Cat understand human speech

[Caspers Human]

A friend of mine has a big dog, like a German Shepherd, and a six month old cat that likes to eat the dog's food. My friend will tell the cat, "No! You're not supposed to eat dog food!"

He said that, when he says that, the dog will go over to his food dish, pick up a mouthful of food, take it over and drop it on the floor in front of the cat!

As I was told, this has happened several times, now.

Magnus gets very overstimulated. It's resulted in us using the new large cat carrier and popping him in it for a moment. He doesn't mind. He sits there, sometimes plays with Cal or Ghost through the holes if they come by to check on him.

Now. If he's getting like he can't focus on anything but being naughty....he goes and puts himself in the crate. Sometimes stays a moment and sometimes just goes in, turns around and comes back out.

So yesterday I ask him, "Please just go put naughty Magnus away and let good boi Magnus out." And that's what he did! Well we got 5 minutes of good behaviour anyways he acted up again when we told him he couldn't go outside even after he asked ni e with buttons.

What are these buttons that you’ve referred to? Are your cats trained to literally press certain buttons on a device?

There's lots of types. They're called AAC buttons.

Here's an example Recordable Buttons ¹

I have a thread about it here: AAC Buttons
