I’ve seen some BilliSpeaks videos that absolutely convince me cats have more language capabilities than previously thought.

When you say “convincing” what are you looking for? Do you think these youtubers are just using editing tricks and traps to convince a gullible internet? Genuinely curious.

I assume they need convincing in the way it proves pets can communicate complex language or it is just the owner interpreting whatever they want

> pets can communicate complex language

Who was even trying to push this narrative in the first place?

the first comment: "complex constructions and grammar"

Cats don't talk in complex ways to owners. Listen to what a male cat vocalizing while trying to woo a female cat. They have something to say and a means to say it. They don't need that kind of communication for reminding the food dispenser what time it is.

That's exactly my thought, it is no different than teaching my dog a trick for treats
