Are animals smarter than us? (49)
I'm ashamed to say this
but
if something bad happens to an animal I get much sadder than if something bad happens to a human being

In response to: Are animals smarter than us? or just more commitment-able or ???
i was thinkin about this place and the people and my pets over the years
yeah dont ask me how i made that segue cuz i really dont know
i had these 2 cats once- had em for years. (my cats go outside to potty but come in to hang out and rest and eat. otherwise they are always out.)
in the house they seemed to hate each other- all through the years it never relaxed much. if they were passin thru a door at the same time or one jumped on the counter to eat and didnt realize the other one was already up there there would be a tussle. only for a brief second but they might even really slap the others face.when they slept it was at opposite ends of the house.
their relationship seemed to be routine for them- they never grew into anything more tolerant nor more or less aggressive between them.
they went on this way for years. i quit interfering and let them be animals having their own relationship that was none of my business.
meanwhile i would spot them outside clearly hanging out together and possibly even stalking together
but we dont do that- stay out of animal relationships or even have boundaries and stay- is it commitment or tolerance or what?
and why dont we have it?

Humans dont have four legs, that's why.

Yes those critters are smart.Where else would you get a human being to feed you,keep you warm,sort out your health problems all for free. Well just the occasional lick or rub round the leg in return,or if you are really good maybe they sit on your lap.

Superdog! you just tell the vets his fan club will hound them forever if there's a single hair not where it belongs after the surgery.

ach
that is worrisome but if the vet is confident follow their lead- most are really dandy and seasoned and i trust them when i trust them. if i dont i find a different vet.
sorry bodle i know you are worried
but still no one has seen this type of steady seemingly hateful behavior between pet 'siblings' and just let it ride?
i wanted to fix it and thot it would fix but it never did and still it was okay. strangest thing.

I think that in the context of their own world vs. our world, (paws vs. opposing thumbs), they are just as intelligent on their level to deal with their world as we are to deal with ours.

I dont think they are "more" intelligent...I think its different intelligence combined with an awareness that we dont have with our weaker senses.

I saw many women who abandon their children but an animal never does this-the moral u understand it all better.
