Do You Think Dogs and Cats Can Sense Our Emotions?

[mehe25]

I just wonder what people think. Do you think that dogs and cats and sense our emotions?

I mean, people say your dog will happily live with someone else but I don't find that true...
My sister had a dog and I took care of it for a while. It kept pouting and all this. I finally thought I got a bond with it but it was actually laying down beside me looking all sad. The door opened and my sisters voice could be heard and its eyes opened wide and sprinted to her where it followed her downstairs into her room. I was like,"Wth..."

Also this one time I had a dog and it would always follow me around, it never truly had any master and I came to it and bonded with it everyday, the first day it was tied to me practically. I left it for months with someone else and when I came back it was still pretty much 'tied' to me. When I was sad it stood on it's two legs and did a funny walk and made me laugh. It then jumped onto my lap and looked into my eyes with its big brown eyes and I smiled and it knew I was happy now.

And apparently they are very social which shows to be absent in the rest of the animal kingdom, cats to.

Yes, animals such as that can sense emotions.
It is part of their survival instincts.

And my cat can sense KFC too.
LOL

I'd say more of a social instinct.

You don't have a dog or a cat do you?
If you did then you wouldn't be saying something so idiotic like that.

Well at least you are honest about it.
I can respect that.

Hmmm. Apparently studies show they can read our emotions...

Can animals really read our emotions? Good question. My answer is simple. I would not be surprised if they could, given the explanation. After all, animals are, in most cases, more intelligent than people may believe.
