Many people are familiar with dogs understanding and feeling human's emotion. There are so many stories about how dogs mourn over their gone owner or companion. The famous one that most of us would know will be Hachiko - The faithful dog that waits at the train station for it's owner returns till its' death. Reading and watching such stories really touches our heart, knowing that animals too, have emotions and can somehow understand how their owner feels at times.
So does cats react the same way as dogs? Do they understand and feel us as much as how dogs would? There are scientific studies showing that cats understand emotions and also react to them as accordingly. When the owner feels sick or sad, we release some chemical into the atmosphere and our cats will be able to pick them up and response as accordingly. There are times that I was feeling down or sad, crying in the room, and my cats will come up to me, lick me, stay by my side till i'm feeling better. It's amazing how they react to our emotions. They will always snuggle up to me when they realizes that I am not feeling good. It's really unconditional love that our animals are giving us. So how does your pet react when they realize that you are feeling down or sick? Isn't it wonderful knowing that our friends for life will always be there when we need them?
Have a great friday! Weekend is coming :)
