Tell me your secret to understanding the inner minds of animals.
Seriously, any pet owner will tell you animals seemingly have feelings. They do things that don't make much sense outside of them showing love, hate, annoyance, etc. It's not scientific, but why would humans be so different from animals when we all came down a similar evolutionary line? You don't see great leaps in physical trait happening, usually, it's a gradual process, so I would assume that feelings gradually developed into what humans have now.
- walterstucco 8y agoPet owners can also tell you that most of what their pets do makes absolutely no sense If my cats were human, they would both be in jail One of my cats is pure breed, has never lived outside of a house, loves eating plastic, olives and chips but shows no care for fresh meat The other one was a stray cat, she still hides food that she doesn't eat, because that's what she's been doing for the initial part of her life In a way she adapted to live in a house, but she never learned that she's not been living in the streets for the biggest part of her life So yes, they have their personalities, very different from each other They get bored, they enjoy snuggles (until they do not and scratch you for no reason), but can they process their feelings beyond reaction? I'm not really sure they do in a very complex way
