I like when my cat can do a gesture saying "follow me" and then when I follow, he will lead me somewhere and then point with a paw what he wants e.g. a particular treat or when something makes him happy, he will jump and meow in certain way that you can feel it means joy. He also learnt how to say "no". If he doesn't want something he will meow "neeoow", in an eerily human way.
- masswerk 6y agoI experienced this as well: cats definitely trying to speak, esp. "No", but, of course, they can't. Edit: Also, most animals don't point at things. If they are doing so, they are doing this especially for us.
- nefitty 6y agoMy little dog recently started learning new ways of communicating with us. She does the standard pawing at the door of a room she wants to enter. She then began pawing at her food bowl when she wants food. It now seems like she has started experimenting by pawing at other random objects, then watching for a reaction to see what we do. When we forget to take her down from the bed (she’s scared to jump off), she’ll do a distinct little gruff bark as if to say, “Hey! Come get me!” She now uses a similar bark to tell us when she wants us to remove her little sweaters hahaha
