When we tell our husky simmie are you hungry he comes running same with do you want to go outside
🥰
The cat understands a half dozen words -- and even says "out" when he wants to go outdoors, which he prefers to the litter box. I am now pro-cat, doting on the little fur ball and buying absurdly expensive premium cat food and treats. The cat even watches TV, with a preference for action and nature documentaries.
Are you sure the cat isn’t the famous Milo of Facebook fame?😉
Different coloration, but I recognize similarities in their behavior.
Aww. A nice story, cat saved ❤️
Bkmk
Contrary to what I expected, our rescue cat is sweet-tempered and people-oriented. I am a cat person now.
Ya, just keep feeding them treats, the more delicious...the better. All dogs are geniuses when it comes to food. My dogs will do my taxes and investment strategy for treats...
There is a wide variability in the intelligence of dogs. I know of dogs that clearly had vocabularies of at least a couple of dozen words, including adjectives. I know of others that knew only their name...probably.
Loving this thread. Thank all of you.
Not sure about any tiktok fads but having raised dogs just about my whole life we understand their language and they understand ours better than some skeptical biologist knows.
As a biologist by inclination and education—and having serially-owned eight Dachshunds I agree with you.
I trained my dogs to stop barking.
They’d be sunning behind a screen door when people would pass by. Of course, all three would suddenly start barking loudly.
I’d launch a magazine in the air behind the three of them. Before it hit the floor, I’d yell, “QUIET!”. Startled, they’d instantly stop barking. That is, except for one male who continued to gaze intently at the intruders, and would utter, “Mumpht”.
(Getting the last “word”). ;)
ball, outside, dinner, food, doggy park, play etc and they know their names.
BTW, corvids (crows, jays, magpies) are thought to be as intelligent as a 5-7 year old human. And that doesn't even address the issue of maturity (and I raise the issue of maturity to say that I think my own intelligence declined dramatically when my male hormones kicked in during my high school years).
Oh no doubt they understand tone and expressions. They are absolute masters at reading body language. Somehow my 7 year old Lab knows the exact nanosecond I’ve decided to take him outside. He knows it before I even move a muscle. The same is true for getting his dinner or otherwise getting him something he wants. Obviously I must be giving off some kind of sign even if I don’t know exactly what it is. He sure knows.
Bunny has an IQ that is higher than Walz’s and Kamala put together..
Why does Walz keep sticking his foot in his mouth? Bunny doesn’t do that !
Why does Kamala Bark laugh continuously..Bunny doesn’t do that!
BUNNY FOR PREZ !
All we need is the MSM on Bunny’s side.
Dogs can be pretty bright if they work for you.
My dog would salivate if I spoke one of these words:
“icecream.” ( a special treat)
“beer” ( he loved a cup of beer after hunting game when it was wet and cold.) He would lap it up and immediately hit the sack for a long sleep.
He also developed a distatse for men in uniform becaus of the mailman. He thought anyone in a uniform was the mailman....led to a few situations with border officers when crossing into Canada ......He would go all rowsey bowsey.
