Dogs definitely know when they’re doing something they’re not supposed to be doing. They get all sneaky and quiet, and look hella guilty if you catch them.
Yeah, just like the post described - they know good and bad. They get sneaky, quiet and guilty because they know they were bad.
I have a cat and a dog and i swear to god, my cat gives me a challenging look of pure intent when she does something that she KNOWS she is not allowed; Like jumping up the kitchen counter. We don’t want her on that. She sits in front of it, sees me coming, looks me in the eyes with a very certain look and jumps on it. When i tell her to jump down, she will do it immediately but again… a look of pure intent and naughtiness.
Absolutely! My parents have a horizontal bar slightly higher than the working surface in their kitchen. The cats are allowed on the bar, not on the surface. These fuckers lay on the bar and stretch their paws down so they are barely hovering above the surface, as if they were saying “I’m not touching it!” like a child. And that’s not a relaxed position, they have to really stretch their paws to touch it. Yet they always do it and look at you like “what are you gonna do? I’m not touching it!”

Dogs don’t know guilt.
They do know that looking at you a certain way makes you no longer mad at them.
and cats. Cats have evolved to have big eyes to beg for food, or, in this case, pity. Its like the homeless.
Are you doing the homeless evolved to have big eyes?
