  1. It’s crazy that after centuries of living with animals as closely as we do horses, dogs, cats etc, we still question how much they think & understand. Of course they can read our expressions. Just as people who have spent a lot of time with horses can read theirs. What will be cool is when we design talking horse buttons like Bunny the Talking Dog has to communicate in our language. Then we’ll really get an insight into what they think. When you see Bunny put together complex sentences & use words to describe things she hasn’t been taught, you’ll understand how limited our understanding is of our animal friends.

  2. It’s not that cats don’t have the same understanding, it’s that they are less eager to play our games!

  3.  @ina7084  Ah yes. Humans are very good at denying animal intelligence by designing human created experiments that test human intelligence & applying it to animals, then refuting any evidence they do encounter as not meeting a rigorous enough scientific method. Surely though, over a year of continually recorded evidence, showing not only an improvement in the volume of words used, but complexity of sentence structure & concepts used has some validity? There are, after all, levels of scientific evidence. And to say it’s not replicated is incorrect since there are multiple animals who are using the system now. Funny how those humans who emphatically deny animal intelligence tend to not want to prove animal intelligence & sentience, because that would open a whole can of sentient worms regarding how we treat them & animal rights 🤔
