and i wish my iguana could talk, then i could make a deal with him about cage/ house rules and not have to lock him up most of the time.

What an idiotic thread. All animals communicate in some form or another so of course they would.

yep. they have an entirely different range of communication, just as sophisticated as speech.

nearly all mammals communicate through gestures, vocalizing, scent, etc.

I think Arcadio still holds the crown for that.

My cat had a vocabulary of about 12 main expressions. I could understand them all pretty easily just by sound alone.

* Hunger
* Really Hungry
* Quizzical
* Angry
* Really f'in angry!
* annoyed
* happy to see me
* Happy to see me and wants petting
* Surprised / WTF type expression
* WOW - CATNIP! GIMMEE!
* Scared as hell
* Anxious

And it's mostly from body language, smell, and voice inflection.

A dobbermint pincher [sic] sent that to my box as a text. His name was Floyd.

I like doublemint pinchers

My dog always tells me that the voices in my head are lying to me...

 

[FoBoT]

It isn't fair cause you're beating the shit out of him while he's on the carpet... it's a vicious cycle.

it all makes sense now. oh well time to go beat the dog.

I could already understand quite a few of my cat's meows. If he wants something, he'll pace around it and meow with the ow going up in pitch. If he wants to cuddle, it'll sound like he's rolling his tongue on the me, and then ow going up in pitch.
If he doesn't like it, he'll make his meow go down in pitch.
