ranges in general, so it's not as exact per se. Kinda like going without seeing the time all day and just having a feeling it's around this time, or knowing it's evening. Using human behavior around them helps, they like routine a lot on average. I know this because I had a cat that, everyday, at exactly 3pm, would start meowing her head off and going crazy for food. She had dry food, she wanted her dinner, aka wet food. Dinner for the kitties was always at 6. However, family would come home around 3, and as soon as said family got home from work, she'd start up, knowing it was somewhat around begging time, because if she was lucky, she'd get it a few minutes to a half hour earlier for being noisy and grabbing at my legs. (I fed them mostly.) Every day though, even if said family member didn't come home at that time, it'd be off by a few minutes of course, or a half hour or so, but she'd always end up starting up around them. She was like a personal alarm clock.

@@kiralonely1307 I actually knew about this, regarding cats' "internal clock", but dogs have it too. I both had several cats _and_ dogs that showed as such, especially this one dog (my grandma's) that knew exactly when the school bus came. So, instead of a parent being out there waiting on me, it was her. My grandma told me that she would always go to the end of the driveway at the same time every-day. Another cool thing: (since she was out there when I got on the bus) if I didn't go to school one morning, she knew not to wait for me in the afternoon. Man, do I miss her.

Don't worry catnip isn't addicting but her wallet probably isn't full enough so you may be right

@Milena Shvedova I would like to speak to the meownager

She's telling all her Cat friends that she's trained her human to give Catnip, Food and "Pets" at the touch of a button.

I am so upset.... But I still want pets!

I mean yeah, if they're trained to think that pressing the button will get them food, they would of course keep pressing. I don't think it's to emphasize, I think it's because they don't fully comprehend the concept, much like how even though you're on your way with the food they'll still meow. They are habitual

I had to stop what I was doing and rewind that part to understand why torpedoes where used.... Then I understood they meant the parents where giving their kids a goat. (My home country way of saying a cheat sheet)

@@Flanneryschickens ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UKWJJIRBNew.html I just found that video to give you an idea of what I meant. I watched the news in 2009 when I had international channels and I wanted to see programs from other countries just because I could 😅 As i said before, it was in the international section that overall last 5 mins so they only mentioned this for 30 seconds. But it was the whole "climbing schools' walls to give their kids torpedoes" that perplexed me. And if I told you the news i would tell you the parents were climbing school's walls to give their kids 🐐 Anyways in my home country I was friends with a girl that had I high score on everything but I knew she wasn't going to get a higher education because she was poor. There are some regions that no matter how smart you are, you might never reach your potential because of poverty. People say "We have a rich country full with poor people because politicians keep the money to themselves instead of giving back to the country." Politicians kids get to go to better school and even to Europe because money can buy their kids better education.

Mine would use the catnip button in between every 2nd press of teh mad button I wager.

I'm guessing you observe when they might be experiencing it and then tell them what that is

I am also wondering how she does this for the word later

Plash har By delaying giving them something that that they want and pressing later

​@@severedpighead4141 Or "later" could be interpreted as "not now"

@@plashhar1736 I think the cat's understanding of "later" is closer to "no"

I was wondering this, too! I get how they would teach them things like "catnip," "food," and "pets." But the other things are concepts, like you said. How do you teach them a concept? Weird! Was also wondering about "I love you" and how that was differentiated from just "pets" or attention.

I have two very different cats and its really interesting to observe what each one picks up :) theyre definately trainable to understand words the same way dogs do, i still havent managed to teach them tricks tho xD ( like , just now, i asked my orange cat to come here and he didnt want pets so he didnt come, but as soon as i lifted my blanket he came over to be covered up x) while my gray tabby comes over immediately if i call her by name )

that's brilliant, I want to learn how to do that

Amazing!!! And pretty similar than what kind of connection I have with my cat. He is trying to prank me every time when we go play to the attic. It is really awesome connection when you go the half way there!!!

Exactly :) This is just one way of plenty to learn (directly or indirectly) to communicate with your pet. Having them speak English words is just one of them (and arguably a bit more self centred lol) Edit: Yes I completely agree. Meeting them half way seems like the best way to me but that's subjective. I mean, when you teach it English words, and that's the focus, then suddenly that's how you communicate. I guess you still understand some cat language, but you'll get a stronger bond by learning some of ITS language, I think. Body language, meows, trills, all of that. Of course again, there's some things that are harder for the cat to express I guess, but then again again, it can easily show that by physical signs (walking towards door, meowing, then looking back at you - obviously it wants to go outside.)

Yeah my cat doesn't really seem to absorb words at all, but she picks up on gestures so quickly. She's very easy to communicate with, just have to learn how to do it.

@Jessica Stein yea haha

Yeah. I have to deal with one of these types of idiots everyday at work. ergh...

@@jeromedado7416 no no I know. I like cats

@@jeromedado7416 Nah cats are intelligent animals, there just to lazy to work out

@@jeromedado7416 They try to be a bit independent which is why it is hard to train them unlike dogs who just wags their tail to anyone they see.

Animals are pretty smart. Humans tend to associate intelligence with the ability to talk (read verbally communicate) so naturally the inherent belief of most people is that animals are dumb. However, animals simply lack the ability to formulate sounds like humans, but are actually quite intelligent. Cats and dogs typically reside around the 2 to 4 year old human intelligence. If you've ever done time with a 2 to 4 year old person, you'll realize that's actually terrifyingly intelligent. Remember this when you discipline your animals! They should not be hit any more than a 2 year old should be hit!

@@joshuakuehn agreed. Never hit your furbaby, just learn how to discourage bad behaviour & reinforce good behaviour

She*

mad. mad. mad. mad. drugs. still mad. mad. pets. drugs. mad. Bargain: 100

Yeah, its defo the latter. She just associates the noise with food or pets. And appears to press random sometimes out of frustration

@@dragonvarine7553 Regardless. Learning is apparent. This can lead to some interesting developments as the more patient thinkers of the animal world are given these buttons to speak.

Dragonvarine that’s technically understanding. Associating correctly a word or phrase with an action or concrete object is sort of how language acquisition happens already. You can very easily teach a cat that the word “food” refers to what you put in their bowl. You can teach a cat that “water” is the liquid you put in their other bowl. You can teach them that “pets” is what happens when you’re touching them. You can do this over and over for all sorts of different things and eventually the animal may be able to press a button and tell you what they want. Other concepts like “later” are harder to teach, but still possible. Skinner did experiments with all kinds of animals about delayed gratification. The animals that waited received bigger rewards and eventually learned patience. I imagine you could teach the word “later” along with this concept by pairing delayed gratification with the stimulus of the sound “later”. Animals absolutely do learn and can understand, we just often have to train them to do specific tasks to show us that they do.

@@dragonvarine7553 Just like how we learn other languages

There's a few dogs like Bunny and cats like Billi that are using these buttons to communicate. Do they inherently understand the word? No. Babies don't understand words like exhausted or need or go, etc; but the language is taught. It's been told time and time again that some animals have intelligence equivocal to toddlers, and we teach them: "Eat" as we 'airplane' food into their mouth. or tell them to "Go run and play" as they zoom around the yard. It's clear to me that you can teach a dog to sit, and match the word to the action, and they associate what they do with the word. I can ask my dog to "Find rope" and "find ball" and because of my persistent training, he understands the difference between the two. He understands what "Find" means, and understands what each object is called. Now if we give him the option to ask back like "Where ball" (which sounds like toddler talk), then the connection can be: Where ball? Ball here. Have ball. As you show and give to him.
