DO CATS AND DOGS UNDERSTAND OUR SPEECH?
I think they do, as my cat Gatufo usually did what I say him to do.
In this vide I try that the nice cat do what I have teached him, for months to do, he knows that doing that we laugh and clap to him.
So, since a year or more he try to give us pleasure doing some things he can once I say him something.
We could be talking about different things, but in the moment we talk about Gatufo, he replies, or get up from the chair and says different miaus.....of joy or pleasure, some times if I shout him because he is doing something I have said him NOT, he immediately goes and hides him from me, till the point it is impossible to get him out.
One of the friends in the blog ask me about this matter, and I told her a story about a dog some English friends found on the street and take him to home.
The dog seems silly as he did not do anything they commands him to do.
For months the dog did not anything peculiar and it was as impossible to educated the poor dog.
Suddenly one day they command the dog in Spanish, and the dog seems to understand.
Of course, he was a Spanish dog, founded in Alicante being his first
owners Spanish, so the dog was taught in Spanish language not in Engllish.
Since that moment the dog was smart, and obbey their commands given
in Spanish, not in English.
So yes, dog and cats do understand our language, may be few words but enough to be happy and doing the best the can for their owner.
Dear Gatufo is one of the best friend a person may have at home.

No offense, but that's only because of habit. If the dog/cat is expected to do something using a command and the command is used again and again, then the animal will eventually recognize what they have to do when they hear that command. However, they don't "understand" our language.

ResponderEliminarYes, that´s sure, the same as a baby when they didn´t speak yet, but why the cat knows we are talking about him when Cuca and me are talking about several things and sudenly we said someting of Gatufo and he reply with a miauuu, all miaus are different, in the mornings I talk with him and he replies every momento, what? I don´t really know but he does, sure, before I do something he knows I am going, reads my mind? I do think so...who knows?.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
I do think animals are different one for another and who can say they have not souls like us?.
