Todd adopted us (yes, really, if anyone wants to hear that story let me know) from a wonderful no-kill shelter called the League for Animal Welfare and was about 3 months old when he came home with us. I was told he came from another shelter that called the League because they had cats whose time was almost up and who were about to be euthanized. Todd was part of the group the league rescued from that shelter. The league didn\u2019t have any more information on Todd.<\/span><\/p>                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div><!-- .accordion-content -->\n        <\/li>\n            <li>\n            <div class=\"accordion-title tf_rel\">\n                <a href=\"#acc-rjix922-1\" class=\"tb_title_accordion\" aria-controls=\"acc-rjix922-1-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n                    <i class=\"accordion-icon\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-right\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-right\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-right\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <i class=\"accordion-active-icon tf_hide\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\" xlink:href=\"#tf-ti-angle-double-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/i>                    <span class=\"accordion-title-wrap\">Todds' Soundboard<\/span>                <\/a>\n            <\/div><!-- .accordion-title -->\n            <div id=\"acc-rjix922-1-content\" data-id=\"acc-rjix922-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"accordion-content tf_hide tf_clearfix\">\n                                    <div class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n                        <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have set Todd&#8217;s soundboard up with a set structure, the color placement is arbitrary.

As I was setting up his soundboard and adding his first set of buttons (Todd, Play, and Bird Toy) Todd came over to watch me and see what I was doing.\u00a0 I installed the Bird Toy button, his favorite toy, and pressed it.\u00a0 When it said Bird Toy his eyes lit up and got very excited.\u00a0 So I did it again and he reached over and touched the button.\u00a0 This got me very excited and I praised him for touching it, then I did it hard enough to make it speak and grabbed the toy, and started playing.\u00a0 At that point, he knew what they were for. When he was done playing I went to my computer so I could download the footage of him touching his first button.\u00a0 While I was doing that he went back and did it hard enough to make it talk.\u00a0 I was super excited and played with him for just a minute then went downstairs to tell my wife.\u00a0 While I was down there he went back and started hammering the button \u201cBird Toy Bird Toy Bird Toy\u2026\u201d\u00a0 The time from installation to the first button push was about 10 minutes (this is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NOT<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> typical.\u00a0 After that, until recently he understood most buttons as soon as I add them since most were words he knew.
