RE: Dogs Can Understand Both Words And Intonation of Human Speech - New Research Finds [NEWS IN SCIENCE]
When I was growing up, we had a poodle that had to be brushed with a wire brush occasionally, which she really didn't like. It got to the point that if someone said "brush" in a sentence, she would hunch down low to the floor and slink away to hide under a bed...
Regarding the cats versus dogs issue, I always noticed that our dogs were more responsive to words than our cats (except for their names and food), but it's always possible the cats just didn't give a damn...
Haha very adorable and smart dog :-)
You may be right about cats. They probably just don't care and ignore us unless they have some incentive for responding :-) That's probably why they seem to solely react to words directly related to food or themselves.
Oh and thanks so much for upvote! I (-:
I just realized and was completely WOW-ed :D
I think it is cats mostly don't give a damn. My two will sometimes respond to what I say to them and other times will just look at me like, so what. The one exception is my tom cat who, from the time he was a kitten, would decide to start nipping at me. I would respond with a very firm "Don't bite mom", he would then switch to licking me. He's 8 years old and that is still the routine. And yes, they do love their routine.
Yeah, cats just don't care :-)
