Default Can animals communicate???
I have just watched the teletext advert with the 2 cats making cat noises to eachother and it made me wonder if they can actually communicate in meows. If so then how *****ing cute!!!
I know they arent actually saying the words below them but still.
ALSO i remember seeing this simalar thing on youtube where there are these 2 cats meowing to each other. awww I will try and find it....

Yes they can. Not in the same way humans cos, cos we're one of the only species with proven Theory of Mind and also our communication is very arbitrary. Animal communication is mainly for the purposes of survival, letting the other know about food, danger and potential mates etc.

When my cat gave birth (she only had one kitten), her and her "son" would mew to each other constantly. Was adorable. They still do.

yep that's it!. They sound like they are reassuring each other. It's communication I guess but it's not like a complex language...( which is what I thought your thread was about)

lol yes, but I'm an emotional trainwreck!! hahaha. I always think it's so cute and im like "awww" then I feel myself going to cry. It's just so sweet.

But I've learned all about animal language in my Psychology degree, so when I actually think about it's not even that sweet LOL

I think they do but I think they read body language and sniff etc rather than talking
