Thread: "Humanizing" Our Pets

My cat thinks you don't just know her, LOL

Seriously I think it all depends on the depth of the relationship you have with your pet and how sensitive you are. Some people might have more skill to understand their buddies' minds than others.
Pets (also bigger ones like horses for example) show a lot of behavior that talks a clear language. You can learn faster from the bigger ones, cause it means pain when you don't.

Cats are sometimes very good at judging people.
My (long gone) male was the declared chief staff manager. He was always right.

Olivia,
I think that you have hit the nail on the head, the closer you live with your stock, the better you all understand each other. When I am away the horses don't miss me, so long as someone feeds them, but the Ridgeback dog does miss me, and is over the top when I get back from my two week stint at work. I think pets are ver observant and soon work out what of their behaviours will get them the response they are after.

Cheers
