If somebody told you they could communicate with animals telepathically, would you think they were absolutely nuts?

In the absence of any evidence, I'd think they were either nuts or making it up, yes.

No there are somethings outside our ken that defy logic.

......but I would wonder!!!

I'd think they were subconsciously very sensitive to the body language or other communications of their pet.

Differently wired, perhaps.

i am also another requiring evidence. i think it is far more likely I would be unable to communicate telepathically with animals

Well, it would depend on the context really

But if they could I'd really want to know what the fuck animals think they are doing when they lick their arses? Is it to take the taste of the pet food away????

Well somebody I know says she can communicate with stray cats and other animals she meets.

And then I googled.
Seems it is not so uncommon.

Oh good - so you know her then. Did she just come out with it, or, did you happen to be having a conversation about the supernatural?

(I think it's horseshit quite frankly but I'm intrigued )

DH once met someone who was telepathic with horses. Once a gelded racehorse told her that he wasn't running well because he didn't feel like a proper stallion any more and wanted to be known as (IIRC - which I probably don't) Dorothy.

Dorothy then went on to win lots of races etc.

So who knows?

So, when the transvestite horse just got her gender straight, she performed?

I am intrigued.

A horse with gender issues - now I've heard everything. Neigh and thrice neigh.

UD, I have heard about cats with gender issues, though. However I fear that particular cat had more than just gender issues. The cat (male) was notorious for penetrating other male cats in the neighbour hood. Sore bottoms all round.

Ouch. 8 out of 10 cats said they didn't like it up the Gary.
