its bin documented that non-human animals hav ways of communicating with
eachother.  even chickens hav actual words, (I guess, scientists call them
“calls”), for all the different preditors.  so, in affect, a chicken can
say, “IN COMING!”

dogs hav dun a much better job of learning OUR language than we have,
theirs!  & actually, I 4got the “words” I learned!  they hav “grammer” I
guess!  they never use certain words next to others…  I only know the “let’s
play” posture.  & I guess every1 knows wat exposing yor belly means…  but I
don’t remember the doggie sounds.

for CATS, “meow” is also a word, with meaning.  suposedly it means, “I wanna
b yor friend, but don’t hurt me.”  “MEE,” of course, means, “I wanna b
friends.”  & “ow” naturally means, “but u won’t hurt me, will u?  cause if u
do, I’m letting u no that I’ll defend myself.”

we probly recognize som language of higher animals, unconsciously.  we all
no wat a growl or a hiss means.  we no wen a dog is saying “”why u
bleerer-bleepin’ no good so & so!”  We use the exact same inflection wen
we’re getting’ ready to take a bite outta somebody’s GOOGLE-GOGGLE!  & 4 us,
a sound like “ow,” is also associated with getting hurt!  (“mee” is a more
friendly sound.)
weev long considered other anamals2 b, I guess, 1 step above…….  car parts?
:)

BIRDS can think & reason.  they can even speak 2 us in ENGLISH, & understand
wat they’re saying.  they no their COLORS, SHAPES, & TEXTURSE, they can
COUNT & use “complex” logic wen MAKING TOOLS.

& of course, chimpanzees can b taught human sign language.

hav u guys herd of COCOA the golilla?  wen cocoa’s pet cat died, she cried
all night.  wen a stranger did something that upset her, she went & hid
behind a curtain…..  wen her “teacher” asked wat was wrong, cocoa signed, “I
wanted to bite him.”  but cocoa didn’t bite anyone.  do these “people” sound
like
“car parts” to u?  :)

even I, am still amazed wen I see a pussycat open the bathroom door, (by
jumping up & turning the knob,” & goin in & turning on the water & taking a
drink!  I can’t help it!  om just a STOOPID human!  :)
