One of the things I enjoy about these is the difference between the cat and the dogs. The dogs are in general very declarative, although sometimes unsure about what is going on or what they want.
The cat on the other hand is only interested in itself and its family member (ie. doesn't care about what's going on outside); but it also seems to change its mind constantly. It might ask for one thing, then seem to think about it and change its mind to something else and change the buttons it is pressing.
But processing the data from them is really hard. Obviously they know a lot of these words, but its when they combine them in interesting ways that you begin to wonder how deep their understanding and ability to express goes. For example Bunny might combine her meager word-set to express something that makes you wonder if what she's trying to say is more than the sum of her words, and if whether she understands it at that level.
- crooked-v 6y agoFor one of the funnier examples with the cat, take a look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP2SyvutIKA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP2SyvutIKA She pushes the 'Outside' button, goes to the door and looks at the snow and slush outside, and immediately turns around and goes back in... and then a few minutes later pushes the 'Outside' button again while staring at her owner (and not actually going to the door), obviously expecting or hoping for something to happen that will 'fix' the unpleasant weather.
