Next time I’m using her as a dumbbell, then we can work out together 😹
Billi is a female domestic shorthair, she's 12 years old, her favorite word is mad. Inspiration from Hunger4Words (check her out on IG).

Billi thinks playing mousie is work out enough for you .
Why can't billy talk ?
😊She's do precious 💕💕
If Billi understands enough words, she might be able to understand videos! Maybe she might enjoy watching movies/TV/DEhave while you're busy or outside? I've seen videos of non-speaking cats enjoying that. :P Maybe that would even help reinforce some words.
I will literally die for Billi
I look forward to these videos. 🤩🐱🙌🏼
Wouldn’t play with me when I wanted? Won’t play with you when YOU want to. 😂
What the hell why her personality is exactly like my cat. Walking same way, playing same way, wiggling tail same way, looking almost like a human at you in same way
if i ever have a cat, i will give them buttons too :D
Luckily our cats are not this smart otherwise one of them would be spamming the one for my name 90% of the day
"Cat goes mad"
This what you get when you let a mere animal run the household. LOL
Bruce Banner... I'm always angry 😄 Just for fun...swap out the Mad button. See what she does when it doesn't say mad. 😀
How old is Billi? How did you name her? Have a great weekend!
Why don't you give Billi a "Nahhh, bitch!" button?
I WANNA PET HER AHHHHHHHHHHH TOO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Billi angi
My dogs and cat do the same thing and I didn't even notice for a long time...when they don't like something Im asking they shake their head "no" and I'm like ooooh snap you didn't just shake your head at me! Im channeling my mother at that point and then it makes me sad.
You are so brave putting your life on the interwebs for everyone to judge.
It was at about 10 sec in.
"She would never survive in the wild"... Be sure not to say that out loud. She'll spam that "Mad" button.
"She would never survive in the wild". The shade, lol
BILLI CUTE and i love her so much
i love seeing a cat so well acquainted with the buttons! i wonder, how long has billi been using them? and what the training process was like? i have three cats and a pup of my own and i've been dying to implement fluent pet buttons into our routine
We started in May 2020, so not quite a year yet! Check out our training FAQ vids, and the resources listed there 😊
Have you tried teaching Billi to fetch? It's actually pretty easy with young cats. I've taught cats in like 30mins before. But, I haven't really tried to much with adult cats.
the blep this ends on ☺
I live for these uploads
so cute! look at her running down the hall.
Beautiful interaction 😘❤️
you know what's fascinating? She looks at you way more than most cats do. Her brain is truly being more programmed for communication. Humans look for facial cues in addition to hearing the words spoken.
Some guy did a video proving that cats do not understand the buttons. However, he made a fatal flaw in his training, he tied treats to a treats button.
I love your channel and I love watching. Billi on her journey with using human speech to communicate. I have a question tho about Billi’s natural vocalizations. I realize different cats have different levels of vocalizing to communicate with their humans. Do you think Billi vocalizes more, less or the same now that she has her buttons? Part of me would love to train my boys on button speaking. They are smart cats who love learning/figuring out new things, but I’m concerned it might make them less vocal and that would break my heart.
@BilliSpeaks thank you!
She’s definitely become less vocal since starting the buttons, but she’s by no means mute.
Would be cool if Billi had a feline friend
Love these videos so much!
My heart broke at mad tho
The fact that she IMMEDIATELY jumped to slamming the mad button.... she's so smart and SO angry
Her false "catch" makes me laugh so much
Try her with paper balls .
I love these videos and I love billi so freaking much. Thank you for these videos, they help me feel uplifted
She sure likes that MAD button and she always looks mad when she's pressing it. 100% sure she knows what it means xD
omg she's hilarious, playing mouse includes running after it and then coming back for more, she's so adorable
My cats are watching Billi videos all the time now. one of them has mastered the outside and is working in inside buttons, but he keeps erasing them by pressing too long. Is there any way to prevent the long press to record over button from deleting my words whenever he presses too long?
Okay, I looked up the brand you are talking about. There is a red button on the side, right. Argh, to ones I have are Galapara on Amazon, and they only record when you press and hold them down. There seems to be no lock. Hence the constant erasing of buttons. Poor Marilyn! I may have to invest in new buttons. Grrr... Are the Pet Fluent buttons worth it though?
@BilliSpeaks Thanks. My buttons are from China. I live in Thailand, so I can't get the Pet Fluent set up because massive import taxes and shipping costs.My buttons looks exactly like your big ones, except they are black at the base and colored on top. Can you tell me where the off switch for recording is located on yours? I have searched and don't see anything intuitive on mine. But my poor little dude just keeps pressing too long and recording over his buttons. Very frustrating and confusing for him, I'm sure. THANK YOU! We are a Billi fanclub family here.
There’s a lock switch on the FluentPet buttons, and a way to remove the red record button from the Learning Resources buttons.
I felt that When I want to do my workout and my doggos just keep on pushing the door and coming on my lap to cuddle 😅 Or they come and WATCH you 👁️👄👁️ It's not easy to workout when you have pets hahaha
Love the vids. Is the mad voice different to usual?
Try getting Billie an exercise wheel and taking her on walks outside. She seems like she prefers outside and more moving. That's probably why she keeps saying angry.
