Author Topic: Hear what your Cat is saying! Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 07-23-2003 03:03 PM                        Thanks guys for your very kind remarks regarding the loss of my good friend Blaze. Now that he is gone, Toby and Simba (Brothers) have become overly affectionate. Smokey, a pure silver gray kitty has also become more loving. Do you suppose they sense the grief we are experiencing over the death of Blaze and they in turn are telling my sister and I that we are still here to ease your pain over the loss of our 'brother' who has gone on to eternal rest? -Claude  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-23-2003 04:53 PM                       Oh, yes. Animals grieve, too. They sense more than a lot of people might give them credit for. (For example, when cats bring "fresh kills" to you or place them at the door... they're saying, "Thank you for feeding me, now I am going to feed you, too.") We have two Guinea Pigs. The older one, Romeo, is very laid back. Despite the natural instinct to run and hide at sudden movements, like hands suddenly appearing in their pen, or a touch on their backs, Romeo only twitches a bit, resists the impulse to scurry away, and seems to enjoy the attention. The young one, Smudge, however, is easily spooked. When you try to pick him up, to remove him for cage cleaning or whatever, he starts squealing in fright. This visibly upsets Romeo, and he quickly comes over to investigate. He seems to try and allay Smudge's fears by nudging him with his nose and cooing. Conversely, if Romeo is removed from the cage for any period of time without him, Smudge gets very nervous (moreso than usual) and panics. Those animals are sure fun to watch, they both have distinctive personalities, too. You should see the displays of jealousy (...hey, those are MY humans!) They do have feelings, I'm certain.  |  IP: Logged John Spooner Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: South Australia, Australia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 07-25-2003 02:00 PM                     Dear Tim and Claude. As you correctly observe, animals are quite intelligent. Would be interesting to know what LADY is thinking in this picture of her taken last Tuesday after her luxating patella op.  |  IP: Logged
