its great confirmation that our cats sometimes want our involvement in play. my cat always prefers when im actively playing with her. also shows that they are not mindlessly attacking every moving toy, its a deliberate entertainment for them

I really thought you were going to say “chicken” 😂 Out for a lovely mornings big stroll, ran into a chicken. It’s going to be a great day 😅

I walk my neighbour’s cat when my neighbour is out of town… we definitely get looks and comments. Everyone sees the handsome guy in the floof tuxedo, but in his heart he knows he’s a wild beast.

Years ago I encountered a guy hiking with his cat on a leash in the mountains of Idyllwild, California. It was delightful to see that.

I've owned both a harness trained rabbit and a harness trained cat! The rabbit got a lot of attention even though she never left our neighborhood, and the cat made me climb trees with him, but both were a joy to go outside with. My current cat does fine with a harness but not with being outdoors, unfortunately

Oh, I've talked to other Cat Walkers and so it isn't just me and my cat, but the general experience is that cats don't like 'making scenes' in front of strangers, and so if you were arguing with your cat on where to go, well, if another person comes into sight then suddenly that cat is very obliging. But if you are joined by another person, well, cats can be very judgmental. Once my cat and I were joined by a young lady who was probably impressed with me because I was a bachelor who owned a cool car, and my cat HATED her. My cat would suddenly want to cross the road, and so I would say "Careful about Cars" and we would dash across. The Girl would follow. Then my cat would want to cross back. Okay. Then the girl would follow. I was beginning to laugh. The girl finally asked what WE were doing. I told her that the Cat felt that eventually "you" would take the hint and quit following us. Then the girl said something that still makes me laugh: "Who's more important? Me or that Cat?" Heck, I should have asked her what she was planning to do for me to make herself so important.

this is the best comment i've seen all day 😂

😂😂😂

I would make only one change: Cockerel: "bok"

@TheSilverInfinity I’d say it’s a tie with Lisa Alves’ interpretation of Billi’s conversation with the rooster. What a treat to find two such talented interpreters of felinese!. I suspect that these are two souls who may well have been cats in a previous life.

That needed to be captioned “mad x2”

She’s like, I don’t need a button to tell you how MAD, MAD I am!

Sometimes you have to make do with a good old-fashioned hiss to make your point.

"Mother, you let the lizard get away, you let the squirrel get away and now you're forcing me to go home without any prey! We will starve, mother! Let's at least take this chicken with us!"

Do you think your captors would allow you to post videos of this endeavor? You could try to convince them it’s for training videos for the other human/slaves.

@@stephaniemomma You're probably right! I think we live only so long as they don't have thumbs.

@@Le_Comte_de_Monte_Felin if they figure out how to use the internet we are all screwed

I feel like her almost every day....

@@insideAdirtyMind was gonna say the same thing

She was tearing the floor up! She really made the most of her workout!

She might not stop! 😹

When u getting older without bill may will life happy likes billi

I hope that mom manages to understand that Billi needs help play or else mad

👏👏👏😹

Pretty sure a chicken would put up a fight

@@reisefuxx Especially a rooster!

Chickens will definitely put up a fight. My Siamese were very ashamed.

When walking a cat, well, since the cat is the one doing the leading then isn't it the Human who is on the leash?

Yeah, I think the cats like the Human interaction. When I play with my cats, I do a lot of commentary and when they really score big on a toy I laugh. They get to feel you appreciate what they do.

A Billie and Monty Python crossover! 😹 Love it. And that really does suit her reaction.

Yeah, I think I almost killed one of my cats with medical neglect. It looked like her lips were curled and THAT should have told me she had an abscess but I was too dumb to add it up. Then she got sick and I didn't know what it was. There was blood on the floor but I have six cats and so I didn't know what happened to whom. Then Nora got better. Then one time she yawned and I noticed she lost both fangs. Yeah, her problematic teeth had fallen out, and just in time... I thought she was going to die she lost so much weight. But now she's back. She's about 15 now. She's my sweetest cat. I should take better care of her.

2 of our cats… such a weird thing for any species to develop.

@@leovolont I’ve learned when you see something off just trust your instincts. my cat had hard bumps on her tummy and I let my family override my concern when I knew they weren’t supposed to be there and they were new. yes it turned out they were tumors and she sadly passed. if something is off like weight or eating habits, anything new, we know our cats best and since they can’t speak (Billi notwithstanding) it’s up to us to get them help. glad your cat is ok.

