can animals talk

[Ausman]

OK me and my brother where just talking about how cool it would be if animals tried to talk to you. My cat just meowed at the door to leave and 5 mins later came back. This pissed me off at first but we got to thinking, what if her meowing was saying "hey guys i gotta take a piss" and we just cant understand. any ideas

[Hektik]

lol

There has been research that animals do communicate to u in there own way..research shows,,dolphins,primates....can communicate with humans,,,

Domestic cats and dogs too have a way of communicating to you....watch and learn their habits...

I have had the experience of my dog(GIGI) barking at me for a fire that broke out in my house a awhile back...she kept barking at me while i was working ..it didnt sound like the usual bark..so i followed her out to the living room and sure enough there was candle with plastic wrapped around it that had caught on fire......i owe her......

[gothicblood]

my dog says hello to my dad when he gets back from work.

[Az.]

my cats have the most irregular personalities its impossible to know what they want.....maybe i cant read their mind well enough?

[DonnieDarko]

I've heard that parrots can talk :D

[Cheery Cherry]

My cats were like that. I had a cat named Nicoma; she was a fat cat. In the middle of the night, when I'd be sleeping, she would pounce on my chest, which made me feel like I was having a heart attack (whatever that feels like...*shrugs*), and then Nicoma would meow in my ear and walk out of the bedroom, all the while, looking back to see if I was coming too. If I wasn't, she'd pounce on me again. All that so she can go outside to take a piss.

I used to wish why we couldn't train our cats to use the toilet like everyone else. :p

[vicstar]

my cat wen she wants to go in from bein outside and we r both outside she come sova to me and makes sure i follow her to the door and shit and let her in

and they meow wen they wanna go out at the door so they r trying to talk to ya aint they LOL say "let me out "let me out" let me out" LOL wtf

[mynameismike0]

yea mine and ausman's cat will sit there meowing like mad at the door. so we let her out and close the door behind her. and she's right back like 5 minutes later meowing again to be let back in. it pisses my parents off to no end. they don't understand that she's just meowing trying to communicate with us.

[koshea]

i dunno, im more curious as to if they talk to eachother

[Lulu]

My parrot will tell the dogs to sit, and they do :D
she flings food, they know this and they'll wait patiently for it
not that she necessarily flings it for them, they're just bigtime messy eaters :p

I have 3 different species, all have some degree of speech and interact
with each other using words, murmerings, screams and mutual preening.
I only have a strong bond with one, but she can pick up on my humour
in an instant and will react accordingly. If I'm stressed she's been known
to attack my husband, he has scars on his head to prove it. But if she thinks
I'm being threatened, she'll bite me - not in a spiteful way, but a quick nip
that's her telling me to flee like she would a mate in the wild. She learns new
words all the time, jingles off the radio she picks up really quickly - we had
months of bada ba ba baaaaa I'm lovin it - that kinda stuff gets old real quick ~lol~

Dogs I've always had, two permanent residents and the fosters that come
and go. They tell you what they want so easily I can't understand how some
are so misjudged. In the fostering I've seen some of the cruellest things and
it never ceases to amaze me.

Anyway, animals - love them :)

also our cats have a distinctive meow for when they run out of food. They meow till you pour more food into there bowl.

bitch bitch is all cheeto does when his dish is getting empty. He's saying and my girl and I figured it out "feed me fuckers".

same. with fish too. I wonder if fish communicate with each other. All animals in like some supersonic way that only they hear and shit. Im stoned :eek:

[daZenfmeister]

i think they do its just more of in pitch like when we say some like GREAT! you can say it sarcasticly and you can say it in a depressed way and an excited way etc so i think thats how animals understand for example:

if you call you dog loudly HERE BOY! GOOD DOG C'MERE!!!! He'll come bounding to you but if your talking loudly in an angry manner NO!! BAD DOG!!! he'll slink awawy.


im sowwy if that made no sense but im too stoned to think it matters.

[Ausman]

also in sylabils (however you spell it) like Che-toe you could call him stu-pid and he would probaly resond i know my dog does.

Thats Cool Lulu...:D

When I was a Kid My folks had a sulpher crested cockatoo he was really well trained and only had a pearch no cage.
he didnt even have his wings Clipped and we'd let him out to play in the back yard all day.
he used to hide around one corner of the house and start calling out.
"here kitty kitty Heeere kitty kitty"
the cat would come around the corner thinking it was getting food and the cocky would attack the cat Hard core...

The thing even had me confused as a kid He would hear my mum calling out my name in the neighbourhood to come home.
and the Bastard cocky would mimic her
so id come home thinking it was mum and it was the bloody bird..

he also thought he was a person so yeah they can talk if you get the right animal.....:D

[rastabill89]

their was a dog on "ripleys belive it or not" that could say "hello"

[ermitonto]

Animals can communicate to each other to some degree in that they have different gestures and sounds which communicate specific ideas ("predators are coming", "I want some sex", and the like) but they don't appear to have language in the same way humans do, where we can communicate not only about basic things about the current situation, we can talk about the past or the future or abstract ideas, or pretty much any thought we can conceive. There has been some reported success teaching primates to use sign language but a lot of scientists remain skeptical about whether they're really understanding the meaning behind the signs they're using.

can animals talk? well, humans are a sophisticated type of animal aaand we talk.

[w4terb0ng]

my mom had a cat once that would sit on the kitchen table in the middle of the night and meow for hours. but when she meowed....it sounded like she was saying 'mommy'. i hated that evil bastard. we left the house once, and put our birds (in their cages) in my moms room and shut the door. when we got home later that day....THIS IS NO BULLSHIT... the bedroom door was open, the cages knocked over...and only one bird was still alive, sitting on top of the mirror on the dresser. the cat was sitting in the floor with a big fat gut, and feathers were EVERYWHERE. she was satan's cat.

[Rarrr]

There are certain levels of communication in our world. We as humans have a very advanced form of communication. Animals like dolphins and chimps (previously said) have a fairly advanced form of communication (of course not matching humans) and other animals have a less advanced way of communicating. I think it has to do with the way animals have evolved to communicate with each other.

[w4terb0ng]

i think they're all an evil race of aliens, plotting to take over the world.