Are you are Billi means cat in Punjabi?
This is how my cat plays mousey too, where I have to gather up several so I can throw them to her down a hall. Except she likes me to throw them in a high arc so she can J U M P and grab them. Sometimes she does a flip. Poor baby, we don't have a long hallway in this apartment we just moved to!
Youгs videos make me happy
i'm starting to think billi is a tsundere
My cat don't play with static things or things that only move straight... If "mousey" stop moving I guess Billie isn't interested anymore either.
How did you teach her/model the meaning/use of the mad button? I'm very curious.
Check out our FAQ vid on mad 😊
Wish i had a bedside button Mad x 2 guaranteed every morning.
Say the line, Billi! Billi: MAD x2 YAAAAYYYYY
Billi like "It's like you taught me to speak just to ignore and mock me >:("
Just a thought to make the "mousey" more fun/excitable for Billie, maybe attach a long string firmly to the tail and jitter the mouse about when she gets to it using said string? Just a thought.
People forever obessed with hearing or having themselves seen more thna the animals.
She's the cutest, we must protest her at all costs! 😍
How much you want for the cat ?
You need “mad” merch! 😂
She’s a champion.
Wow she’s so smart! I wish I could afford a bunch of buttons! My oldest dog knows a lot of Words
I once scooped up Frida Katlo and used her as my weight for squats. She got cuddles, I got some reps in... She didn't let me do it ever again, though. Ha!
Love the name 😹
Bili is too cute and very smart. Give her some pets from us. 💜💜
HOW CUTE ❤❤ "Mad, Mad"
My cat is the same exact way, he never retrieves, he chases after it and then when he get to it, waits for me to come get it and throw it again lol.
well, you are his servant after all.
I laughed when she pressed the mad button twice. Also one of my cats would never survive in the wild either lmao
I live for your videos, honestly. They make me so happy to see you and your cat communicate so well, I wish I could do this for mine! ♥
Was waiting for the "mad" after she has finished scratching - frustrating human Billi play NOW 😾😹
So Ive seen a number of your vids on and off again But the daytime "scientist"/night time cat whisperer in me would really appreciate a retrospective of sorts A quick run down as the kids say. Like how did it start/develope/ discrepancies? I know its a rewuest for work from you but in the meantime ill be sorting through your profile oldest to newest as I simply must know.
I love Bili so much! OMG, she is precious with her mousies!
Billie is so cute.. she loves your affection
mousy reminds me of my cats favorite game "ball" Its basically mousy with super soft sponge "golf" balls which I hide behind my hand before flicking across the room. The nice thing is they are soft enough he can carry them back like fetch!
The mousey boops have me hollering. She's so gentle 😂
billi always makes my day
I know it doesn't matter for this video, but I'm happy to see someone finally write "work out," the verb, correctly. Only the noun is one word. Drives me crazy.
I love how the different toys each have a different style of play!
When I had to do physical therapy after shoulder surgery, one of my cats would always rush over so that he would be right at my toes so I could incidentally give him belly rubs as I went through rotations. And later, I would use the smaller cat as a weight to enhance my strength building. It worked out great to include them in my work outs!
Mmmmmwahhhhhh billi I will kiss u sacred precious cottony cutie
Billi touches mouse: tag, you’re it
I love Billi's expressions lol.
So cats can spam too?
Omg i effing love this cat!!!!!!!!!!
How old is billy? 😍
She’s 12y 😊
Mad, mad, mad, mad!! Throw the mousie, I'll run after it, find it, then you go get it, throw it again, I'll go find it. Mad, mad, mad!!
😄mad mad
Billi is a diplomat not a survivalist.
I'd say she's got about 50% of playing fetch down for sure ;D. The whole "run away" thing. She just need to work on "bring thing back" too :).
When weather kept us indoors, the parents would have me workout with the cat by having me run around with the fishing pole style cat toy dragging behind me. It was great exercise for all involved.
It would have been funny if after the workout when you asked about play is she had said "NO" and walked off.
The way she looks at you when she says "mad" is priceless lol
I agree, fantastic look 😅
"Later" a n g e r y
Four days of consistent upload ❤️
she knows what she likes to do
💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕
She really doesn't need any time to process before hitting buttons anymore! This is amazing, please let us know what any linguists who are studying footage publish. I believe that both you and u/whaaboutbunny are recording for linguists at univerisities. Again, very much going to work with these buttons with next cat! Studying these buttons is helping me get through some heavy stuff, thanks for new hobby idea!
One of my cats brings his mousey back like a dog playing fetch. The others do like Billie. I love seeing these videos.
Mine will only fetch hair elastics. All of the cool toys she has, and she only fetches hair ties, smh.
I have a fetcher, too.
So adorable 🤗😽😻 People who love Cats have some of the biggest hearts around 🐾💓🙏
Billi do you need more color words were that little kids can hear those words what do you want to do something! BILLI
My cat used to bring the mousey back when I played this game with him as a kitten. When we adopted our third cat he got cranky and stopped bringing it back. I miss those days. Now he's a grumpy old man. I love him so much!
You found out to communicate with a cat using spoken language. Then you recorded it. You and Billie are making history
Really funny one today, thanks :)
billy kinda look like she always has an existancial crisis
