Mortality In Animals

[breadstick]

Are Dogs or Cats aware of their own mortality or are they always just in the moment?

[Theland]

We had four cats, two were sisters Millie and Meg, and when Millie died, Meg sat in a corner, and wouldn't eat for days.
She is great now, a new Siamese to play with.

Pete the Vet is a Vet in Bray, Dublin (but is Scottish) does a lot of media work. He said once that Humans would be arrogant to assume that other animals don't have the same emotions as we do. https://www.petethevet.com

It is often said that Cats only stay with us because we feed them. Whilst that is basically true if you were to study Human relationships you will find that we do very similar things, for the same reasons and we , probably, do so subconsciously.

Possibly so.

Readers of "The Silent Miaow" by Paul Gallico may disagree.

(I'm talking about cats, not humans.)

My dogs stay with me to use my pendules as a trampoline...

Do cats read?

[Theland]

One of my Ragdolls jumps on the bed and butts my bible while I am trying to read it.
A religious cat maybe?

Try reading this Theland - it is a real book.

shoota - they even write books, Felix from Huddersfield has two books out and there are many who have Facebook pages.
