Animals Are Smarter Than You Think Have you ever felt like your animal was trying to tell you something? If your pet is staring at you intently, then they desperately want to tell you something. They don’t understand why you can’t hear them. If they are behaving badly or are in pain or suffering from poor health, then yes, they are trying to get your attention. Animals are highly intuitive. They have to be in order to survive. When they are paying attention, they know how to read your mind. They hear your thoughts, feel your feelings, see what’s in your mind’s eye.

Read MoreAnimal Deception – Is Your Dog A Liar? I was in the grocery store parking lot some years back when I saw a guy giving puppies away out of a cardboard box.
