Pet Communication: Talking Buttons


Above archived video: Cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy opines about talking buttons for cats.

Recently, I had watched a video on YouTube, different from the one above, about someone who has lots of pet communication buttons for their cat to communicate with them.

While I suppose these devices might work for some humans who have dogs and cats, I can't imagine spending lots of money on talking buttons so my cat Cleopatra (Cleo) can attempt to talk with me using certain human words and phrases.

Although I might not always know or understand what Cleo is vocalizing about and wants, Cleo has her own way of letting me know something and she can be very vocal at times. This means of communication between her and I works just fine for us and is quite meaningful. No talking buttons required. Thus, I agree fully with Jackson Galaxy on the subject.

$$$?

Last edited and updated, including with the latest available related information, news and reports, on Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 5:00 AM (EDT):  Note : Per the temporary regional homeless shelters daily update (sent out on Friday, 3/22/2024): "All shelter are now closed". Regarding the plan by Governor Phil Scott's administration to host four huge regional, supposedly short-term, congregate homeless shelters across the state,  a question has arisen within my mind about it (rhetorically posed; and, please excuse my bluntness as well as outrage, however), ... Is anyone -- other than myself -- asking how much $$$ this, for the lack of a better or more appropriate term, * pure baloney * er, absurd plan will cost and where all the funds will come from ❓❗ If not, I sure wish someone would ask and try to get an honest answer from whomever can best provide it, sooner rather than later.

7Days: "Montpelier Seeks Proposals for Its Once-Problematic Parklet"

Image
  According to a recent Seven Days article, here , the City of Montpelier is currently seeking to have the lot, which formerly hosted the Guertin Parklet structure (before the city had it removed in early May of 2022), developed; ironically, potentially, for housing: The Montpelier City Council is seeking developers’ proposals for a half-acre downtown lot that drew locals' complaints and repeated visits from police in recent years after its gazebo became a gathering place for people experiencing homelessness. [...] “It’s one of the pieces of the housing puzzle that the city can help with,” said Josh Jerome, Montpelier’s community and economic development specialist. The gazebo that previously occupied the city-owned lot had become a shelter of sorts, and bad behavior there promoted complaints to the city and calls for emergency services. People who lived in apartments next door reported finding syringes and   sleeping strangers in their halls and stairways; merchants said they wor
