Billi, The Talking Cat, Has Her Way Of Tricking Mom Into Doing What She Wants (Videos)

by Maryjane

Billi is a 14-year-old domestic shorthair cat. Three weeks after her mother placed the talking buttons on the floor, the talking cat from Florida began pressing the talking buttons that corresponded to words.

She first discovered what "Food" and "Pets" meant. But later, "Mad" became her favorite word, and she is now referred to as Her Madjesty.

"Do you really want to know what your cat is thinking?" is essentially the question. Billi, on the other hand, enjoys constantly pressing the "Mad" button if she doesn't get her way, along with the side-eye and relaxed ears that go with it.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to know when your cat enjoys cuddling, though? What if they activated the "Cuddle" button solely to force you to interact with their preferred "Fan Toy" or to provide them with "Food" in exchange for cuddling?

Billi does that, and putting all jokes aside, she is witty and appears to understand the meaning of the lines perfectly. Her mother, Kendra Baker, claims that she has mastered the art of bartering with a cuddly honey trap!

If mommy desires to cuddle, Billi expects something in return, whether it's food or pressing the "Catnip" button. Who wouldn't want their cat to be able to express that?

Other times, Billi presses the "Love you" button. As would be expected, Billi occasionally lacks clarity in her desires, yet amazingly, she is also able to articulate those desires.

The Cuddle Honey Trap

In one of the BilliSpeaks videos below, she presses the "hmm?" button to indicate uncertainty. Finally, she comes to the conclusion that the Fan Toy is the best option because it occasionally spins from the ceiling fan on a string. 

Billi’s Ultimate Desire is the Coveted Fan Toy

Billi has occasionally gone so far as to demand changes to her cherished Fan Toy. She wants her bunny on the string instead of the customary carrot.

The level of apparent comprehension displayed by this cat is incredibly detailed and fascinating. For cat lovers, this cat's intelligence comes as no surprise, of course.

Although we have an instinctive understanding that our pets can understand some phrases, scientists are unsure if this is indeed a form of communication. The cats will likely rule us by the time the study is finished, and we are okay with that. 

Billi had only a few buttons on the ground when it first began, but she currently has 64 of them!

Billi Pushes 64 Buttons Now

According to her mother, Billi still prefers Mad, Fan Toy, and Pets despite using all 64 buttons after 10 months. It's therefore intriguing that, out of all the possibilities, she keeps returning to these three.

The domestic cat is a participant in a study being conducted by TheyCanTalk.org to determine "whether, and if so, how and how much non-humans are able to express themselves in language-like ways."

Billi Talks About Her Upset Tummy

Leo Trottier, the founder of cognitive science, expressed his delight at cats using the buttons, despite his initial skepticism. He can now see how cats communicate differently from dogs by identifying their favorite phrases and repeating them.

Cats prefer the straightforward things in life. 

“What’s interesting is that they [cats] tend to not do that much in the way of multi-button presses, but there’s like a lot of single-button presses,” Trottier told Salon. “With cats, you kind of have to find things they really want, and there are just fewer of those than with dogs.”

All done!

Would Billi discuss her feelings if she could understand language? Apparently, yes, as it happens that this elderly cat does communicate about having an upset stomach as a symptom of a chronic condition.

Her mother noticed she had vomited one morning, and Billi started repeatedly pushing "Ouch," then "Before." She later felt better after being treated by the vet and pushed "Happy" and "All done," indicating that her stomach ailment had completely subsided.

It is truly amazing!
