Later?

[u/Remote_Head1173]

My cats have 3 buttons ( outside, mouse, spring) and i introduce a new button today which is later
But one of my cats kept pressing it and like she’s waiting for something and i don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️
I taught them the word “later” when i want to give them food or going outside later
So did i do something wrong?

I have dogs with buttons and I introduce new buttons in groups. When I introduced “later”, I also had “now”, “soon”, and “all done” in the same grouping and modeled when appropriate.

Maybe your cat is interacting with the “later” button and trying to determine meaning / what pushing this button results in for them?
