Understanding what pets say
Pets seem surprisingly intelligent. Mine seems to have learned the
meaning of certain words and/or phrases. Like when I say "Ready to eat?", my normally quiet kitty (Russian Blue) will become very vocal. What words or commands does your pet understand? And if were supposed to be smarter than they are, why do they understand some of our language(s), but we don't understand dog/cat speak? -- "Hilary Duff is the covergirl for an international youth industry" -- Unknown View the countdown for when Hilary Duff turns 18 (I know you're waiting for it): http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/...&month=09&year =2005&hour=00&m The next T-shirt slogan (seriously): "Is it chicken or is it tuna?" |

Actually, there are books that explain which sounds mean what for cats. (I don't know about dogs.) For instance, the different parts of MEEOWW mean different things. If your cat says just the MEE part of it in a staccato utterance, it means Come Here. Usually the cat will accompany the sound with looking back periodically to see if you're following. You can use the same sound to call your cat: MEE. Of course, the cat doesn't have to care if you're calling, but mine at least prick their ears and look to see where I am. |
