Humans feel a wide range of emotions and have a lot of ways to express them. For example, when we’re angry, we shout. When we’re sad, we cry. When we want to explain something, we talk. So expressing our feelings or thoughts is very simple for us and people understand us easily. However, how do animals communicate? It’s easy for us to show how much we love our pets by taking care of them and saying “I love you” multiple times a day. But how do they reciprocate?
Our pets have their own special ways of telling us how much they love us. They have various techniques to display their sadness, anger, love, and joy. Even though it’s not very easy for us to understand them, they can be very clear sometimes with their actions. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, scroll down below to see 16 pets that are really good at showing their feelings for their humans:
1. “I went away for 3 weeks, and now my cat is in love with my husband.”
2. “We accidentally fed him twice this morning… This was his face when we figured it out.”
3. “Someone was screaming outside our apartment, Ben was very concerned.”
4. “This was the moment we told her she was going on a diet…”
5. “My cats don’t like that I go to work so early in the morning now, so they apparently staged an intervention.”
6. “My anxious dog after making her first doggy friend”
7. “My cat is obsessed with sinks and water. Sometimes I’ll leave a little stream going while I’m cooking, so she’s entertained. This was her a few minutes after I turned it off.”
8. “The pose our Shepadoodle Maggie gives us whenever she‘s guilty or wants something”
Animals can be funny at times but they’re really smart as well. Even though their ways of expressing themselves might be weird, they make sure their message is delivered loud and clear. We underestimate our pets a lot. They are just as capable of showing their feelings as us humans.
9. “Our office cat does not like to be ignored.”
10. “Nugget, when he realized he was going to the vet”
11. “My cat’s subtle way of claiming me in front of our new pup”
12. “When it’s thundering, my dog won’t let me close the bathroom door.”
13. “Mia’s face when I dare to stop giving her belly scratches”
14. “Chase had a moment of realization that both his mom and dad have to go back to work tomorrow after the long holiday weekend.”
15. “He’s over one year old, but Andy still thinks he’s a baby.”
16. “My girlfriend sent me this while I was at work. And here I was thinking the perfect picture of our dog didn’t exist.”
