I imagine my pets are always saying "Feed me, Woman!!" and then after "you may pet me now."I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions on whether animals have emotions. I spent a long time studying animals, turning several types of wild animals into pets, and learned that each species I've encountered have different noises or behaviors to express rudimentary emotions: affection, happiness, fear, warning, the desire to mate. I adopted a dog last year that turned out to be deaf and I can tell by what he's looking at or touches his nose to what he wants, then he looks at me and he can tell by the expression on my face whether I'm in favor of giving him what he wants or not. It's kind of cool. IP: Logged |

Oh definitely, I had 4 baby pet squirrels for a little over a week when I was little lol. When we found them they were living in my garage and when I told my dad he grabbed them and put them in a box. We fed them everyday with rice and milk and they recognized us! When we went out to play, they would as well (all 6 of us were running around in the backyard LOL). On one of the last days before my dad released them to a park, my older brother accidentally killed one of the squirrels, and the remaining 3 no longer wanted to play. Honestly, they were mourning.  ------------------

i'd be curious to know what my rats are saying. one is probably saying all the time "pet me pet me pet me pet me... yummy stuff yummy stuff yummy stuff... play play play play... is that food?" the other one is saying "leave me leave me leave me leave me... give me that food but don't touch me. but play with me play play play... ok now you can pet me. give me that food"  rats are pretty intelligent still. they are so communicative.

Rats can learn complex maze patterns rather quickly. They are the puzzle solvers of the animal kingdom, along with squirrels (who are nothing more than rodents with fluffy tails) who will always find a way to get into bird feeders.IP: Logged |

have you seen Sugar Bush? ok, to be honest it's slightly cruel to dress up and pose the poor guy (gal?), but too cute to argue... it may as well mean that it doesn't really mind, because it does pose and stay still for it.IP: Logged |

i'm thinking, if the use of hands was crucial to the evolution, rodents would be the second in the hierarchy after the apes, no?IP: Logged |

My dog looks at me as if to say "You are the light of my life. My world revolves around you. I don't know what I'd do without you. Please don't ever leave me."She likes to "clean"/groom me as if i'm her puppy, too. I truly think she believes i'm her puppy sometimes. Most awesome dog ever.

she would tell me what kind of food she does like and what she doesnt cuz she is royally spoiled------------------
I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate? when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history IP: Logged |
