For some prime direct examples of cat language comprehension, look at YouTube videos of cats set up with talking buttons. Most will pick up the basics like "food" and "play" easily, and some will actively use dozens of words to communicate as well as basic compound ideas (like "mad" "outside" when it's raining).
- buildbot 2y agoYep! If you have a food motivated cat, they can pretty easily pickup tricks - My cat knows sit, shake, speak, up, and 360. Not sure if higher lever words/concepts such as, it’s raining outside, are making it through.
- wrboyce 2y agoHow did you train “speak”? One of our cats can do sit, high five, and 360 but I wouldn’t even know where to start getting them to speak!
- buildbot 2y agoWe just had a hand signal plus saying speak while holding a treat until she meowed at us, Then we gave it to her. I don’t actually recommend this, because it’s basically training them to always yell for food haha. And trying to train her to shush has yet to work.
