Cat In Oregon Says “No” To Owner And The Internet Can’t Stop Laughing

If you’re a cat parent, you already know that those tiny paws come with a surprising amount of attitude.

One minute they’re sweet, cuddly little fluffballs. The next, they’re acting like they own every inch of the house. And honestly… they kind of do.

Let me share a moment that had me laughing way too hard. It’s the perfect reminder of why cats are equal parts adorable and wildly stubborn.

The star of the show is a clever cat named Digit. And right from the start, it’s obvious she has zero interest in following instructions.

Her human calmly asks her to lie down, a simple command, or so it seems. Digit, however, had her own plan in mind.

Instead of obeying, this bold little cat looks right at her, lifts a paw, and deliberately taps a button on the floor that says “No!”

Yes, no. The timing is perfect. The attitude is unmistakable. And you can practically hear the collective laughter of cat owners everywhere who know this exact kind of sass all too well.

But Digit doesn’t stop there. When his mom, slightly amused and clearly in disbelief, asks: 

“Did you just say no?” Digit doubles down hitting another button that proudly declares “Yes!”

It’s like he’s saying, “Yes, I said no, and what are you going to do about it?”

Meanwhile, there’s a dog in the background watching the entire exchange, almost like it’s thinking, Oh no, he’s really doing it. 

You can practically see the dog’s inner monologue, part disbelief, part admiration for its feline sibling’s fearless attitude.

The whole thing is such a perfect glimpse into why life with pets is never boring. They’ve each got their own personalities, quirks, and hilarious ways of expressing themselves. 

Some show affection by curling up next to you, and others, like Digit, prefer to assert dominance with a well-timed “no.”

And honestly? You can’t even be mad. That mix of stubbornness and intelligence is exactly what makes cats so irresistible.

If you’re wondering how Digit became such a pro at communicating with buttons, there’s a follow-up video that shows how his owner trained him:

Replying to @liv_gruss this is a video on how we got started! I’ll make a second video on how I introduce new buttons. Note: I am not a trainer and this is just the method I used that works for Digit.

If you’ve ever thought about teaching your cat to talk using buttons, you might just find some great tips there.

Just be warned, once your cat learns how to say “no,” there’s no going back. You might find yourself negotiating dinner times, play sessions, and bedtime routines with the most stubborn roommate you’ve ever had. But really, that’s half the fun of being a cat parent, isn’t it?

To say I was caught off guard is an understatement. I JUST introduced yes and no yesterday. How did he pick up on it so fast? 🤣 #catbuttons #bunnybuttons #talkbuttons #funnycat