@@fighterflight Actually, the Veterinarians I know are really in a different economic class than myself. I really can't afford medical interventions for my cats. Also, the Veterinarians are really unwilling to take on any of the risks. You could spend two thousand dollars for an operation for your cat, which they want paid in advance, and then the receptionist will tell you to come in any time after 5 to pick up your Dead Cat... no hurry. Yeah, they don't adjust their fees depending on whether or not they actually can deliver a cure. I would prefer a Model such as $2000 for a Live Cat and $500 for a Dead one. But, yeah, I simply don't trust the Doctors and can't trust myself in that kind of a situation where they tell me that "My cat's ONLY CHANCE is a risky operation". What is anybody supposed to say to that? Everybody loves their Cats, but being Homeless is a real problem too. So, yeah, all of my cats have come off the Street or I saved them from being Euthanized in the Pounds. So I already saved their lives once, right? So, yeah, I'll feed them and care for them and love them, but STAYING ALIVE has got to be on them. I got 5 cats now. I wouldn't have any if I had to worry about setting up a Health Care Fund. and it is really the case where everything is SO expensive. It is like there are two Species of Human Beings, and its just impossible for the Small Poor Breed to have any dealings with the Big Affluent Breed.

@@leovolont I am very sorry to hear that. You & your cats all deserve proper healthcare.

Yeah, Billi's language skills are amazing.

But it’s not just a matter of attention, Billi can come up with actual abstract thoughts that she can communicate. Like “Grandma, later, play”

Right?? I love that placement, makes for great videos 😻

You really have, you should find some chickens stat!

​@@BilliSpeaks TUnfortunately, the only chickens within many miles of where I live are wrapped in plastic at the grocery store.

@@cate9540 Well, some cats really like those more! And even better when the chickens take a lazy stroll through a hot oven! On Walter Santi's channel, he made his clouder at treat by 'decorating' one of his trees with non-ornamental cooked drumsticks! A good time was had by all! (Well, excepting the chickens!)

I've had quite a bit of experience traveling with cats on leashes and I'm convinced they're picking up on stuff we can't see and hear. Billie has said she can hear a dog that Kendra can't hear and it's a possible factor.

I wonder if it's association with the hallways in the vet, or something like that. Especially if there's a lot of activity behind the other doors, that cat is on edge because something might pop out at any second.

Cats exploring new territories are laboriously slow. They need to look at everything close up and smell it. That's if they want to make it their territory. You see, a Cat in it's Territory can both SEE it but also they have an Internal Map which allows them to run at break neck speed even if they are focusing on a prey getting away... they'll know when to dodge bushes or jump up on ledges. You can see it best when cats are chasing each other in your house... they have it "mapped". Be careful about moving Book Cases if they were used to jumping from one to the other during the chases... what happens could HURT. But, yeah, Mapping takes time. I had an Old Girl Calico and every once in a while she would get out the door and want to explore, BUT I would always be able to catch up to her and pick her up and bring her home when she got as far as she did the last time, where her "Map" runs out and she needs to start looking and smelling at every little thing.

@@leovolont Yeah, that's true. My cat takes its sweet time to explore anything new/different. Sometimes he'll spend an hour scouting out a cardboard delivery box on the floor. :)

I like the optimism! She had plenty of energy to turn around and do another lap the first time she refused though, so I’m pretty sure she’s just being naughty 😹

@@BilliSpeaks My old cat, Spices, used to wait at the door and make a mad dash whenever anyone opened it. I lived on a busy street at the time, and he'd go tearing off down the sidewalk. After a short while, he'd flop over and I'd have to carry him home. He thought that was the funnest game ever.

Oh, that makes me miss a cat I had decades ago. He'd walk with me, off leash because nobody back then put cats on a leash. We'd go to the neighborhood store, the park, just anywhere. And like me, he'd look both ways before crossing the street and always used the crosswalk when it was available. He was so smart. His favorite trick was pretending to not see stray dogs coming down the street. They'd get all excited thinking they were going to get to chase a cat, but when it was too late, they learned they were the ones who were getting chased. If he caught one, he'd ride it like a buckaroo breaking in a wild horse.

😹😹😹

Probably Mia the Adventure Cat?

@@alchemysaga3745 I believe so, posting a link but it may get deleted if Kendra has that channel setting on. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZt3htWFksipd58.html It’s Mia the Adventure Bengal, or something like that.

She sounds like quite the kitty! 💕

Damn! Missed pawportunity!

Omg! I love St. Augustine! It looks so quaint from my sister’s old photos(roughly 25ish years ago)! It is the oldest city in the United States! 🙏🕯🕊🐕🌸👙👑💒🎆

She’s a dream 😻

@@BilliSpeaks I am SO very glad!

Happy Billie plus happy Mom equals binge watch time!
