pets & pet owners talk to each other?

[Randy]

Some pets and pet owners seem to talk to each other.

Do you think people and their pets can communicate?

I'm not sure if "talk" is the correct word. But I'd say many pets can use enough body language, tone, noises, etc. to be considered a type of communication. When I tell the dogs that it is supper time, they absolutely receive that information and act on it, so there is some level of communication happening.

My girlfriend likes to talk to her cockatiel. It sings to her all of the time.

Yeah, some pets can "communicate" their needs, but talking is a little stretch

I agree. Once you have a solid bond with your pet its almost like you can communicate through telepathy

There have been times when I WISH a dog or cat could talk...like when they get sick or hurt & I want to know more....
what did you eat that you shouldn't have?, how did that happen? .
The cats seem to THINK that they are talking to me sometimes.....they keep an eye on the clock & let me know when it's feeding time.
