My daughter reported that, when they started packing to come here for the weekend, their cat went into hiding. She doesn't like riding in the car in the carrier, even though she never seems as stressed as my cats were. The cat wasn't brought to my house, but she somehow has a sixth sense about these things. Packing=carrier=bad stuff! I've seen her do it myself. When Denis begins to wrap up electronics, the cat runs in a panic to find someplace to hide. How does she know??
My sister reports that her Siberian Husky always seems to know when she is going to doggy day care, even though her parents will be home. She loves going to that place and so gets excited without warning. How does she know??
When I was a kid, we had a Cocker Spaniel that we didn't bathe nearly often enough--maybe once a year--in the bathtub. And since we were a family of bath-takers, she would have no way of knowing which bath that was being drawn was for her...but she always did! Without giving her a single clue, I would draw the water for her, then go to look for her...and she would be hiding under a bed. How did she know???
Our furry friends understand more than we comprehend!
