51 Stories Of Pets Acting So Human Owners Could Hardly Believe Their Intelligence

My dog faked a limp to avoid going out in the rain. Ten minutes later, he heard the cheese wrapper open in the kitchen and experienced a miraculous recovery.Bro committed to full medical fraud just to stay on the couch.

I was sick with a fever, and couldn't stop shivering in bed. Woke up hours later and our dog was sleeping across my feet. He's never slept on my feet! I truely think he knew laying on my feet would break the fever.

I was napping in the bedroom with my dog. She suddenly got up and ran to the living room, hopped onto the sofa and farted next to my husband’s head. Smiled at him and went back into the bedroom.

She also tends to know when we are cooking for her vs when we are cooking for ourselves. It was her birthday and we were cooking up a steak and she was sooo excited even though we didn’t specify it was for her.

Many years ago, we kept my sister’s cat while they got settled with a tiny baby into a new home.

He didn’t like any of us *at all*. Until he got hurt and it turned into an abscess. He had to be confined for over 3 weeks. We all felt sorry for him, and we each would go visit him at least twice a day just to try to alleviate his boredom.

When he was finally released from his restrictive environment, he was absolutely affectionate with all of us. 

Later, he got downright possessive of our youngest son. Kitty would get cranky and really fuss at Ys if he didn’t get in bed by 10:30-11 pm. Ys would go take a break and read for awhile till Kitty was well settled, then Ys could finish his day as usual at 1 am if he chose. Heaven help us if Ys wasn’t available for evening cuddles. Another male would do but only with grudges from Kitty!

After living with us for a year or two, Kitty rejoined my sister’s family was affectionate to them as he’d always been. He lived a very long and happy life!

My dog is pretty dumb most of the time, but he used to pretend he needed to go out for toilet, then when I got up to let him out he would run back and steal my spot in the bed.

I was disassembling a pistol magazine of a design that was new to me and the spring shot out of the bottom and launched the base plate across a cluttered room. I got up to look for it and my orange cat was tapping one specific spot in the room with his paw and saying, “Mere, mere.” When I looked at the spot I saw the piece under his paw. It’s like he was saying here here.

I kept my kid bro's dog for a couple of years. He could tell by my body language, snaps whistles, and slaps on the deck rail what I meant. Hang motions on staying back begging or whether he could come up. He only did that stuff with me. The night he started to pass (I didn't know that yet as he had been fine) he woke me up, usually meant he wanted to go outside and bark at the animals at dawn. He didn't want to go outside that morning. He had entered my room twice, shortly after his running buddy had passed. I checked him and he was breathing fine but a lil whiny. Texted and called my brother. This dog liked me but had only put his head on my lap one time in the years that I knew it. I told him go back to my room and lay down and I'll get him his blanket. He did exactly that. We had never done anything like that. I woke up to him struggling to get up, tried calling my brother. Just spent a lil time until I knew it was likely the end, and he was right on me the whole time.

My old teacup chihuahua used to go up to my husband. Then yelp as if he did something to her and run crying to me like a hurt toddler to get him in trouble and get extra attention from me lol miss that lil brat.

Not my pet but saw it on IG. It was about a dog who got her bone stolen by his brother. The dog went up to the owner and tapped her while whimpering until the owner understood what she meant. The look on the dog's face the moment the owner understood her was priceless.

I’d only had him a few days. I went to out his harness on and so he got on the step and put his ears flat and stuck out his neck and sort of stretched his body to perfectly fit in the harness.

It was like that moment in Game of Thrones when the dragon bent his neck towards Tyrion so his collar could be removed. It was that perfect.

My husky always knows when I’m baking bread. The funniest part is that I’ll be laying out the cutting board and knife and he’ll come running for the kitchen and plop himself down at the entrance so he can wait patiently for a piece.
