"Do you think dogs are ticklish?"

The poor pooch is currently being subjected to tickles to gauge her reaction.

Ive always wondered if my husbands snoring annoys the dog as much as it annoys me 😂

But I reckon dogs do like to be tickled. But I'm bit sure if they are actually ticklish

What do animals think about when they're just sitting or standing around? Are they just processing external stimuli or do they wonder about things?

I think they’re doing both. Or like my cat just sleeping.

Unless asleep or eating, cats are either plotting world dominion or hoping for a box they can squeeze themselves into.

I wonder if my cats wonder about things. Do they sit there all day wondering where I've gone and what I'm doing? They know I leave at 7.50 and come home at 18.00, what do they think I'm doing during that time?

My dog had ticklish paws

I have a dog and two cats. I often wonder if the dog thinks, “why are those two allowed out of the front door on their own, whenever they want to-but I’m not”!
She watches us let them in and out and I do wonder what she’s thinking!

If sheep can't get off to sleep, do they count people?

Do animals like humans or do they act excited at our arrival because we will, inevitably, at some point feed them.
